This classic Californian Bungalow is sitting pretty in one of the city’s best locations. Opposite the family-friendly Wolstencroft Reserve, and just a block from the Back Creek walking path, it boasts an A1 position from every angle. The house has undergone a full and professional renovation, which blessedly makes the most of its beautiful pre-war features. Just look at that façade; a classic front porch with ornate columns, original windows with leadlight glass, and the type of front door that begs to be opened… Step inside to a wide entrance hall and high ceilings. The first of two living rooms is to the left, with an ambient gas flame fire set into the mantlepiece. An art deco ceiling rose and those gorgeous windows characterise the space. Beyond is a semi-open family and dining room, ensuring contemporary living despite the home’s vintage. There are three lovely, soft bedrooms; two with built-in-robes and a third with double French doors opening to the garden. Two designer bathrooms also cater for everyone; one features a wide frameless shower, the other a shower over the bath. Both have toilets and floating vanities. The kitchen is likewise right up-to-the minute, whilst remaining sympathetic to the home’s vintage integrity. It has a stone benchtop, dual wall ovens, gas cooktop, dishwasher and pantry cupboard. A glass feature cabinet and raked timber-lined ceiling brings yet more charm. Outside, every inch of the garden is lush and manicured, with box hedging, red brick paving, perfect lawns and lovely old shade trees. There’s a brick paved patio for outdoor entertaining, and a single Colorbond garage with roller door, accessed off the side street. The corner block also allows for rear yard parking through an electric side gate.
