Welcomed by the expansive entrance lobby, a long hall leads down the centre of the home, introducing an elegant living overlooking the leafy landscaped front garden oasis, sprawling separate dining room, palatial main bedroom, two further bedrooms and a luxurious central bathroom with floor to ceiling marble tiles and stunning oversized shower.
A versatile fourth bedroom/home office or sitting room is positioned at the rear and the separate kitchen with casual meals area has been upgraded with premium Miele/AEG/Liebherr appliances and features a butler’s pantry.
Additional attributes include hydronic heating throughout, multiple split system air-conditioning units, laundry facilities, automatic watering system, secure intercom entrance with remote controlled gates, extensive off-street parking plus garage.
Offering tremendous potential for renovation and expansion, this classic Californian Bungalow is situated in the esteemed Dorrington Estate.
