Historic Kensington House is spectacular - Never extended, this original heritage mansion showcases incredible turn-of-the-century architecture.

Choose whether it is pure lifestyle, multi-family, land-banking opportunity, business/residence or perhaps a combination. This is unique. This is iconic.

Prominently located on the corner of Kensington Road and George Street, it is in the heart of the action yet an escape from reality too.

While it retains Norwood’s charms, it is also a bustling, city-fringe location, a mere 3km to the very heart of the Adelaide CBD.

Parking for The Parade sometimes almost reaches back to Kensington House, it is literally that close.

A relaxing escape with country ambiance, you can still enjoy the ultimate of fast-paced city living.

Kensington House is foremost an exceptional family residence on immense and perfectly coutured grounds, but there are a multitude of options for business and commercial integration, as is currently the case (subject to the necessary council consents).

Meticulously renovated throughout in 2007, this elegant yet commanding residence features rooms of vast proportions, adorned with the glow of period features, stately fireplaces, 4m ceilings, plush window treatments and Carrera marble bench tops in bathrooms and kitchens.

There are so many zones - multiple living areas, both formal and informal, multiple entertainer's terraces, three to four to five bedrooms, depending on configuration, three kitchens and three large cellar rooms. There’s also extensive undercover and endless off-street parking, in addition to a detached fully self-contained apartment.

There’s such potential to reorganise the way you live. Currently mixed use, it’s also perfect for multi-generational families. There are facilities for international guests or visiting families, potential to further develop, potential for amazing garden spaces, potential for future ’anything’.
