22 Barnett Street, Kensington, Vic 3031

Relishing high-side placement among a premier Kensington avenue, this timeless gem pairs late-Victorian elegance with contemporary refinement, embracing its surrounds’ signature blend of leafy calm and inner-city buzz.
Nestled beyond the picket fence, broad veranda, and stained glass typical of its era, an endlessly functional plan proves perfect for downsizers and professionals alike, with a pair of substantial bedrooms joined by excellent storage and a smart bathroom with integrated laundry. Fireplaces, exposed-brick walls, and towering, intricate ceilings offer a nod to pre-Federation roots, while an original chimney-turned oven mount sit centrally among living and dining zones. North-side windows attract all-day rays to the space, while stone benches cabinetry adorn a storage-rich kitchen. Providing ample room to entertain under afternoon sun, a wonderfully private yard features thriving plant life, a sizeable shed, and direct lane access (potential for off-street parking), while other highlights include spotted-gum floors, a decked central courtyard, ceiling fans, comprehensive heating/cooling, and plentiful street parking.
As quaint and elegant as it is clever and convenient, Racecourse Road’s bustle and Macaulay Road’s village atmosphere sit at each end of the surrounding street, with eclectic dining and cafés, boutique and supermarket shopping, heritage-laced pubs, trams bound for hospitals and universities, and stations from two train lines all just steps away.
