306 & 308 The Parade, Kensington, SA 5068

Nestled at the gateway into Kensington's tranquil tree-lined backstreets, minutes' walk to neighbouring Norwood's vibrant retail heart, city-bound buses and a swag of prestige private/public schools, 306 The Parade is a double delight offering its lucky buyer the option to rent out both or call the fully renovated dwelling home while drawing income from the 'all-original' next door.

Both maisonettes have their own entry points off a divided, well-planted front garden and are self-contained inside with floorplans comprising 2 bedrooms, a central lounge, combined kitchen/meals areas, with bathrooms off the laundry - the ceilings lovely and high as you'd expect. While they share a common rear pergola, this outdoor space could be split and there's already delineation of the sprawling backyard through central fencing and always scope to further reimagine (STCC).

The fully air-conditioned renovated side has had its timber floorboards beautifully revived through the bedrooms and lounge. The front bed has a fireplace, with a BIR next door, and Roman-style blinds can be pulled over the sash windows. The chic new kitchen/meals area is gleaming with all-electric stainless mod cons while an integrated laundry zone sits outside an updated bathroom with full height tiles, a tub and shower, heat lamps and an elegant vanity. 

Next door is rent ready, but the décor is 'of its time' and you might consider some refurbishments (STCC) if you were keen to up your income return. As is, the bedrooms are carpeted, the lounge has mixed flooring and wall-coverage, and there's a gas cooker and solid timber cabinets in the kitchen. The bathroom and adjacent laundry are both original but just be inspired by your neighbour!

Rounding out this offer is a double garage/workshop running off Thornton Street, with a big adjoining shed. If you did rework the backyard at all, this space could be reconfigured to suit (STCC). What you won't want to change is this oh-so-sweet location at the doorstep to the Parade's retail and restaurant precinct and only 3km from town.
