With its exquisite, century-old period heritage proudly intact and enhanced by a contemporary open-plan extension, this freestanding 1926 California Bungalow presents the perfect blend of old world character, current day enjoyment and future potential. Offered for the first time in 44 years and set on a magnificent 585 square metres (approx.) garden allotment, this immaculate family haven is terrific for today with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, formal and informal indoor and outdoor living, while offering plenty of scope to extend if needed (STCA).

Introduced by a welcoming front veranda and a traditional entrance hall that is enriched by dark timber flooring, wall panelling, internal doors and windows, the home’s heart is an open-plan dining and living domain. The open-plan is a celebration of natural light and leafy outlooks while stepping out to a sundrenched entertainers’ deck and an established backyard oasis, all of which is anchored by a timeless gourmet kitchen where granite working surfaces and premium cabinetry are complemented by a suite of Miele that includes induction cooking and a combi steam oven.

The bedrooms each offer wonderfully well-proportioned accommodation – most notably the primary bedroom which also features robes and an ensuite that has been completed with more granite. Further highlights include a formal dining room and lounge as well as a lock-up garage that is used as storage, driveway parking for at least four vehicles, plus there is a modern concealed laundry, central heating and air conditioning.

Zoned for excellent secondary education at both Camberwell High School and Canterbury Girls Secondary College, the home is also directly opposite Chatham Primary School and pivotal to a diversity of elite private schools, whilst the local café and dining scene at Union Road is peerless, the shopping at Whitehorse Road is highly convenient and the CBD is barely 15 minutes away by train from Union Railway Station.
