Set on an exceptional 852sqm (approx.) parcel with a sun-drenched north-facing rear garden and pool, this classic California Bungalow is a distinguished family residence that beautifully balances timeless character with generous contemporary living. Rich in original period detail and thoughtfully extended, it offers five bedrooms, five bathrooms and three study areas plus multiple living and entertaining zones designed for growing families. Positioned in one of Kew's most prestigious tree-lined streets, just minutes from Kew Junction, Melbourne's leading private schools, Willsmere Village and parklands, this is a rare opportunity to secure a landmark family home in a blue-chip address.
For now, move straight in and enjoy its combination of early elegance and immaculate modern spaces in an impressively extended five-bedroom, five-bathroom layout that offers instant family appeal with multiple living areas, a series of zoned bedrooms including two principal suites, a modern kitchen with updated appliances, sunny poolside entertaining areas, a secure double carport and additional parking. Set behind a broad 18.3m garden frontage, a tuck-pointed red brick façade with traditional verandah and double entry creates a handsome introduction to the expansive proportions that follow. A wonderfully wide central hall links together light-filled formal living and dining with verandah access and open fireplace, three bedrooms with built-in robes, a bedroom/study with open fireplace and an attic-style main bedroom featuring a study/retreat and a fourth bedroom with robes, ensuite and kitchenette. At the rear, previously extended accommodation enjoys a sun-filled northern focus. Here, a large family kitchen updated with contemporary appliances, including a 900mm Smeg induction cooker, accompanies three expansive living rooms opening to paved poolside areas perfect for entertaining. Above these, a second main bedroom with walk-in robe is accompanied by a bathroom and generous second retreat with northern balcony.
Further highlights include two additional bathrooms, dedicated laundry, hydronic heating, multiple split cooling systems, solar panels, extensive built-in storage, high decorative ceilings and original doors, delicate timber fretwork, deep-silled windows and beautifully preserved original character.
