In the heart of Strathmore's prestigious Golden Mile, this solid 1920s brick Californian Bungalow presents a rare opportunity to secure a substantial 843m² (approx) landholding with a wide 16.8 metre frontage and prized north facing rear garden. Becoming increasingly rare to purchase original homes in this location, the property combines timeless character with a thoughtful 1980s extension that added valuable family space and offers outstanding scope to further renovate, extend, or redevelop (STCA).
Behind its elegant façade, the home reveals four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a choice of generous living spaces including a formal lounge with decorative ceilings and an open plan family and dining area to the rear. The kitchen and bathrooms are neat and functional, while the sun drenched interior connects beautifully to a covered alfresco terrace overlooking the deep, private garden, ideal for entertaining or future transformation.
A long side driveway leads to a double garage and multiple storage or workshop rooms, highlighting the sense of space and practicality throughout. Retaining all the period hallmarks of its era, including leadlight windows, ornate plasterwork, and polished hardwood floors, this is a home ready to evolve into something truly special.
The location is exceptional. Within walking distance of Essendon North Village cafés and shops, you are moments from tram, DFO, and Woodlands Park.
The area is highly regarded for its outstanding education options, with a selection of quality local primary and secondary schools, along with respected independent colleges all nearby.
Families are also drawn to the area's strong community spirit, leafy streetscapes, and easy access to local parks, bike trails, and sporting facilities. Strathmore Station and CityLink are close by, providing convenient access to the CBD and airport.
A truly exceptional offering, combining rich character, generous land, and a blue chip Golden Mile address in an area where original homes of this calibre are becoming increasingly rare.
