Behind its storybook façade and rose-framed frontage, this enchanting circa-1930s California bungalow captures the romance of a bygone era while embracing modern life with ease. Positioned at the front of just two homes on a low-maintenance 364sqm (approx.) allotment, it’s a place where character lovers can exhale - knowing the hard work has already been done.
Step inside and you’re greeted by light and warmth in equal measure. High ceilings with original strapping lift the spaces beautifully, while picture rails, working sash windows and original doors with polished brass handles quietly remind you of the craftsmanship of another time. Hybrid timber floors carry you through the home, softened by plush modern carpets where comfort matters most.
The lounge is a cosy retreat, anchored by an ornate original fireplace now hosting a gas log fire - the kind that makes winter evenings feel a little more special. From here, the home flows naturally into the meals zone and kitchen, where old-world charm gives way to smart functionality. Stainless-steel appliances, an induction cooktop, electric oven, Bosch dishwasher and farmhouse sink make everyday cooking (and entertaining) a pleasure rather than a chore.
Two generous bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned, with a beautifully renovated, fully tiled bathroom cleverly designed with a two-way layout for an ensuite-style connection to the main bedroom. It’s a small detail that makes daily life feel that much easier. A space-saving Euro laundry continues the theme of considered design.
Sliding doors open to a sweet rear alfresco - just right for slow weekend breakfasts or an evening glass of wine - overlooking a fully fenced backyard that’s secure, sunny and blissfully manageable. The front garden, meanwhile, sets a graceful tone with roses, a silver birch and liquid amber providing seasonal colour and instant charm.
With a single lock-up garage, additional driveway parking, ducted heating, evaporative cooling and fans, comfort is well covered. And the location? Utterly compelling. Walk to Ringwood East Station, shops and buses, with Tintern Grammar, Maroondah Hospital, Eastland and EastLink all close by.
This is character living without the compromise - timeless, convenient, and effortlessly inviting.
