An original ‘Grande Dame’ on the high side of the street, this perfectly preserved early Californian Bungalow, variously tweaked and extended over time, retains all the classic period character of the Federation era.

Situated on an impressive 926sqm (approx.) lot, and prefaced by an expansive covered front verandah, the property opens into formal entry with timber hallway fretwork and burnished Baltic pine flooring.

Layered with soaring ceilings, decorative architraves, stained-glass feature windows, and heritage fireplaces, it features two generously sized front bedrooms, bathroom (shower & bath), large lounge/dining, third bedroom, huge timber kitchen/meals with wall oven, 900 gas hotplates, dishwasher, and masses of cabinetry.

A sunroom with garden outlook, laundry/storage including additional kitchen area with upright cooker, powder, ducted heating and split system air-conditioner, plus further upstairs living (central utility room, further bedrooms with built-in furniture, and kitchenette/bathroom) complete an incredible opportunity to craft a truly impressive family home.

Along with ample space to landscape the ultimate garden retreat, the enormous backyard contains a solid bluestone woodfire BBQ, chicken coop, garden shed, and handy gate access from the side laneway.

A solid foundation for a contemporary reconfiguration (STCA), with its striking façade, large land size and view maximising aspect, this highly connected location, in the sweet spot between Essendon and Moonee Ponds, is moments from an array of local shops, cafes & restaurants, train, trams, buses, Citylink, and schools (Strathmore Secondary College zone.)
