An exciting opportunity to secure a stunning bungalow residence in one of the western suburbs most prestigious tree lined avenues. In an inner-west sweet spot that puts both the city and the sea within easy reach, 17 Malurus Avenue is essential viewing for buyers with mid-to large-sized families - a classic sandstone-fronted bungalow with a modern rear extension that's transformed it into a 4-bedroom sanctuary where many happy memories can be created through the schooling years and well beyond.
Built in 1934, the original bungalow is as majestic as you could wish for - double-fronted with a shady front verandah, nestled behind a grassy yard dotted with rose beds. This section houses an adjoining formal lounge and dining room, the master bedroom (with ensuite), a guest bed and study - and you can check off the 'must-haves' in minutes: polished pine floorboards, soaring ceiling heights with decorative detailing, sash windows, open fireplaces with mantlepieces, timber fretwork, and ornate ceiling roses.
The study is the transition point between the bungalow and the new build, stepping down into a spacious, all-in-one kitchen/family living/meals hub with timber floors that continue through a 2-bed kids' wing. While the culinary hub is contemporary all the way - sporting mirrored splashbacks and a suite of premium stainless-steel appliances - the use of geometric tiling in the family bathroom and laundry is a nostalgic nod to the past.
As big as the residence is, this substantial 836 sqm (approx.) can still incorporate a big backyard and this one packs a punch. French Doors from the rear living area open onto a tessellated tiled verandah with an adjoining gable-roofed outdoor entertaining patio. While you feast with friends under its twinkling festoon lights, the kids can be splashing about in the pool or playing on the back lawn!
This dream home comes with a leisure-lovers' location too. As well as its proximity to the beach, there's a golf course and council-managed playground nearby, and Linear Park's just a short walk north. All this plus handy bus connections all over town from nearby Henley Beach Road.
