Capturing all the charm and romance of the 1920s in a peaceful setting on the cusp of Glenferrie Road, this classical, solid brick and tile, California Bungalow merges an alluring sense of sunlit sanctuary with outstanding scope for a big and bright future (STCA). Offering a flexible three bedroom floor plan with two bathrooms (one an ensuite) and an easy-care front lawn and garden, the potential here extends from a simple cosmetic rejuvenation all the way to a landmark renovation and extension.
A broad and tiled veranda provides a welcoming entry to the home as it opens to a spacious entrance hall where Baltic Pine flooring is complemented by finely detailed ceilings and leadlight windows in both the large main bedroom and lounge. The home's heritage and future potential unite in a particularly functional kitchen / dining with stainless steel appliances, a walk-in pantry and semi-attached living that is warmed by a fireplace and offers excellent potential as a third bedroom, study or formal dining. Meanwhile, at the rear of the home, a sunroom / family room fills with morning sun and overlooks a rear courtyard that is effortless to maintain, while split system heating and air conditioning ensures year-round comfort.
Gated driveway parking for two vehicles is an added bonus in this dynamic location just metres from Swinburne University, a huge selection of local cafes, almost every conceivable international cuisine imaginable and some great bars, as well as plenty of shopping, the Lido Cinema, Hawthorn Aquatic Centre, trams and city-bound trains from Glenferrie Railway Station, while an elite selection of private schools are also within easy reach.
