Brimming with charm and ripe for transformation, ‘Kirksley’ is a classic Californian Bungalow offering a unique opportunity for the visionary renovator or homebuilder. Nestled on an impressive 806m² approx. allotment with a massive west-facing backyard, this much-loved three-bedroom weatherboard home invites a creative reinvention (STCA). Welcomed by a traditional garden framed by a striking magnolia tree, the home reveals timeless original features including high strapped ceilings, entrance foyer with double leadlight doors that lead to a gracious formal lounge and dining rooms. Two defined bedrooms and a cheerful blue-and-white bathroom evoke a sense of warmth and nostalgia that could be retained whereas the rear of the home presents a blank canvas—perfect for a contemporary extension that captures the natural elevation and makes full use of the expansive backyard. Imagine the possibilities: an alfresco entertaining space, a lush garden, or even a family-sized swimming pool. Additional features include a side drive to an automatic garage. Located in a prized pocket of Camberwell, just moments from Frog Hollow Reserve, Willison Station, the Anniversary Trail, and the vibrant Middle Camberwell Village. Surrounded by elite public and private schools, with easy access to trams, cafes, and supermarkets—this is a rare find in a tightly held locale. Bring your imagination and breathe new life into this timeless treasure.
