If there was an award for period perfection this Californian family home would be a clear winner. Enviably situated in the leafy and exclusive Hassett Estate with its picturesque tree-lined streets and surrounded by many prestigious period homes. On the market for only the second time in its illustrious history, this home is a beautiful showpiece for Art Deco attributes. Meticulous attention-to-detail to the highest standards has delivered harmonised characteristics throughout the fully refurbished, light-filled interior. Including box bay windows, high decorative ceilings, picture rails, diamond shaped coloured lead-light windows and two decorative original open fireplaces.

Gracing lush, landscaped gardens it is preceded by a pathway lined with standard roses and tuckpointed brick façade adding to the instant appeal. Double doors reveal a wide entrance hall with Baltic Pine floors flowing to a formal sitting room, three zoned bedrooms and a sparkling period-style family bathroom with a clawfoot bath. Through to an elegant dining and living room, a stylish contemporary kitchen equipped with Miele and Smeg appliances, and an adjoining powder room and laundry, the sophisticated blend of period and contemporary living is continued.

The rear sunroom and study overlook the expansive and mature private rear garden, lined with ornamental trees, boxed hedges and a paved entertainment area. Alongside this, the Tuscan inspired water feature and fire pit provide an outdoor dining and entertainment haven – much enjoyed and loved by the current owners.

The potential is endless, the original garage currently used for storage could be opened up as another living area, studio, gym or dedicated home office. This superb home offers scope for further improvements and extended living areas if desired in the future (STCA). Other desirable appointments include hydronic heating, evaporative cooling, garden shed, alarm, watering system and off-street parking.

This stylish home provides a wonderful opportunity with nothing to do but move in and enjoy the sought-after family lifestyle available here in one of the most charming streets in the leafy Hassett Estate.
