Impressively set within private established gardens on 617sqm*, this captivating solid-brick 1920s Californian bungalow has been superbly maintained and extended to create a truly memorable family setting, with generous interiors opening to secluded poolside gardens and a sensational self-contained guest house. Rich in period character yet entirely attuned to contemporary living, it occupies a peaceful tree-lined cul-de-sac within walking distance of Bay Street, North Brighton station and leading schools.
Original timber floors, exquisite diamond leadlight, ornate ceilings, and open fireplaces distinguish the generous interior, beginning with a delightful front bedroom featuring a box-bay window and a second bedroom with a walk-in robe and an ensuite. The elegant formal dining room with an OFP opens through double doors to an inviting fireside family room as the floor plan extends into an open-plan domain oriented to the pool. Equipped with stone benchtops, excellent storage, and stainless-steel European appliances, the kitchen is complemented by a broad bay-windowed dining area that opens directly onto the deck, lush greenery, and solar-heated pool, perfect for year-round entertainment and leisure. Two additional bedrooms with built-in robes and fitted desks are located on the upper level, alongside a central bathroom, whilst the guest house offers outstanding versatility, delivering a completely self-contained setting with independent side access, incorporating a living room, kitchenette, bathroom and a light-filled upper bedroom with a Juliette balcony above the pool.
Beautifully appointed with ducted heating, split-system heating and cooling, a cellar, laundry with powder room, extensive storage inside and out, a workshop, garden irrigation, water tank, and plenty of off-street parking beyond gated access, it offers an exceptionally warm and inviting Bayside lifestyle, close to the cinema, transport, leading schools and Brighton Beach.
