THE DEAL Completely reworked while true to its roots, this 768m2 (approx.) bungalow encapsulates everything Essendon foliage, heritage, community, lifestyle. The perfect family forever-home. The street is one of Essendon's best. The façade is as charming as it gets. Function separates it from the rest. Floors and fireplaces, fretwork and wall panelling, leadlight and bay windows - Detail astonishes, character thrives and originality remains.

Canopies of green for privacy, a Weeping Myrtle, fire pit area and a trickling water feature add to the atmosphere perfect for a pause and recharge. Living on one level is made easy by two downstairs bedrooms (one doubling as a study), plenty of robe space, a modern bathroom with twin basins and a bathtub and ensuite in a superb master.
