Plunge into family perfection, this considerable 5-bedroom, 4 living zone and 3.5-bathroom Californian Bungalow is the ultimate entertainer boasting every al fresco extra. A home for all seasons with idyllic spots to soak up the western sunshine by the resort-style, gas heated pool and decked spa or cosy-up by the gas heaters in the cooler months.

Tailor-made for a growing family the home is nestled towards the end of a leafy cul de sac between Bay and Martin Streets, walking distance to two stations, leading schools, restaurants, shops, the cinema and beach. Set amidst established gardens, a wall of glass frames the sparkling pool creating an instant sense of ‘wow’ from the moment you step inside this inviting home.

Gorgeous original rooms with period proportions and beautiful details such as sun-catching bay-windows, clear-glass leadlights and high decorative ceilings include a formal lounge (open fireplace) and dining room as well as the main bedroom. The spacious master is graced with a fitted walk-in robe and two-way, stone vanity ensuite (full-size bath).

The heart of this property is the light-filled living and entertaining precinct featuring a custom-designed kitchen overlooking the pool. A waterfall stone island bench complements an array of Neff appliances and endless cabinetry. The butler’s flows through to the laundry and powder room, while a concealed study niche is another thoughtful inclusion.

A purpose-built al fresco pavilion is ideal for large-scale gatherings or special family occasions in any weather with its Teppanyaki grill, pizza oven, heating, auto shade blind and spa. The exceptional floor plan continues inside with a fifth bedroom or study completing the lower level. Upstairs is a kids’ haven encompassing a lounge/retreat, store room and three more over-sized bedrooms with built-in study desks, robes and ensuite bathroom access.

Wonderfully cared for and enjoyed by one family for 20 years, the home includes hydronic heating throughout, heated towel rails in the bathrooms, reverse cycle cooling, hardwood flooring, excellent storage, intercom entry and auto-gated parking.
