A picture-perfect torrens titled maisonette tucked away in a whisper-quiet pocket of Kensington that seems too serene to be true, 7a Phillips Street honours the past and offers a future that looks bright indeed on a 429 square metre parcel of land. Meticulously refreshed with new roofing including a roof insulating blanket, rewiring and painting, C1920 origins harmonise flawlessly with light-filled contemporary calibre over a footprint that stretches far beyond street impressions. Fleshly polished timber floors extend across a wide entry hall that unites two generous double bedrooms, unfolding to a central lounge with brick fireplace and a galley kitchen.

That impressive scale continues across to a neat bathroom and laundry, before arriving at a storage shed/man cave and teenage retreat/studio that elevates the framework further.

Enviable rear yard

The sizeable yard showcases the full scale of the 429sqm (approx.) allotment, completing the equation with scope to start planning your new outdoor entertaining epicentre, pool resort, or even further extension (STCC).

While it’s easy to soak up the leafy peace and feel miles away from it all, in reality, you’re only ever a few steps away from morning coffee at High Street Cafe, lunch at Don’s Deli, downtime at Kensington Oval, cocktail hour at Bar Lune, and all the café culture and nightlife that defines Norwood Parade. Zoned for Marryatville Primary School and Norwood International High School, and guaranteed to never miss the school bell at Mary Mackillop or Saint Ignatius, while it’s only 10 minutes to the CBD for a streamlined school run and commute.

A choose-your-own-adventure in bricks and mortar, the next chapter belongs to you.

Embrace as a profitable long-term investment or short stay accommodation, start dreaming up your bespoke vision, or simply settle in and start finetuning your routine with every local icon at your doorstep - every option looks equally epic.
