Nestled behind picket fencing and glorious gardens is a charming return verandah bungalow that has been beautifully renovated and seamlessly extended, combining a perfect blend of period character features and contemporary chic.
Character features reflective of the era include a gracious entrance hallway, polished Baltic Pine floorboards, high ceilings, picture rails, French doors, ceiling roses and an ornate open fireplace. There are three incredibly large bedrooms, all of which have a lovely outlook to the gardens. The original bathroom has been newly renovated in a style which complements the character of the original house.
A gracious formal lounge with slow combustion heating opens to the spacious dining which overlooks the impressive extension bathed in natural light. The new build incorporates polished concrete floors, stunning kitchen, casual meals, laundry and large master bedroom with generous ensuite.
The kitchen forms the hub of the home and will delight those who love to entertain all year round and has a lovely green garden aspect. Complete with central island with stone benchtops, striking black glass splashbacks, Blanco stainless steel gas hotplates, wall oven, Miele dishwasher and walk-in pantry. There is a divine laundry with a copious amount of storage. The spacious master bedroom features soaring ceilings and built-in robes and has a luxurious ensuite fully tiled to the ceiling with claw foot bath, twin vanity, huge frameless glass shower and hideaway WC.
Step outdoors via bi-fold cafe doors or sliding doors from the master suite and enjoy the northerly aspect, onto extensive raised decking under vines encompassed by luscious lawn and garden beds that offer the ultimate in sun-soaked privacy.
The location simply could not be any better than this with a five-minute walk to the West Croydon train station (three stops from the city) and a few minutes further to the artisan shops and culture cafe on the hip Queen Street precinct. Just a ten-minute drive into the city - even less by train. While in the opposite direction, the sea is a similar distance away.
