Some homes give you plenty to work with. This one gives you 741sqm of it (approx.). Behind its handsome red-brick façade and wraparound front porch, this Californian Bungalow pairs original period detail with stylish modern updates, then rolls out into an enormous backyard. Move straight in and enjoy what’s already been done, add your own touches, extend over time or think bigger with the land (STCA).
Inside, the character is the real thing. Polished timber floors run underfoot, decorative ceilings and leadlight windows catch the eye, and the rooms have the kind of generous proportions that newer homes rarely deliver. The living and dining room has a wonderful sense of openness, with a renovated kitchen alongside. Stone benchtops, a substantial breakfast bar, excellent storage, a gas cooktop, stainless-steel oven and Miele dishwasher take care of cooking and entertaining, while two windows above the sink look out to the garden.
Three spacious bedrooms with built-in robes share a contemporary bathroom. A separate study opens directly onto the rear garden, a huge sweep of lawn with room to kick a football, put in a pool or dream up something entirely different. There’s a refurbished laundry, second toilet, split-system air conditioning, carport and off-street parking too.
Glen Huntly Village, Woolworths, trains and trams are all nearby, as are Booran Reserve, Princes Park, Caulfield Racecourse, Caulfield South Primary School and Glen Eira College.
A family home that’s ready now, on a block that won’t run out of ideas.
