This charming 1930s Californian solid brick bungalow set amidst established gardens, offers enduring character, generous family accommodation on a substantial allotment of 702sqm (approx.) around the corner from Hughesdale Village.
A leadlight entrance opens to a wide hallway with polished hardwood floors, high ceilings and picture rails. The formal living and dining rooms keep the elegance of the era, with ornate ceilings and a modern Cheminées Philippe cast-iron open fireplace.
At the rear, the light-filled, architecturally designed extension flows into an open-plan family zone that blends seamlessly with the home’s original character. The timber kitchen with a central island and quality cabinetry has a Smeg double oven, a 900mm Smeg cooktop and a Bosch stainless steel dishwasher.
There are four generous bedrooms, three with built-in robes and two with leadlight windows overlooking the front garden. A large period-style bathroom, a separate powder room, and a spacious laundry with storage cupboards and rear access complete the layout.
Outside, the north-facing rear garden is made for relaxed family living, with a covered patio for entertaining, a lawn, a cubby house, a vegetable garden and leafy greenery all around. Ducted heating and split-system air conditioning keep the home comfortable year-round, while 6.6kW solar panels with a 5-kW inverter help keep running costs down. A drive-through garage and long driveway provide 2 car spaces plus additional off-street parking.
The location puts you near Hughesdale Village’s cafes and shops and 5-minute walk from Hughesdale Station. Boyd Park and Oakleigh Grammar School are 5-minutes away, Chadstone Shopping Centre is a short drive, and the home is in the zone for Oakleigh Primary School and South Oakleigh Secondary College.
