96-98 Mercantile Parade, Kensington, Vic 3031

Across three luminous levels, this remarkable residence presents an exceptional inner-urban family lifestyle opportunity with its vast and versatile design, impressive enhancements and prime location moments from the open spaces of JJ Holland Reserve.

More house than townhouse, the impeccable interior showcases three generous bedrooms (large master) all with built-in robes, as well as a private ensuite, deluxe main bathroom with freestanding tub and additional (3rd) WC.

Family appeal is further enhanced by three distinct living spaces. Aa spacious lounge (or home office) with kitchenette, a versatile rumpus/retreat and an expansive open living/dining area adjoined by a superb stone-bench kitchen with soft-close cabinetry, quality cooking appliances and integrated dishwasher.

Other fine features include a dedicated study zone, full-size laundry and under-stair storeroom, along with split-system heating/cooling (x3) and impressively high ceilings throughout.

Completing the picture is a rear terrace with elevated outlook, front balcony and private backyard with undercover entertaining area, plus the added advantage of an internally-accessed double garage to Raynor Lane behind.

A short stroll to the new recreation centre (under construction), Kensington Road buses and South Kensington Station (2 stops to town), it’s also close to endless river trails, village shops, cafes and popular primary schools, as well as easy access to Citylink.
