Overview

Period charm, family scale, Thornbury edge

Held by the same family for almost 30 years, this rare brick Californian Bungalow dating back to circa 1927 offers a sense of history that's increasingly hard to find. Set right on the Thornbury border in a leafy street, it's an easy stroll to Plenty Road trams and a rich mix of neighbourhood bars and eateries, all part of daily life in this much-loved pocket. Beautifully renovated and extended, the home delivers generous family accommodation, with a central hallway revealing lofty ceilings and light-filled spaces throughout. Timeless period charm has been carefully retained, with four large bedrooms set off the hallway, two featuring open fireplaces, alongside a central family bathroom with a separate clawfoot bath and granite benchtop. Open plan at the rear, an impressive timber kitchen offers ample storage and a breakfast bar, flowing into an expansive dining and living zone that extends seamlessly to an undercover entertainers' deck and a low-maintenance garden.  Additional highlights include a self-contained studio with, second kitchen, bathroom and split system heating and cooling, a remote garage, and a remote undercover double carport with generous storage. There is also a guest powder room, a large separate laundry with additional storage, heating and cooling throughout, and an alarm system.  Close to trams, Bell Station, local shops, cafes, schools, High Street and Preston Market.
