Are you ready to downsize from the family home to something more manageable? Do you worry downsizing means down-styling?
Put those fears aside - the total rebuild of this California Bungalow beautifully balances charm with contemporary style and everyday liveability in an enviable city-edge neighbourhood.
Set behind a traditional picket fence incorporating an automated driveway gate, the circa 1940 home has been beautifully reimagined from top to bottom. New white weatherboards, complemented by the restored front verandah, original front door, and leadlight-glazed front windows, offers timeless street appeal while evoking the popular period style.
Inside, you will find all-new plasterwork with decorative cornices and panels to the 10ft ceilings and meticulously sanded hardwood floors. The central hallway leads to the main and second bedrooms (BIRs) and an all-new modern bathroom with a 900mm shower, wall-mounted vanity unit and a back-to-wall bathtub.
Turn the corner to the standout kitchen and adaptable living/dining space. The kitchen features a marble-topped island under designer pendant lighting. Sleek matte black cabinetry with Tasmanian oak detailing includes a corner pantry, ample pot drawers, an integrated dishwasher and a marble splashback to the 900mm dual-fuel stainless steel range.
A wood heater provides a focal point in the adjacent living area. It's perfect for cosy winter nights or as a summer dining area. The large second living/dining area is where feasts and friendships will flow through French doors to a sun-drenched alfresco deck for full-scale summer entertaining. The second bathroom, third bedroom or study, a powder room and a Euro-style laundry complete the interior.
Finer details include ducted recycled heating/cooling, quality carpets and sheer drapes in bedrooms, timber floors throughout living and traffic areas.
Enhanced by low-maintenance landscaping, the approx 601m² lot features a paved driveway to a single garage/workshop and a sweet little paved courtyard-style nook to the side is the perfect setting for a morning cuppa.
Beyond the home, the lifestyle on offer is equally appealing. Positioned opposite the Back Creek walking/cycling path to Lake Weeroona and within walking distance to CBD cafés, restaurants, the train station, everyday amenities, and the Ewing Park Recreation precinct, this gem of a home offers a lifestyle of convenience with the comfort of a low-maintenance, virtually new home.
