A truly remarkable achievement of period conversion and flawless architectural design, this impressive 5-bedroom plus 2-offices, 3.5-bathroom c1920s Californian Bungalow retains the beauty of its era, whilst skilfully unfolding with striking contemporary flair for the ultimate family experience. Set on 482sqm*, it expands to unexpected heights and depth, offering direct rear access to Edwards Park and sweeping rooftop city vistas, revealing a uniquely serene hideaway zoned for Albert Park College, and set within a short walk to Bay Street, the light rail and the beach.
A succession of high-end finishes and impeccable zoning showcases the elite level of quality once inside, opening to a series of living and entertainment areas over two exceptional levels. Natural timber floors, high ceilings and expanses of glass define the ground-floor proportions, moving directly from the central entry hall to a home office and sitting room (or potential fifth bedroom) to an open-plan living, dining and kitchen domain at the rear.
Premium appliances, including a wine fridge, twin Bosch ovens, induction cooktop and Westinghouse dishwasher, match the hosting scale of each adjoining space, finished with a custom hardwood bar for the host and a walk-in pantry. Oversized sliding doors and double-hung windows allow a passive, seamless flow to the al-fresco deck and low-maintenance north-facing garden, complemented by a panoramic roof terrace, with front-row views to the city skyline and tree-top neighbourhood outlooks.
Two additional living areas on the first floor are met with three robed bedrooms and two bathrooms (one bedroom with a private en-suite), plus a dedicated study area, whilst the ground-floor main bedroom merges the original leadlight of the home with a large walk-in robe and twin en-suite. Integrated storage is the hero of the home, including a bike shed/workshop to the rear and attic spaces, with additional features including two powder rooms, individually-zoned reverse-cycle heating/cooling, solar power, automated gates and off-street parking to Bridge Street and a remote double garage via ROW.
