Highlever Road

Victorian heritage reimagined for modern living. A lateral two-bedroom North Kensington apartment for sale.

Natural light drives the design at this calm-inducing apartment. Past a picturesque facade – all blonde brick and ornate cream stucco – a private entrance opens to a period home remade with contemporary sensibility.

Set to the home’s rear, the social hub makes the most of a south-west facing aspect. Light, space and neutral tones – it’s a sophisticated canvas ready for personalisation. The galley kitchen lines the left wall, a thoughtful set up comprising sleek wood cabinetry, veined stone countertops and a double Miele oven. Skylights overhead keep the ambiance in check; a full width glass panel ensures greenery is always in view. Outdoors, the patio establishes an easy connection with interiors – a backdrop for summer dining outdoors. Stepping stones trace a path through the manicured lawn, enclosed by boundary walls that lend welcome privacy.

The two bedrooms are set apart from the social spaces, thoughtfully proportioned and restful. The principal suite enjoys leafy street views from the bay window, while the guest bedroom benefits from access to a decked lightwell patio.
