71-73 Neale Street, Kennington VIC 3550

Circa 1928, "Allawah" is an exemplary period-style residence in one of Kennington's best locations.


Admired by many but owned by only a handful of owners in its lifetime, the meticulously maintained solid brick residence features a terracotta tiled gabled roof supported by pairs of fluted columns atop classic cast stone balustrades.

A grand marble staircase sweeps to the formal double entry with tessellated tiled verandahs wrapping around three sides.

Inside, impeccably preserved period details include polished jarrah floors, Queensland maple wall panelling, high ornate ceilings, detailed open fireplaces and beautiful leadlight glazed bow windows and doors.

The magnificent entry foyer flanked by the formal lounge and the large main suite features a central arch and access to the grand dining room.
The luxurious main suite enjoys robes to the dressing room/study area, access to the two-way bathroom and double doors to the side verandah.

Three more generous bedrooms with robe storage adjoin the spacious sunroom/children's play area and walk-through linen store.
Modern updates to the main bathroom include a sumptuous freestanding bathtub, shower, and separate powder room, while a second bathroom forms part of the new laundry.

The upgraded kitchen/family design maximises northern light, and boasts high-end fittings like stone bench tops and breakfast bar, a 110cm Falcon gas/electric range, a Miele dishwasher and ample cabinetry featuring an appliance cupboard and roll-out pantry while the dry cellar is ready to take your wine collection.

Next to the kitchen, the expansive dining room features built-in cabinetry for dinner service or drinks and easily accommodates a dining setting for fourteen. Alternatively, it could be a second living room overlooking the rear garden.

A separate 10m x 6m billiard room/studio at the rear of the home offers growing families the option of a teen retreat, a work-from-home space or conversion for multi-generation living or Airbnb space.

"Allawah" presents a unique opportunity to secure a superb home set amid idyllic manicured gardens featuring a former tennis court, an orchard, rose-lined driveways, ample off-street parking, storage/workshop and triple garaging accessed via electric side gates.

Set behind a brick fence to ensure peace and privacy on two titles totalling approx. 4,750 sq metres, this outstanding property offers an incomparable lifestyle within a short walk to sporting facilities, popular schools and childcare centres with easy access to the CBD.
