Created in an era when homes were expressions of artistry as much as architecture, this meticulously preserved three bedroom Californian Bungalow is distinguished by exquisite period craftsmanship, generous proportions and a timeless presence, making it one of Gipsy Village’s enduring classics.
Adding a level of practicality rarely found, dual street frontages and secure rear access allowing parking to remain discreetly out of sight, so the original streetscape can be appreciated exactly as intended.
A captivating facade and veranda set the tone for an interior where heritage detail has been lovingly retained. The entrance hall reveals lofty ceilings adorned with intricate plasterwork, deep decorative cornices and stained-glass windows.
A peaceful retreat, the main bedroom occupies a private position at the front of the home, enjoying leafy outlooks through leadlight windows beneath a magnificent ornamental ceiling. All windows in bedrooms one and two, along with the front lounge room, are double-glazed for enhanced comfort and tranquillity. Across the hall, an elegant lounge room is equally impressive, with a box bay window framing the garden, a gas fireplace adding warmth, and breathtaking detailing continuing uninterrupted overhead.
Further along the hall, a second bedroom sits alongside a sleek bathroom before the home opens to a bright, well-appointed kitchen, where the ceilings remain a quiet reminder of the home’s origins.
Surrounded by walls of glazing, the living and dining room captures northern light and afternoon sunshine, while doors open onto a broad wraparound deck that steps down to an expansive lawn, creating an inviting setting for entertaining, family celebrations and relaxed moments outdoors.
Positioned off the living area, a third bedroom is accompanied by a second bathroom and laundry with outdoor access. Two Wi-Fi enabled Daikin split-system air-conditioning units enhance year-round comfort, while automatic gates from Queens Square provide access to a tandem carport and garage. Adding further appeal, the roof insulation has been upgraded with two layers of R3.5 insulation for improved thermal efficiency.
Gipsy Village Park at the end of the street, Sandringham Primary School just moments away, the cafes, shopping and train station of Sandringham Village within strolling distance, and the beach a leisurely walk from home complete an ideal setting for family life.
