Offered to the market for the first time in over 40 years, this remarkable residence presents a rare opportunity to secure a substantial home rich in character, history and timeless appeal. Lovingly maintained by the same family for four decades, this historically significant Californian Bungalow was built between 1924 and 1928 for Brunswick Town Clerk Ralph McGregor-Dawson, whose name is etched into the foundation stone of the Brunswick Town Hall. Holding a coveted Level 2 Heritage listing, it is recognised as one of Moreland's most significant and substantial bungalow homes.
Beyond its commanding street presence and established gardens, the home showcases soaring ornate ceilings, Tasmanian oak floors, beautifully preserved Tasmanian oak woodwork, leadlight windows, decorative timber fretwork and striking original neo-Gothic raw granite fireplaces, most of which have never been used and already feature gas connections. Retaining its original floorplan, the expansive layout offers three oversized bedrooms, including a main with walk-in robe, a spacious central bathroom, and elegant formal living and dining rooms.
The spacious kitchen is appointed with a freestanding gas cooker, dishwasher and ample storage, flowing through to a wide undercover entertaining area and an expansive rear garden ideal for entertaining.
Set on an impressive approximately 937sqm allotment, the home also features multiple garages, a large laundry, established landscaped gardens, central heating and an abundance of beautifully preserved original period detail.
Perfectly positioned in one of Brunswick East's most sought-after pockets, you'll enjoy the very best of inner-city living just moments from the vibrant cafes and renowned restaurants of Lygon Street, the shopping and dining precinct of Sydney Road, CERES Community Environment Park, Merri Creek trails, Fleming Park, local schools and childcare facilities. Excellent public transport, including Nicholson Street and Lygon Street trams, nearby bus services and Brunswick Station, provides an effortless commute to Melbourne's CBD.
