About this property

The Loft: A Chic City-fringe Balcony Hideaway

A five-minute walk to Kensington Station and the suburb's vibrant dining precinct, this sun-drenched, minimalist-meets-contemporary apartment features eclectic, open-plan living, walls lined with carefully curated artwork, and an oversized balcony to enjoy the afternoon sun while you barbecue. High-ceilings and tasteful decor blend with modern functionality including a dedicated workspace, heating and cooling, in-unit laundry and two secure parking spaces.
With no-one above or below this second floor, two-storey apartment, you will enjoy a peaceful stay with bright spaces adorned in handpicked pieces. Open plan living features timber flooring flowing into the kitchen, with its modern, monochrome aesthetic, hand-crafted bar and a sleek kitchen island for prepping meals. When you aren't out sampling the abundance of eateries nearby, an oval table offers plenty of space to enjoy meals at home. Tasteful wall-hung art in the living area frames a plush sofa offering space to chill out after a day of work or play. Come evening, take to the balcony that offers alfresco seating and a gas BBQ.

Upstairs you'll find two queen bedrooms bathed in natural light and a full bathroom. The loft-style master overlooks the living area, while the second features a desk to focus while working remotely. Both rooms offer plenty of storage for your belongings. In the bathroom, enjoy a leisurely soak in the bath or rinse off in the shower, while a powder room on the first floor adds to your everyday convenience.

An in-unit washer and dryer ensures your stay is self-sufficient. There is free undercover parking and one more spot on the driveway.
During your stay, you and your group will have the entire apartment to yourself. Please make yourself at home!

Kensington is a leafy inner-suburb of Melbourne that sits just a few minutes drive north-west of the Melbourne CBD. It offers plenty of delectable eateries to choose from. Nip into The Premises for a specialty coffee and a quirky breakfast or head out to Clay Oven Pizza for modern, Italian-style wood-fired pizza. Enjoy a craft beer at the Hardimans Hotel and come home to observe the night sky at this brilliantly transparent abode.

Due to local regulations, we can happily host you for up to 90 nights. Any bookings that exceed this duration will be cancelled by Vrbo.
