In a suburb that's shaking off its sleeper status, this c.1900 villa leans into the charm Kilkenny does best - symmetrical from the street, sweet as a button and more substantial than first impressions let on.

Beyond that bullnose verandah, its baltic pine floors, soaring ceilings, colourful lead light windows and timber fretwork shine.

That's not to say this 3-bedroom beauty is stuck in the past. Instead, it's been stretched out, opened up and made for modern life.

The common ground: a kitchen with crisp lines, considered finishes and just enough timber to soften the edges. The 900mm gas cooktop and built-in dishwasher speak fluently in convenience - with the dining zone not far behind.

When it's time to retreat, or just binge a docuseries in peace - the oversized barn door slides back to reveal a second lounge, warmed by a combustion heater and layered in soft carpet underfoot.

Outside, a solar-heated pool, hugged by timber decking and glass fencing, puts the summer-loving exclamation mark on a rear yard with an alfresco pavilion, built-in BBQ and hammock-worthy corners.

Add in veggie patches, raised garden beds, fruit trees and a chicken coop, and suddenly you've got a pocket-sized urban market garden that turns dinner into something you harvested yourself.

And it's all wrapped in the low-key magic of Kilkenny - where character reigns, the city's just 20 minutes away and homes like this make slow living look like the smart play.
