A treasure trove of opportunity, this time honoured three bedroom tuckpointed brick Californian Bungalow is the start of something special. Be inspired by its high strapped ceilings, spacious proportions and curved mantel to reinvent this century old classic with today's finesse. Sitting on 604 m2 approx. with a north facing rear garden, this cherished charmer enjoys a central hallway, traditional sitting and dining rooms, a cheery modern kitchen/meals area with 900mm LaGermania stove overlooking the delightful rear garden, three spacious bedrooms; one with robes and a huge family bathroom with vintage tiles and laundry alcove. The secure north facing rear garden has a central alfresco patio and citrus trees, showing the space for an extension or to improve the landscape. Updated with an exposed aggregate drive and parking bay, this desirable renovator has the comforts of a reverse cycle air conditioner, evaporative cooling, plenty of storage, garage with adjoining studio, carport and a classic freestanding shed. In the heart of Bentleigh between Centre Road's shopping precinct with Bentleigh station and Patterson Road's café culture with Patterson station, metres to OLSH College and St Paul's Primary School, walk to Bentleigh Rec Reserve, Bentleigh West Primary School and Brighton Secondary College.
