An outstanding family opportunity in an unbeatable lifestyle location, this supersized 6 bedroom Californian Bungalow (circa 1929) seamlessly combines irresistible period charm with the contemporary comforts of open and relaxed living, dining and entertaining. Beyond an elegant verandah and arched hallway entry, discover a flexible 2-storey floorplan highlighted by a formal sitting room basking in the northern light. The large air-conditioned main bedroom also faces north, graced with a lead-lit bay window and serviced by built-in robes and a striking, semi-ensuite showcasing a luxurious bath and a fully tiled, walk-in frameless shower. Always free-flowing, a second robed bedroom is staged at the front, alongside a work-ready study with integrated cabinetry, shelving and a fully fitted timber desk.

This far-reaching space is thoughtfully designed and purpose-built for effortless entertaining on any scale you wish. Step outside and make every social event an occasion with a paved courtyard and sheltered alfresco. Complemented by a separate entertainers’ terrace under a leafy canopy, all these outdoor spaces will be used on a daily basis as a private sanctuary or the ideal spot to entertain family and friends. Perfectly proportioned, the exterior is enhanced by a lush lawn and a beautifully tended garden bursting with colour. The remaining quartet of robed bedrooms are all posted upstairs, serviced by a deluxe bathroom with a bath and walk-in shower. Further to this, a bright teen retreat or study is drenched in glorious northern light, the perfect spot to slip away for some quiet time.
