Harmonising elegant original features with a glorious architect-designed extension, this stylishly transformed c.1926 Californian Bungalow embodies sublime family living in a dynamic locale. Beyond spacious bedrooms featuring Baltic pine floors and original ornamented ceilings, this energy rated residence flows to a smartly equipped study before opening into a vast gourmet kitchen, dining and family room. Clerestory windows usher in northerly light, a gas log fire creates cosy ambience and superb culinary credentials shine. Uniting a waterfall stone island, 900mm Blanco appliances and Miele dishwasher with a butler's pantry and laundry, the kitchen is a foodies' delight, while a Merbau entertainer's deck and manicured garden are the perfect complements, ornamented by mature fruiting citrus trees. Two gleaming central bathrooms, additional heating, cooling, double glazed windows, security features, a sizeable attic, long driveway and garage ensure extensive appeal. A stroll to popular eateries, IGA Xpress, buses, trams, Melville Road shops, Dunstan Reserve, Moonee Ponds Creek trail and schools, it's a brilliant base for an entertaining couple and equally impressive for the thriving family.
