This secluded residence in the heart of Kennington offers the complete package. From its classic façade to stylish interiors and beautifully landscaped grounds, "Lansdown" impresses at every level. It is like having your own personal resort.
The property has the potential to include a home business, additional sheds, or subdivision of the expansive single-title 6,465 m² lot (STCA), currently with an approved two-lot subdivision planning permit.
A circular driveway framed by ornamental pear trees winds through the lush landscaped grounds, setting the tone for this exceptional home. Formal garden beds featuring tall palms and conifers, along with clipped hedges and vibrant shrubbery, greet you at the columned entry.
The timeless residence combines style, functionality, and quality. It is a sanctuary filled with natural light, showcasing a total renovation where fresh white interiors and timber accents create a coastal vibe. Higher ceilings enhance the sense of space, complemented by new timber floors that create a sense of grandeur in the entry foyer.
The ground-floor layout is practical and stylish, with natural light filtering through bay windows in the home office and formal lounge, which connect to the formal dining room.
Perfect for entertainers, the chef's kitchen includes premium Bosch appliances, marble-topped benches, ample soft-close cabinetry, and a butler's pantry with a servery window to the alfresco area. Expansive family living and dining spaces feature a stunning sandstone accent wall. French doors open to an alfresco courtyard with an outdoor kitchen, pizza oven, heated spa, and a sparkling 12 m x 6 m solar-heated pool. Privately fenced, it includes a wading pool for toddlers and a cantilever shade umbrella, making it ideal for relaxed outdoor entertaining or quiet family time.
Upstairs features a spacious landing with French door access to a balcony, four generous bedrooms (including a master suite with a walk-in robe and glamorous ensuite), a powder room, and the main bathroom—all designed for comfort and convenience.
An attached ground-floor studio offers options for guests, teenagers, or extended family. It includes a bedroom, living room/kitchenette, bathroom, and an adaptable room for hobbies or a studio.
Ideally located in the heart of Kennington, "Lansdown" is mere minutes away from schools, shops, cafés/restaurants, La Trobe University, and Kennington Reservoir, offering the perfect balance between secluded living and convenience.
The single title of approximately 6,456 m² offers a unique opportunity to develop a cleared, level, and fenced section (approximately 1,330 m²) for use as a home-based business and car park (e.g., medical/allied health consultancy), a second dwelling, or additional shed space for your car collection with current planning permit.
