Originally constructed in the 1920s and relocated from Brighton to the peninsula around 20 years ago, this character-filled weatherboard home offers a rare and exciting opportunity to restore a piece of history to its former glory. Brimming with period charm and set on a leafy, established block in a peaceful pocket of Tootgarook, it's the perfect project for renovators, creative visionaries, or families ready to make their mark. From the moment you arrive, the home's timeless appeal is evident. A classic façade with gabled rooflines, a welcoming front verandah and original fretwork creates an inviting street presence, while mature tea trees enhance the sense of privacy and calm. Inside, the home retains many of its original features - high ceilings, polished timber floors, large sash windows and intricate period detailing - all providing the perfect foundation for a sympathetic renovation. The spacious floorplan already offers exceptional bones to work with. At its heart is a generous open-plan family and dining zone, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and bathed in natural light. The adjoining kitchen is functional and well-proportioned, offering ample storage and bench space - ready for a contemporary transformation. French doors open to an alfresco deck with built-in fireplace, a wonderful setting for outdoor entertaining that could easily be elevated into a showpiece entertaining area. Accommodation is equally impressive, with four bedrooms spread across the home and a versatile upstairs retreat with a fifth bedroom - ideal as a teenager's zone, guest accommodation or home office. The master bedroom includes a walk-in robe and ensuite, while the central family bathroom is spacious and ready for a stylish update. The outdoor areas mirror the home's potential. A covered alfresco zone overlooks private gardens, offering plenty of space for children and pets to play and scope to landscape into a true backyard oasis. A separate garage provides excellent storage or could be converted into a workshop, studio or gym. Practical features include split-system heating and cooling, a wood heater, dedicated laundry and ample off-street parking. Comfortable as is, the home's true potential lies in the chance to reimagine it - whether through a series of thoughtful cosmetic updates or a more extensive renovation - and create a residence that blends period character with contemporary coastal style. The home's story adds to its appeal. Originally built in one of Melbourne's most prestigious suburbs and carefully relocated to Tootgarook two decades ago, it retains all the grace and character of its era. Now, it's ready for a new chapter - one where its timeless beauty is celebrated and enhanced for modern living. Situated just minutes from Tootgarook Beach, local cafés, schools and shops, this is a rare opportunity to secure a property with history, heart and unlimited potential. Whether you're an experienced renovator or simply looking for a rewarding project, 41 Kuringai Road invites you to bring your vision and breathe new life into a 1920s classic.
