Fine craftsmanship, richly textured, decorative architecture and visually appealing façade , this iconic California bungalow with Art Deco flourishes is in its own category as there is nothing quite like it on the market today as a direct comparison.
Providing a high quality of life and built in 1923 by Walter and Millicent Carter, the home was named Osterley after the ship the Carters travelled in from England.
With a heritage overlay (not heritage listed) and occupying a prominent 757 sqm approx. corner allotment with side access, Osterley is a truly unique property and an extraordinary opportunity.
Located in the most sought-after south side of Werribee, the tightly held locale will be a major drawcard with buyers.
Constructed during a period when homes were built with passion, love and perpetuity, your family will appreciate the exceptional qualities of this one-of-a-kind residence just like the original owners.
Surrounded by a lush garden, the home's exterior catches the eye thanks to its distinct red brickwork, white accents, pitched roof, portico carport, curvaceous brick fencing as well as a light-filled observatory, expansive veranda terrace and stunning ornate gates.
The terrace is ideal to relax and unwind in total comfort whilst you enjoy your morning coffee or a glass of wine with friends in the summer evening air.
With two-way access and featuring striking Art Nouveau leadlight windows, the spacious observatory provides year-round entertainment options. Alternatively this captivating space could also be utilised as a studio.
A stunning fusion of space and light, the home's continuous-flow layout showcases towering ceiling heights (10.5ft), original timber flooring, intricate cornices and beautiful leadlight windows throughout.
The home includes three large bedrooms - two with gorgeous bay windows facing street level which share a centrally located bathroom that includes an extended walk-in shower. One of the front bedrooms is fitted with built-in robes while the other boasts an ornate fireplace.
To the right of the entryway and divided by back-to-back fireplaces, an oversized sitting room with its own bay window facing the North garden makes the room light and airy. The fully equipped kitchen includes premium appliances, clever cabinetry and a casual meals area that connects to a family-sized laundry.
Looking out onto greenery, the sprawling backyard is highly functional for both children and adults and features a paved courtyard, established lawn, mature trees as well as a charming brick garden shed and a large brick garage/storage shed.
