• An early Bungalow with a chic renovation promising easy-care, family-friendly luxury
• Three large bedrooms, two elegant bathrooms, excellent storage and ornate features

A picture of period elegance, this inter-war classic pairs classical charm with contemporary ease, perfect for a family to live luxuriously long into the future and indulge in the Kingsville lifestyle.
Emboldened by corner placement, a broad verandah, era-typical leadlight and lush gardens form a street stance that’s as alluring today as on the day the Bungalow was built.
Various comforts work alongside Baltic pine floors and high, ornate ceilings to blend the best of old and new, with a function-minded floor plan smartly distinguishing accommodation from entertaining. Highlighting the home’s impressive proportions, sizeable second and third bedrooms are well-served by a luxe central bathroom with a fluted-glass shower screen and standalone soaker bath, while box-bay-window workspace joins built-in blackbutt side tables, an ornamental fireplace and elegant ensuite with terrazzo-look tiles and a blackbutt vanity in serving a magnificent master.
Pine becomes hardwood to mark movement to modern, with a sensational main section a haven for unwinding in peace and hosting the largest gatherings. Augmented by clever touches in fitted timber shelving, chic light fixtures and a custom banquette dining area, the sun-dappled space seamlessly flows into an outdoor domain hitting its stride when guests arrive.
A decked alfresco is just as brilliant for a family barbecue as it is chatting away with friends on a summer evening, while in a gourmet kitchen, striking stone benches and mosaic tiles take the fore among an integrated fridge/freezer and dishwasher, a feature oven, induction cooktop and bespoke, shaker-style cabinetry.
With a secure carport optimising wide rear lane frontage, a long list of further highlights includes hydronic heating, split-system heating/cooling, excellent robe space, a retractable alfresco awning and full-size laundry accessing vast and versatile attic areas.
