This magnificent 1930s Californian Art Deco home has been meticulously remodelled and extended to suit modern family living, while maintaining its period palette. A beautifully presented 4-bedroom home boasting two kitchens and two bathrooms, ultimate 'man-cave' including a self-contained bungalow and loads of storage, undercover above-ground spa and swim jet pool, and a top central location where you can walk everywhere. The home's features are many, starting with the full-size kitchen lined with period Subway tiles and custom-built cabinetry with soft-close drawers and a European brand oven. At the rear of the home is a massive lounge / dining room complete with separate kitchenette with European dish drawer-washer and double-fronted under-counter fridge. An internal rumpus room flaunts original dado panelling and plate rails, which complement the Art Deco leadlight double front doors with wrought-metal screen doors, internal double French doors, and three wooden Art Deco chandeliers (all original pieces). The master bedroom has a spacious walk-in robe with hanging space, drawers and shelves, while another bedroom also boasts a similar WIR. Every detail was considered during the renovation and extension - reproduction Bakelite switch and plug covers, reproduction Art Deco ceiling panels and cornice to match the originals (each room contains a different set of panel and cornice, and all feature a daisy motif), and doorframes and skirting boards all carefully copied and reproduced from the originals. No expense was spared with the period detail lighting fixtures, additional Murray Pine floorboards, and craftsman-made dado panels in the rumpus room. Then there is the modern - ducted heating and refrigerated cooling is zoned throughout to complement a large wood heater with period glazed tile hearth, two updated bathrooms (one with large walk-in shower and bath), 10kW solar panels (8kW inverter), and a double garage with twin doors and a massive carport with remote rollerdoor. The jewel in the crown is the spacious self-contained bungalow, or 'Manland', featuring plumbed kitchenette, shower and toilet, and split system AC, perfect for guests or teenagers. Surrounding the home are low-maintenance lawns and a cottage garden featuring established roses and fruit trees serviced by a working bore and watering system, all on a quarter-acre block and close to the CBD, Coles & schools.
