Blending modern convenience with period charm, this gracious Californian Bungalow captivates from the moment you step inside, where delicate ornate detail, tall ceilings, picture rails, stained glass windows and elaborate ceiling roses celebrate a bygone era. The perfect parent's retreat, a private sitting room/study with cosy open fire place with ornate surround precedes the generous main bedroom, with a pretty bay window and built in robes. Two further large bedrooms, with Baltic pine floors and built in robes are flooded with light and share a glistening period bathroom with stained glass window. Old and new dovetail effortlessly throughout a choice of living zones, with a formal lounge leading to an open plan entertainment zone, with a chef's kitchen (900mm oven, Bosch dishwasher) and open plan dining and living flowing to a further living space with direct access to a covered alfresco patio and the indoor solar heated pool, spa and shower. A separate private teenager's retreat/gym/games room offers a fourth bedroom option. With gas ducted heating and evaporative cooling throughout the home, an alarm, 3000L watertank and four car garage/workshop, this family residence is located amidst a fine selection of schools and close to Essendon train station, Keilor Road tram and North Essendon village. http://www.73mccrackenstreetessendon.com/ Photo ID Required
