Positioned on the cusp of Mar Lodge, this beautifully renovated bungalow delivers a rare fusion of period charm and resort-style living in one of Essendon's most tightly held pockets.
Quick to captivate among one of its pocket’s premier streets, the home has been loved by the same family for decades, recently revamped to be entirely turnkey for its next chapter. Sash and leadlight windows, Baltic pine floors, and high, ornate ceilings headline the old-world features keeping character alive, while accommodation in three sizeable bedrooms, a fourth bedroom/office atop a spiral staircase, elegant bathroom, and powder room/second WC caters brilliantly for all stages of family life.
• ‘20s bungalow reimagined for today’s family
• Up to 4 bedrooms, smart bathroom, extra WC
• 2 living areas, towering ceiling, profuse storage
• Barbecue alfresco, private yard, heated pool/spa
• Steps to the village, parks, schools & city trams
Glancing at gardens through an oversized feature window, a versatile dining/living room neighbours an expansive family domain gifted scale and occasion by a soaring cathedral ceiling, all-day sun, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Enclosed by café blinds to be as usable in July as it is in January, the entertainer’s deck is a joy for family barbecues, evening drinks, and quiet mornings with a coffee in-hand. Lush greenery and a heated pool and spa bring a resort-style atmosphere to the completely private backyard, while other highlights range from abundant cupboard and attic storage to electric-gated parking for two, a well-equipped kitchen, plantation shutters, new carpets, a mudroom/laundry, water tank, ducted heating, evaporative cooling, and 10kW solar energy.
As convenient as could be, it’s no more than a short stroll to North Essendon Village shops and cafés, Lincoln Park farmers’ markets, lively Keilor Road, St Therese’s Primary, Buckley Park ovals, and the city-bound 59 Tram, while close to freeways, DFO, river trails, and elite secondary schools in Lowther Hall, PEGS, St Columba’s, St Bernard’s, and Ave Maria.
