Built in 1926, this classic Californian bungalow has been renovated to reflect a modern lifestyle, offering an open plan design with strategic emphasis on social living. Renovated by Dan Gayfer Design; hardwood timber flooring throughout is beautifully accentuated with high ceilings and downlighting, and original fireplaces in two rooms lend a classic charm.

The custom-built kitchen offers a marvellous base for the home chef, with timber panelling, modern industrial steel and polished concrete finishings. Designer stainless steel appliances include Smeg stovetop and oven, and Miele dishwasher. A large island bench with an impressive 300kg polished concrete benchtop is the ideal multi-purpose space for both dining and preparation, and further contributes to the wealth of storage space. As the social hub of the house, the kitchen overlooks the dining and living rooms, and fully opens up to the stunning decked entertainment area. Framed with mature jacaranda and olive trees, the backyard is a peaceful and picturesque retreat. The large deck opens up to flourishing lawns and an outdoor entertainment room/ barbecue area.

Multiple living areas offer space for the whole family, with the lounge and study/fifth bedroom additional to the main living area. The master bedroom features built-in and walk-in robes, and an ensuite, while the three bedrooms at the front of the house share access to a central bathroom. The laundry is self-contained and has external access. In addition to two stunning fireplaces, there is hydronic and reverse cycle heating, and ducted air conditioning.

Within enviable proximity of some of Melbourne's finest schools, just minutes from the #68 tram, Bay St and Church St shopping and dining, and the Dendy and Brighton Bay cinemas. This is truly the ideal home for the urbane family with discerning taste. Don't miss out.
