Make history with grand appeal and landmark potential on the edge of Ormond hill. Built to the highest standard and grandest proportions of its time in generous north-rear family grounds, this solid-brick three bedroom, two bathroom Californian Bungalow has been much loved and impeccably maintained by one happy family for over half-a-century. Now this unique period home it’s ready to regain its place as one of the area’s finest homes. Wonderfully liveable with a pristine kitchen, a big modern bathroom and huge ensuite (each with the same immaculate presentation), this beautifully comfortable home is climate-controlled by reverse-cycle air-conditioning with the added warmth of a well-placed gas-fireplace and original hardwood floors - polished to perfection. With a well-fitted laundry stepping out to manicured entertainers' and vegetable gardens, there’s a big old-fashioned backyard for kids to grow and a securable garage and workshop to help out along the way. Move in, relax and take your time to plan for tomorrow amongst the most distinctive detail of yesterday. Spectacularly well-proportioned from broad front steps, to a breathtaking entry lobby, to large and lofty bedrooms, the home is a showcase of the eras finest detail. Graced with richly panelled walls and sparkling with diamond-pane and leadlight glazing, the home is uniquely architecturally detailed with timber plate-rails and fireplace mantles in the style of 1920s architect, Harold Desbrowe-Annear.
