7 Lorraine Avenue MANNINGHAM

A rare find indeed is this 1930’s art deco bungalow with many of its original features preserved. The stands as proud as it was when built with splash rendered walls and feature glazed brick inserts. From the street follow the slate paved driveway and surrounds to the terrazzo verandah and you soon realise this is the real deal. Enter the home through the ample entrance foyer where the original frosted glass double doors lead to the living and dining rooms, both with original ceiling designs and deco elements. Bedroom 1 also has its ceilings preserved and like all the other main rooms the original doors and handles are a pleasant feature. The main bathroom has a terrazzo floor and its original tiles, a renewed toilet and vanity make it comfortably functional. The surprise is in the laundry where a modern shower alcove and vanity turn a utility room into a 2nd bathroom. There is also a second toilet. There are two other bedrooms (or a bedroom and a study), a handy sized lobby area and a upgraded functional eat-in kitchen that has plenty of space for the growing family. Features include: * Solid brick build throughout * Original art deco light fittings * Reverse cycle split a/c to second bedroom and dining room * Ceiling fan to bedroom 1 * Original art deco fire surround to living room * 2 linen cupboards * Large block with 13m deep backyard Well situated in the high growth suburb of Manningham. Be sure to inspect this classic beauty.
