It is our pleasure to present this charming and impressive home to the market for the first time in over 30 years. This cherished family home holds a lifetime of memories for its proud owners. The original home is circa 1925 and will show you an exciting lesson in how to elevate an original bungalow into something quite spectacular. Meticulously renovated in 2020, along with an extension that was expertly designed and perfectly executed. This amazing home is a mixture of style and functionality. Quality fixtures and fittings have been carefully and thoughtfully selected throughout. With delightful street presence this home is neatly nestled amongst other character homes in arguably one of Clarence Park's most tightly held streets. Where properties have been passed down through families without ever hitting the market. A sought after no through road position, family friendly and allows the freedoms of bygone years. Offering a flexible floorplan depending on your needs, comprising of 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms with a fabulous open plan kitchen and family room. Ornate ceilings and decorative cornices are a beautiful feature of the original bungalow. The elegant master suite is private and serene, new carpets were added to all the bedrooms in 2020, with recent additions of white sheer curtains. Exquisite ceiling details and a charming fireplace grace the main bedroom giving that romantic ambience to the room. This bedroom is unique with its custom-made cabinetry, cleverly concealing the ensuite and walk in robe. Neutral tones were chosen for the modern ensuite with contemporary tiling and under floor heating. The custom-built walk-in robe offers ample storage including a glass top jewellery drawer. The remaining bedrooms all continue with the charcoal tone carpets, with bedroom 2 offering a built-in robe. The 3rd bedroomed is complete with a slow combustion heater - this room could easily be used as a second lounge/living room due to its generous size. All bedrooms boast ceiling fans. The main bathroom is stunning with an inviting free-standing bath, the contrasting black and white tiles are a standout design statement. Warm tones have been added with the inclusion of natural wood cabinetry. Under floor heating and a heated towel rail are welcomed additions in the main bathroom. Now to the true WOW factor of the home- where the old meets the new. This home easily transitions between the timeless original home and the tasteful architectural open-plan addition. The lofty 3 metre ceilings have been continued to the new to preserve the charm and character. Spectacular polished concrete floors flow throughout the extension, easy care and a true statement in style and elegance. Incorporating some of the original bricks the owners have created a unique feature wall straight out of the pages of Vogue. The chic kitchen offers so many features, it will inspire the chef in us all. Expansive stone bench tops with smoked glass splash back and contrasting toned upper cabinetry. High quality Neff appliances including double ovens, induction cook top with under bench venting.

Large picture windows allowing loads of natural light to flood in, with and ceiling fan high louvre windows to the south for cooling breezes. Built in speakers to the lounge area (7.1 ch surround system) that system has been continued into the outside area again with built in speakers for an amazing audio experience. What incredible parties you could host by inviting the outside in via sliding back the commercial grade doors with full screen and clever cavity return, creating an impressive 4 metre opening and pavilion style ambience.
