Camberwell

A generational family residence in an esteemed position right on the cusp of Camberwell Junction, this tastefully reimagined circa-1920s California Brick Bungalow is set on a securely gated allotment of 739 square metres (approx.) with five bedrooms, four bathrooms and a home office. Synthesising all the hallmarks of its original period with contemporary living for today and potential to introduce your own flair, this is a landmark offering in a blue-ribbon location.

Beyond its exquisite façade and a traditional wrap-around veranda, the home opens to reveal stunning leadlight windows, fine ceiling detail and a paneled entrance before flowing to a contemporary open-plan rear where Miele appliances are wrapped in benches of stone – including a five-person breakfast bar. Gracefully, the indoors extend outdoors to an alfresco area that captures plenty of northern sun and promises joyful home entertaining.

Both the lounge room – with a welcoming bench seat set under a north-facing window – and a semi-attached dining room – warmed by a traditional fireplace – are ambient spaces that pay homage to the home’s heritage. Meanwhile, a large office at the front of the home could readily be re-purposed as an additional living space.

Further highlights include a pair of remarkably large bedrooms with built-in robes and ensuites, a lock-up garage with driveway parking for up to six additional vehicles and secure video entry, as well as a security alarm, ducted heating, and split systems.

Walk to an almost endless selection of cafes, restaurants, shops and even cinemas at Camberwell Junction, where trams can take you in every direction combining easy city commuting with incredible access to private schools.
