Oozing that quintessential Kensington character, you could be mistaken for thinking this dual-level home on a prized corner plot was built in the early 1900s, not 2001 - such is the genius of its creator, late architect Brian Polomka.

Brian ensures looks are deceiving, in the best of ways; pairing the steeply pitched gables, colonial windows and wonderful symmetry of its white-picketed facade with an internal layout made for the 21st-century family.

Swing open the red entry door and open-plan living hits you with a spacious, light-drenched thud on a ground level defined by its hardwood floors, high ceilings, a bevy of plantation-shuttered windows, home office/fourth bedroom and modern kitchen.

If the kitchen - featuring a servery window, stainless steel appliances, double dishwasher and loads of storage - is the hub, then the rumpus/home theatre is a beautiful excuse to escape one another in this ducted-comforted home with a lock-up garage and alfresco patio at its periphery.

Blissful rest is reserved for the upper floor, where your bedroom comes with an ensuite and walk-in robe, and the kids can take their pick of the equally appealing bedrooms 2 and 3 - each with built-in study desks/storage and swift access to the main bathroom.

Set where Maesbury and High Streets carve out a wide parcel in the prized zone for Marryatville High School, Mr Polomka knew exactly what he was doing when he placed the home back and away from their intersection; creating peace, privacy and the prettiest of north-facing gardens in the process. Thank you, Mr Polomka. Thank you very much.
