Set on a wonderfully wide block (approx 809sqm) in one of Essendon's premier pockets, this Californian Bungalow has been enjoyed by the one family for nearly 60 years and now offers an outstanding opportunity for those looking to renovate or renew (STCA). Excellent presentation from beginning to end, the home's previously expanded interior comprises four bedrooms (three extra-large) all serviced by a neat central bathroom and additional powder room (second WC). Add to this an elegant front lounge and light-filled open living/dining area to the rear adjoined by a functional kitchen complete with 900mm stainless steel cooker. Impressively high ceilings add to the appeal, along with ducted heating, gas-log fireplace (living area), versatile study/sewing room and excellent storage options. Step outside to truly appreciate the block's dream dimensions where you'll find a big backyard with an orchard of fruit trees, plus a large workshop, adjoining storeroom, access to the rear ROW and lock-up garage via side driveway. A privileged position with the Essendon's key attractions at your fingertips including Clarinda Park, Essendon Station, Rose Street eateries and the area's elite private schools, it's also close to a choice of bus routes and Moonee Ponds' renowned retail precinct.
