C.1890 as the Tram Master's Cottage, when horse-drawn trams finished their routes in Kensington, this captivating bluestone residence has evolved into a sophisticated family haven - one that honours its heritage while embracing every contemporary comfort.
Just footsteps from Pembroke School, zoned for Marryatville High, and less than 4 km from the CBD, this home unites character, comfort and cosmopolitan lifestyle in one timeless package.
Rich in historic detail - stained-glass windows, ornate cornices, and decorative ceiling domes - the home's craftsmanship is beautifully balanced by 21st-century updates including ducted air-conditioning, insulated glazing, solar power, and integrated Ethernet cabling.
At the heart of the home, a chef's kitchen with Miele and Blanco appliances flows effortlessly to open-plan living and dining, where natural light and space combine to perfection. From here, you step on to a vine-draped, verandah overlooking a solar-heated pool protected by shade sails - its sunset views the ultimate invitation for outdoor entertaining year-round.
From the elegant entry hall, two front bedrooms capture the romance of the home's Victorian origins, one cleverly extended to a fully tiled ensuite with both a shower and claw-foot bathtub. Beyond the main living area, a flexible second lounge or formal dining space adjoins a sky-lit third bedroom with built-ins, offering ideal separation for children or guests.
To the rear, the back hall passes a dedicated storage room (perfect for storing wine) and a second bathroom, before its ultimate revelation: The sunlit 25 sq m master bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe - this private, air-conditioned sanctuary, with French doors opening to the pool and verandah, offers a serene morning start before the day begins.
Completing the picture, a powered and insulated studio with separate tool storage adds incredible versatility - equally suited to a creative workspace, home office or weekend workshop.
Economical as it is elegant, the property features a 6.3 kW solar system with golden feed-in tariff until 2028, 15,000 L rainwater storage, and intelligent orientation for year-round efficiency.
A rare blend of Victorian grace and modern ingenuity, this is a Kensington landmark reborn for contemporary family living.
