A generational family residence ready to be enjoyed in a coveted family location, this timelessly rejuvenated, solid brick, California Bungalow presents a brilliant synthesis of grand period proportions and rich original character on an elevated parcel of 947 square metres (approx.) with sweeping views of the Glen Iris valley. Rising proudly above the street and revealing all the beautifully preserved hallmarks of its circa-1923 origins, the home offers four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a study, an independent studio and exciting scope for further renewal or extension (all STCA).
Introduced by an embracing front veranda that captures northern sun and offers the perfect setting for an evening drink, the home opens to reveal soaring ceilings, exquisite leadlight windows and polished timber floors. A broad entrance hall steps through to traditional lounge and dining rooms each with bay windows and fireplaces as well as a big contemporary kitchen with subway-tiling, stone benches, Bosch cooking and a clever sunroom / study.
The bedrooms are each impressively sized in the style of grand period homes three with built-in robes whilst the main bathroom is family-sized with a separate wc. Outside, attached to a second bathroom / laundry, the home also features a studio with fifth bedroom potential to suit a growing family or multigenerational living, plus there is a securely gated carport with secure driveway parking for another four vehicles and open driveway parking for two more, as well as ducted heating and split system air conditioning.
This is a premier position near thriving local cafes and superb parkland at Hedgeley Dene and Central Park, as well as city-bound trams and trains from Glen Iris Railway Station that also offer easy access to a diversity of Melbourne's finest private schools.
