Set in one of New Town's most sought-after streets, this 1920 Californian Bungalow is a spacious family residence that blends classic character with an impressively flexible floor plan, offering generous proportions and multiple living zones rarely found this close to the CBD.
A welcoming front porch with incredible timber detail leads into the formal entry hall, setting the tone for the scale and layout within. The main living room is positioned at the front of the home, featuring leadlight windows and gorgeous timber picture ledges wrapping around the room creating a warm and elegant space for relaxed evenings or entertaining.
In the centre of the home, a large dining room connects seamlessly with the recently updated kitchen, and meals area, forming the everyday heart of the house. From here, the layout opens into a family room and office space, perfectly suited to modern living.
Accommodation on the ground floor includes two generous bedrooms. The main bedroom is a true highlight, featuring a beautiful bay window, large proportions and built-in robes, creating a private and comfortable retreat. These bedrooms are serviced by a central bathroom, which has also been recently renovated, offering contemporary finishes while respecting the home's original character.
Upstairs, two further bedrooms are complemented by dedicated study areas and built-in robes, creating an ideal retreat for children, guests or home office use. The second bathroom is located just downstairs to service these bedrooms whilst the large laundry is conveniently adjacent.
To the rear of the home, sits a light-filled family space and a sunroom providing versatile additional spaces that can be easily adapted to your needs. The sunroom is a flexible space and offers excellent potential to be utilised as an additional bedroom if required, further enhancing the home's adaptability for growing families or multi-generational living.
A real highlight of the property is the wonderfully flat and expansive backyard, highlighted by a magnificent established tree that creates a natural centrepiece and a perfect setting for children, pets and outdoor entertaining. A garage is discreetly positioned for easy off-street parking, while the generous lawn and garden space take centre stage, offering exceptional outdoor amenity and future potential.
