52 Brandon Street, Kensington WA 6151

Kensington in 1929 was very different with only two streets in the area - Fremantle Road (now Canning Highway) and Brandon Street where the first owners moved into this modern double-fronted brick and iron beauty.

Things may have changed over the years and that lovely modern home is now considered a Federation classic.
It has retained many of the most sought-after original features and the ageless appeal begins with the picket fence surrounding a lovely cottage garden as well as the quintessential front verandah.

Inside you will be relieved to see that the irreplaceable heritage features are intact from the solid Jarrah floorboards to the classic fireplaces as well as high ceilings with original decorative roses and cornices.
The sash windows and timber doors with brass fittings also remain as well as the deep skirting boards which were all the hallmarks of quality construction in the late 1920's.

The family room with an original working fireplace and the dining room open seamlessly to the large timber entertaining deck with triple stacking Jarrah doors.
There is a galley style kitchen with plenty of storage and benches and a large laundry adjoining with extra storage space.

Over time, there has been the addition of a double lock up garage, ceiling fans, security system, it has been re-roofed and the wiring and plumbing has been replaced.
There is also a new attic room with power and would make a perfect kids play area or perhaps your own hobby room!

The location means you're only ever an easy bus ride to the Perth CBD or a short bike ride to the South Perth foreshore, Kensington primary school is less than a 400 metre walk and you're only two blocks from the Morris Mundy Reserve.

Nearly 90 years later, if the first owners returned to 52 Brandon Street, they would find Kensington has grown, notice hemlines have risen somewhat and be surprised by the cars we are driving but they would still easily recognise their brick and iron beauty in a heartbeat.
