Framed by a charming white picket fence and an inviting front verandah, this beautifully restored California Bungalow immediately captures the heart. A classic weatherboard and red brick façade, heritage sash windows and timeless period detailing create a striking first impression, while inside the home unfolds with a warmth and character that is simply breathtaking.
Double doors welcome you into a traditional hallway where the elegance of the original home is proudly on display - ceiling roses, decorative cornices and carefully preserved period features speak to the craftsmanship of another era. The generous master bedroom sits peacefully at the front with built-in robes, while across the hall a flexible formal living room or fourth bedroom offers versatility for growing families or those working from home. Two additional bedrooms with built-in robes are thoughtfully positioned along the hallway, all softened by plush grey speckled loop pile carpet, and are serviced by a beautifully finished central bathroom featuring floor-to-ceiling stone-look tiles, black tapware, a mirrored medicine cabinet and a stone vanity.
Towards the rear, the home opens into a light-filled living and dining domain designed for modern family life. At its centre, the kitchen makes a confident design statement with striking fern green cabinetry - a colour choice that feels both sophisticated and refreshing, drawing inspiration from the surrounding garden. Oak overhead cabinetry, a veined stone benchtop and splashback, breakfast bar and quality appliances combine to create a space that is as functional as it is beautiful.
Sliding glass doors connect the indoors with a generous decked entertaining area, perfect for long lunches, summer evenings and relaxed gatherings with family and friends. Beyond, the backyard is immaculate and low maintenance, offering a private green outlook along with a versatile studio at the rear - ideal as a home office or creative retreat.
Practicality is just as impressive. An exposed aggregate driveway runs the full length of the block behind a remote-controlled sliding gate and roller door, providing secure off-street parking and the flexibility to accommodate additional vehicles, a boat or caravan.
Additional highlights include engineered oak flooring, a well-appointed laundry and powder room featuring elegant finger tiles and a stone benchtop, Panasonic ducted refrigerated heating and cooling with Wi-Fi control, and quality Electrolux appliances including an electric oven, gas cooktop and dishwasher.
Perfectly positioned in a leafy, community-focused pocket, the home sits moments from Beaton Reserve, the Yarraville football oval and public tennis courts, while the cafés, restaurants and village charm of Yarraville are just a short stroll away. Yarraville Square shopping precinct, the train station and the iconic Sun Theatre are all within easy walking distance, with convenient freeway access and bike trails adding further lifestyle appeal. Families will also appreciate zoning for Yarraville West Primary School.
Beautifully restored, rich in character and designed for the way families live today, this is a home that feels special from the very first moment.
