Settled within a leafy cul-de-sac directly adjoining Ripponlea Estate, this captivating c1920s Californian Bungalow has been extended by a celebrated architectural vision that draws the outside in at every turn. The tree-house aesthetic of the upper level places the canopy at eye level, with northern light pouring through double-glazed windows across hardwood floors and into four oversized bedrooms and three bathrooms spanning two sun-drenched levels.
The period character of the original architecture is honoured throughout, yet the home reads as something entirely its own, brilliantly reimagined behind its established timber-clad facade. Vast open-plan living and dining areas wrap the unique floor plan, connecting seamlessly to decked entertaining spaces framed by towering trees, and a choice of productive vegetation, including citrus and stone fruit trees. The kitchen is appointed with a Bertazzoni 900mm range stove, a Bosch dishwasher, stainless steel benchtops, a reclaimed timber breakfast bench, and a deep, fitted walk-in pantry, catering to family needs and grand-scale entertainment, whether dining outside amid nature or inside in the cooler months.
Perfectly zoned and incredibly generous in size, two large downstairs bedrooms retain beautiful period proportions, one with a walk-in robe and side garden access, each sharing a beautifully designed bathroom with a deep soaking bath. Upstairs, two further king-sized bedrooms each enjoy split-system air-conditioning and ceiling fans, and are served by a striking bathroom with a bespoke floating vanity and terrazzo floor tiling, enjoying a study/sitting area which overlooks the endless greenery of the tree-tops.
Natives planted to mirror the botanical surrounds of the neighbouring estate create remarkable privacy and raw beauty, whilst high-end contemporary finishes include hydronic heating, a rainwater tank, security gate entry, a store/work room, a dedicated laundry, and a third bathroom. A genuine hidden escape, it offers complete serenity within a vibrant lifestyle position, where Elsternwick's shops, cafes and train station, Elwood Beach, multiple tram routes, Elsternwick Park and elite schools are all within walking distance.
