Take a walk with me through 11 Arundel Street Kensington...

You can tell that this property is special from the quiet cul-de-sac road with street appeal and character that immediately draws you in, however, nothing prepares you for where this tour is about to lead.

The warm charm and character of the 1930s bungalow has been lovingly respected. Original features to the front façade such as the timber framed windows and terracotta tiles have been revitalised and modernised with manicured gardens and charcoal finishing resulting in a simple elegance.

Walking through the front door you immediately sense where old meets new as you're drawn to the light filled living areas at the end of the hallway. In 2009 the owners engaged architect Meaghan White to open up and reinvigorate the home. The renovations to the home embrace the original classic architecture together with intertwining a modern, clean aesthetic all of its own. With furniture and décor to compliment the new design it was transformed into a home that you could imagine magazine worthy. And then it was! The property was featured in Scoop's Insite Magazine in Autumn 2010.

With three bedrooms and two living areas the front living area could easily be used as a fourth bedroom. The master bedroom feels warm and luxurious with its chandelier and feature wall which connects it to the modern finish of the ensuite through glimpses of the Spanish floor to ceiling tiles.

The kitchen is compact but packs more in than many larger kitchens. Its large stone island bench makes it functional from anywhere in the kitchen while keeping you connected to the open plan living area to entertain or stay connected to the family. No corners have been cut when it comes to storage either. With ample kitchen cupboard space, it also has a discreet family sized pantry and a study nook that can be left open or hidden behind folding doors. Open or closed it blends into the functionality of the space.

The highlight of the renovation design is the curved veneer wall which has been made even more popular when a similar design was used in a recent episode of The Block. This curved wall has two hidden doors, one which opens to a linen cupboard, the other leads through to the laundry and powder room.

The back living area opens to the deck and manicured gardens and is bright and friendly, giving this section of the home a spacious open feel.

An inspection of this property is essential to further capture its warm, elegant yet homely ambience. There's no doubt that a property like this will stay on the market for a short time only.
