Evocative and enduring, this grand California Bungalow, said to be one of Croydon's oldest, presents an immense opportunity to claim a treasured piece of the area's rich history. A showcase of timeless character, it overflows with heart and soul in a prime location.
Set back behind automatic gates, the incredibly private residence, fronted by a magnificent entrance, makes an unforgettable impression. Double brick construction, leadlight-adorned bay windows, a timber-panelled entry and 10-foot ornate ceilings all speak to its early 20th-century pedigree, while a sympathetic renovation has expanded its footprint to suit the needs of a growing family.
Inside, a graceful sequence of spaces unfolds across one level: formal lounge and dining rooms divided by French doors, a sitting area and a sun-soaked conservatory with reflective film. At the heart of the home, a timber kitchen stands with pride, appointed with stainless steel appliances, granite benchtops and abundant storage. It overlooks an expansive family and meals area that flows through French doors to a covered alfresco deck.
Four spacious bedrooms invite restful sleep. The privately winged master suite features a picturesque garden window, a walk-in wardrobe and a luxurious spa ensuite, while the remaining bedrooms share a family bathroom.
Replete with a list of quality inclusions, this stately old-world beauty is sure to captivate from the very first inspection.
