Luxuriating on the city fringe, this weatherboard Californian bungalow has been beautifully reimagined for modern family living. The facade retains the traditional bungalow characteristics of a twin-gabled roof, a low-slung front porch supported by masonry piers and art-deco-inspired leadlight glazing to the front windows. But, inside is a different story.
Basking in the afterglow of an extensive rebuild and a contemporary extension, the home unfolds across two levels. It has a wide central hallway and four spacious bedrooms (main with a walk-in-robe and chic ensuite), a sleek family bathroom and a separate WC.
The extension boasts expansive open-plan living, dining and kitchen spaces designed for everyday comfort and entertaining. With high ceilings and beautifully polished hardwood floors, the family-sized dining and living areas can accommodate large groups when the occasion calls.
The designer kitchen features a 900mm Smeg gas/electric range, a dishwasher, ample soft-close drawers and storage, including a double pantry. An epic waterfall-end, stone-topped island takes care of meal prepping and casual dining, while a closet study nook makes for a handy home office and easy monitoring of internet use.
An internal staircase leads to the basement laundry and the double under-house garage, which includes a storeroom for bulky items or perhaps a workshop bench. The garage is accessed by a side driveway with ample manoeuvrability for parking and reversing.
Glass sliders from the living area roll back to an elevated alfresco deck overlooking the neat backyard and leafy views over the neighbourhood and city landmarks. The approx. 714 sq mt lot features low-maintenance landscaping. The cute child's cubby house in the backyard enjoys uninterrupted views of the cathedral spire!
This totally renewed home offers a light-filled environment for families or professionals in a coveted position. The quiet street within a short walk of the CBD means you can fill your weekends with action and culture. Dine in an array of restaurants and cafes, go shopping, picnic in Rosalind Park, browse the Arts Precinct or indulge in the many sporting venues. Schooling options include Girton College, one block away, and additional private and public schools within walking distance.
