Tasteful updates, preserved character, and rich history come together in this one-of-a-kind Californian Bungalow, offering a family instant comfort, scope to personalise, and limitless lifestyle appeal in a prestigious Aberfeldie setting.
With details typical of Arts & Crafts, Queen Anne, and broader Edwardian styles from the generation prior, the early '20s home makes a memorable first impression. A horseshoe driveway and tuckpointed façade prelude an interior blending classic and contemporary, with original intricacies in high, ornate ceilings, sash and leadlight windows, fireplaces, Baltic pine floors, and a grand, central archway furthering heritage charm. Three substantial bedrooms are accompanied by excellent storage, a main-room ensuite, and smart back bathroom, while broad front living, rear family, and open dining zones weave outstanding flexibility into daily life.
Set well-back from the street to enjoy leafy quiet and all-day sun, a considerable backyard proves exceptional for blue-sky barbecues, lounging among greenery, and kids wanting to burn off their energy, while the abode's other highlights include a large garage/workshop, full-size laundry, plantation shutters, ILVE and Miele kitchen appliances, and parking for several cars off-street. Central to the best of both Aberfeldie and Essendon, it's just moments to cafés and restaurants, boutique shops, elite private schools, transport options, and the idyllic Maribyrnong River.
