After years of disruption with the light rail construction, Kensington has emerged as an even more connected place to live with the project boosting both the appeal and the convenience of the inner east suburb. A university precinct at heart, Kensington now gives buyers all the benefits of what neighbouring Randwick has always offered with proximity to Centennial Park and Royal Randwick Racecourse and, with great infrastructure in place, in most cases offers better value. From high-end designer apartments to prestige homes, we have a choice of great properties to choose from listed with our local specialists Anthony Puntigam and Tristan Oddi.

Anthony says, “Kensington really is on the up and we’ve listed an array of cracking properties including two in The Stables, the Fox Johnston designed landmark, and two in the highly regarded Capella which has the light rail at the doorstep and landscaped gardens with a gorgeous pool offering a quiet retreat from the fast pace of city living. Highly affordable for a three-bedroom apartment with double parking, 401A/264 Anzac Parade, Kensington is set to the rear of Capella and comes with a buyer’s guide of $1.1m. A few floors up on the penthouse level, 802E/103 Doncaster Avenue, Kensington commands unobstructed racecourse views from a sun-drenched roof terrace and features a buyer’s guide of $1.5m. A bit further down the street in The Stables, we’ve just listed one of only two reinvented Victorian terraces that form part of the complex at 156 Doncaster Avenue, Kensington as well as a sub penthouse to the rear of the block at 207/152 Doncaster Avenue, Kensington which holds a front row position to the racing action.”

Tristan has listed a two-storey home with one of the best positions in the prestigious Raleigh Park estate. Set amid 20 acres of manicured grounds, 32 Brompton Road, Kensington overlooks a beautiful park inspired by Kensington Palace. Tristan says, “With the park as a virtual extension of the home and a sunny courtyard designed by Secret Gardens, the four bedroom home is perfect for families with access to resort style facilities including pools and tennis courts and even an on-site day care centre. With a buyer’s guide of $2.43m, it offers superb value for the quality of the build, the superb location and incredible lifestyle benefits and is just 5km to the CBD.”
