THE DEAL
Enlivened with a first-class renovation while remaining true to its inherent character, this transformed Californian Bungalow in the sought-after Strathmore Secondary College zone leaves no stone unturned pursuing family luxury to last the test of time.
As picture-perfect as could be with its picket fence, established trees, and classic inter-war façade, the remarkable home fuses style, substance, and smarts, with an array of modern luxuries complementing old-world intricacies. With a palette of dark engineered timber floors, pale walls and ceilings, and swathes of Super White Dolomite, a superb interior centres around broad living, dining, and kitchen areas; the latter equipped with a waterfall island, profuse soft-close cabinetry, window splashbacks, and upscale Bosch appliances in a 900mm oven, gas stove, and integrated dishwasher.
Bi-fold doors merge inside and out brilliantly come time to entertain, with an outdoor kitchen, decked alfresco, built-in bench seat, and streams of all-day sun enlivening barbecues surrounded by friends and family. Featuring its own twin-basin ensuite, a sizeable master is joined by a pair of additional bedrooms and skylit main bathroom boasting a standalone soaker tub, while other highlights of the home include heating/cooling, full-height mirrored robes to all bedrooms, substantial attic space, sheer curtains, 100% wool carpets, soundproof plaster and insultation, CCTV, an alarm, full-size laundry with Dolomite benchtop, living-room gas fire, secure driveway parking for two (via Heliopolis Street), and a pairing of lock-up garage and extra driveway space accessed via Bell Street.
Endlessly convenient, it's only moments to Sydney Road, Essendon, and Strathmore buses, acclaimed schools, numerous parks, walking trails, sporting clubs, shopping/lifestyle strips, supermarkets, and CityLink for quick CBD access.
