Lovingly cared for throughout its life, this beautifully preserved Circa 1920s Californian bungalow showcases timeless craftsmanship, solid construction, and abundant charm. Built with enduring quality, this double-brick residence sits proudly across two lots (each approximately 999.1 sqm), totalling an impressive 1,998.2 sqm with an approximate 36-metre frontage.
The home's character is immediately apparent, featuring 9-foot ornamental ceilings, decorative cornices, and elegant stained-glass windows that bathe the interiors in natural light and colour.

The spacious living room serves as the heart of the home, flowing into a bright sunroom ideal for relaxation or quiet reading. Adjacent is a generous dining room, perfect for family gatherings and entertaining.
