Celebrating a glorious fusion of California Bungalow charm and modernist-inspired design, this architecturally renovated four-bedroom Caulfield South family home will captivate with its spacious, light-filled, and harmony-inducing living and entertaining spaces, cocooned in lush greenery in a prized, family-focussed pocket of Caulfield South.
Set behind automated gates and gorgeous established gardens, the single-level westerly-facing home's picture-perfect brick and stucco façade is rich in Bungalow charm. The property features a wide, shady verandah, perfect for enjoying afternoon drinks under the pink glow of light reflected by the stained glass bay windows. Inside the original features including Baltic pine flooring, high ceilings and ornate plasterwork are showcased in the front bedrooms, including the main bedroom, with walk-in robe and shower ensuite.
An award winning architectural design, the solidity-built addition is true to it's modernist core. It creates a genuine indoor/outdoor living experience surrounded by greenery, including a bamboo border and fern garden. Soaring ceilings and gliding panels of glass adorned with floaty sage-hued sheers enhance the enchanting effect. Polished concrete floors, exposed brickwork, graphic highlight windows and bespoke timber joinery add modern flair and functionality to the expansive open plan living space. With glass splashback windows, the central retro-inspired kitchen features stone benchtops, a Miele dishwasher, a convection oven and Smeg gas cooktop. There is an undercover alfresco zone beneath a cantilevered canopy held in place by a reclaimed pier post. Additional standout spaces include a newly carpeted and custom fitted loft space, reached by attic ladder, which is an ideal hangout for kids or teens, a clerestory lit bathroom with fern-garden views from the shower, and a fourth bedroom fitted out with a two-desk study.
The home, which naturally stays delightfully cool in summer and warm in winter, has central heating and cooling, as well as a wood fireplace in the formal living room. Additional features include an alarm system, video intercom, and a rare for the area double carport behind secure auto gates.
This leafy family-focussed neighbourhood, bordered by Landcox Park and Princes Park, is in the Gardenvale Primary School Zone and within easy reach of excellent private schools including Brighton Grammar and Caulfield Grammar. It's a short stroll to the Hawthorn Road city-bound tram, and a 15 minute walk to Gardenvale Road and Martin St Village's cafés and Gardenvale station.
