Modest Exterior Prefaces Luxury Executive Home Behind the unassuming façade of this renovated Californian Bungalow lies a property of rare beauty and refinement. A discreet street frontage belies a comprehensively reimagined home layered with considered amenity and seriously luxe, Scandinavian inspired design. The layout begins, not, as we’d expect, through the original front door, but rather a securely gated side entry and granite floored central mudroom dividing the private from the public. Bedrooms, bathrooms and versatile office spaces occupy the traditional front of the home, with a masterful main bedroom creating a true haven from the everyday. Light-filled and spacious, it features a massive dressing room and full-sized ensuite bathroom with cast-iron soaker tub and walk-in shower. A second bedroom (BIR’s) with built-in study desk, plus a home office and a media room, both containing BIR’s and bespoke Vitsoe shelving and equally suited to bedrooms, are serviced by a prestige family bathroom (stand-alone tub & shower). The sprawling open plan living/dining zone, purposely built to outlast the dictates of passing interior trends, delivers a serious design punch. Vast and sun-lit, the aesthetic speaks to clean lines peppered with elements of stand-out Danish décor; the sleek French made Gyrofocus fireplace, premium light fixtures, and accompanying woodpile shelving, providing an ambient focal point. Helming the space, a professional kitchen caters to the serious home chef. Graced with a titanic marble island and expansive butler’s pantry, it contains a plethora of integrated prestige Miele appliances including two dishwashers, 5-burner induction stove, wine fridge, full-sized fridge & freezer, microwave, and two wall ovens. Nailing the indoor-outdoor flow, a full-width slider extends the living space onto a generous bluestone entertainment terrace, with manicured landscaped garden outlook, while the original front verandah has been transformed into an artful sunroom retreat. With a list of bonus extras too exhaustive to list, this beguiling executive home genuinely needs to be experienced to fully appreciate, but note the 6-star energy rating, solar panels, a 20,000-litre water tank, four-car garage/workshop, additional driveway parking, masses of storage solutions (including internal storage room), huge, practical laundry, guest powder, plantation shutters, solid American Oak flooring, coordinated custom floor and wall tiling, hydronic heating, multiple split system air-conditioners and alarm system plus CCTV, just for starters. Situated walking distance to Lincoln Park and Essendon North Village, close to prestige schools (zoned for Buckley Park College and Essendon North Primary School), Essendon Station and Mt Alexander Road trams. A once-in-a-lifetime home owning opportunity with nothing more to do than move in and enjoy.
