Cherished for decades, this character-filled two bedroom Californian Bungalow rests on a substantial north-facing 527m² approx. parcel, offering significant opportunity to enjoy its prized inner-north address by thoughtfully updating or building anew (STCA). Extending an invitation to imagine the next chapter, the single-level home incorporates a flexible layout, with an open family domain connecting to the retro kitchen/meals equipped with gas cooking appliances, a dishwasher, double sink and ample cabinetry. Outside, an enclosed deck overlooks the pet-friendly backyard, featuring raised garden beds, a dedicated workshop, utility shed and a versatile undercover area ideal for entertaining throughout the year. There is also a remote-controlled double garage plus additional driveway off-street parking. Further highlights include heat/cooling, a modern bathroom with separate WC, master built-in robes, an internal laundry and solar power. Less than 10km to the iconic CBD and zoned for popular Thornbury High and Penders Grove Primary, it's just moments to Station Street eateries, Hayes Park, trains, Preston South shops and High Street's vibrant cultural experience.
