Designer Parkside Retreat Minutes from Melbourne’s City Core

A quiet parkland outlook shapes the first impression of this two bedroom home with two full bathrooms and one additional powder room, setting a calm tone immediately upon arrival. Backing directly onto green space in Kensington, the residence feels removed from the pace of the city while remaining within easy reach of central Melbourne. The initial moments are defined by stillness, filtered light, and the sense of space created by the park just beyond the rear boundary.

The main living areas are arranged for natural daily flow, with the lounge, dining area, and kitchen connected in a single, cohesive layout. Time is easily shared between conversation, meals, and evenings by the fireplace. The kitchen supports everyday living without overtaking the room, allowing the focus to remain on comfort and rhythm rather than formality.

The primary bedroom features a king bed and accommodates a cot, making it well suited for couples or families with young children. The second bedroom includes a full bed and works comfortably for additional adults or children. Two full bathrooms and a separate half bath provide practical flexibility without excess.

Outdoor living here is defined less by private yard space and more by immediate access to the adjoining park, river walks, and nearby green corridors. This shared landscape becomes an extension of daily life, complemented by nearby playgrounds and walking trails.

Days tend to begin with local walks or coffee in the neighborhood, followed by easy trips into the city by train or car. Evenings return to a quieter residential setting, often centered around the living room and fire.

This home is well suited to members seeking a balanced stay that prioritizes calm surroundings, walkable green space, and straightforward access to Melbourne’s cultural and dining core, without the intensity of staying directly within it.
