Set on a quintessential Kensington street with elegant stucco-fronted townhouses and a tranquil atmosphere, this six-bedroom family home is captivating in scale and ripe for interior creativity. Across its six spacious floors, expect flawless architectural design, an abundance of natural light and sun-drenched outdoors spaces.

An entrance hallway leads through double doors into the open-plan kitchen and dining room. Warm wood floors span the entire space, which is brightly lit through dual-aspect sash windows. At one end, timber cabinets and stainless steel appliances make for a modern culinary setting. At the other, an ornate fireplace sits in between two whitewashed display cabinets. Also on this floor is a quiet study, which leads through a glass-clad conservatory to the private garden. A sense of privacy is afforded with the rear brick wall, while an array of flowers and foliage are planted throughout.

Occupying the entire first floor is a formal reception room, which bears hallmarks of the home’s period heritage with decorative cornicing, a ceiling rose and a marble fireplace. Natural light pours through large sash windows, illuminating the whitewashed walls and glossy wood floors. On the half landing, curved French windows open onto a charming terrace overlooking the garden below. A second reception room is located on the lower-ground floor, which has direct access to a patio.

The principal bedroom suite takes over the second floor. It’s a thoroughly elegant affair, with grey carpets and a series of integrated whitewashed wardrobes. Next door, its en suite bathroom features a dual vanity and pebble-toned marble that wraps around a bath and separate shower. Five guest bedrooms are spread across the lower-ground and third floors, served by contemporary bathrooms. At the top of the home, find a wood-panelled gym room, complete with a bathroom and sauna.
