This attractive weatherboard Californian Bungalow consisting of 6 main rooms plus wet areas, retains many of the hallmarks of its era, while a later extension delivers loads of scope for contemporary personalisation. Situated in a valued location zoned to Strathmore Secondary College, walking distance to Melville Road trams, local shops and cafes, it promises a lifestyle of inner urban convenience.
A stucco enclosed porch prefaces the entry hallway with its original picture rails, feature glazing and casement windows. At the front of the home, to the right, an elegant formal lounge and adjacent dining room each contain period fireplace surrounds and ceiling plasterwork, while on the left are two bedrooms, one with BIR's.
The slate floored extended floor plan encompasses a sunny kitchen with island/breakfast bar, good storage, gas cooktop, wall oven and dishwasher, plus a wall of built in bookcases, study alcove and large living room with bar. Step down to a versatile space suitable as an open style home office, children's play zone or rumpus area. The laundry is flanked by a toilet and bathroom containing double vanity, shower and bathtub.
A covered outdoor deck area and back garden, ripe for some landscaping love, and a single garage/workshop, split system heating/cooling units and ceiling fans, complete an eminently liveable home that could nevertheless benefit from a modern refresh.
Enjoy access to popular primary schools and the open spaces of Shore Reserve, it's also close to Strathmore Station, Citylink and Coburg North Village. A fabulous opportunity to create your best life in a wonderful family friendly location.
