Mont Albert

On one of Mont Albert's exclusive tree-lined streets, this character-filled 1920's double-brick Post-Edwardian California Bungalow presents a much-loved family home full of timeless charm. Refined front wrought iron gates open to a vast, elegant, hedged garden featuring an impressive palm tree and wide, paved driveway. The delightful front terrace leads indoors to a cozy, informal sitting room/home office on one side and an inviting, bay-windowed living space on the other. Glass doors separate a formal dining space, which extends into the kitchen. The main bedroom features abundant storage and a contemporary ensuite with double shower, heated towel rails and further storage. A further renovated bathroom with Roger Seller fittings including a large cast stone bath and basin, heated towel rail sits adjacent to the north-facing, terracotta-tiled family/dining space with French and bi-fold doors looking out to the paved alfresco entertaining area and private, tranquil, European-inspired back courtyard/garden.

The kitchen offers plentiful storage and integrated fridge freezer plus Miele appliances including a combi microwave/conventional oven, a self-cleaning pyrolytic oven with rotisserie, dishwasher, electric cook top and wok burner, whilst the laundry delivers a generous sink, storage and built-in Robinhood ironing board. All bedrooms, stairs and 1st floor are newly carpeted. The stairs with customised iron balustrading lead up to three bedrooms, two with double doors leading to private balconies, all featuring ceiling fans and large storage spaces. There is also a third bathroom with shower and vanity.

Other features include ducted heating downstairs, split system heating/AC wall units, insinkerator, ethernet wall outlets, watering system, ducted vacuum system, front gate intercom, plantation shutters, light dimmers throughout, Art Deco ceiling details and three working open fireplaces.
