9 Taylor Mews, Kensington, Vic 3031

Brilliantly placed among a tightly held river enclave, this smartly stylish, superbly simple abode offers bright, spacious, and affordable access to the ever-adored Kensington lifestyle.

Impressive proportions and clever configuration are key to the allure of a flowing, dual-storey plan, with a quiet lower floor promising ample room to both unwind and enjoy the company of friends. The level’s point of focus, a central entertainer’s courtyard attracts streams of sunlight to an open living/dining domain, while stainless-steel appliances heighten the appeal of a well-appointed kitchen. Serviced by a skylit bathroom boasting a bath, shower, and separate WC, second-storey main and guest bedrooms feature walk-in and built-in robes respectively, while a broad stair landing proves ideal for today’s home professional. With a wide balcony taking in sweeping, leafy vistas, highlights of the home include heating and cooling, a downstairs powder room (second WC), alarm, and remote-controlled garage with integrated laundry.

Equally adept as a starter, investment, or base for a young family, it’s footsteps to parks, wetlands, sporting fields, state-of-the-art Kensington Leisure Centre (nearly completed), and the Maribyrnong’s picturesque leisure trails, while moments to the first-rate coffee, diverse cuisine, extensive retail, and thriving nightlife of Footscray, Seddon, Newmarket, and Kensington Village.
