40 Bowen Street
Camberwell

The enduring appeal of a classic Californian c1920 is showcased in this charming brick family home - both inside and out. Where period attributes, including leadlight glass, decorative ceilings and stained timber woodwork have been sympathetically retained within a harmoniously renovated, extended and character laden interior. Perfectly located on a corner in a beautiful tree-lined street close to the highly desirable environs of the Sunnyside Estate.

Set in lush and leafy gardens providing a tranquil backdrop to the home, the flexible interior over two levels features a Baltic Pine hallway leading to a formal sitting room and adjoining dining room. Four zoned bedrooms, two downstairs, including a main with a walk-in robe and period-style ensuite plus two upstairs alongside a period-style family bathroom. The expansive family living and dining room has soaring second level ceilings and tall windows with lovely garden vistas. A well-appointed timber kitchen is equipped with premium quality Westinghouse/Bosch appliances; plus an adjacent study, walk-in pantry and laundry, flowing to a northern paved outdoor dining and entertaining area. An undeniably delightful space for alfresco enjoyment with family or friends. Other comprehensive appointments include R/C air conditioner, OFPs and surround sound (family room), ample internal, roof and garden storage plus a remote carport with access from Nettleton Avenue.

This appealing home is situated midway between Toorak and Camberwell Roads, close to Burke Road plus Camberwell Junction, shopping, cafes, restaurants and Rivoli Cinema or the Tooronga Village Complex. With easy access to the CBD or Mornington Peninsula via CityLink, plus transport options, including a bus service at the doorstep to many of Melbourne’s prestige schools, including the popular Camberwell or South Camberwell Primary - all underpinning the family lifestyle benefits of its location.
