CALIFORNIAN CHARM MEETS EXCEPTIONAL FAMILY SPACE
Behind this classic Californian bungalow facade, a thoughtful renovation and extension have produced a home where yesterday's grace, meets today's family space.

The property offers all the expectations of today's modern lifestyle while retaining its old-fashioned charm and appeal.

The characteristic front porch features planter boxes and a pair of barley twist columns. Double front doors featuring curved leadlight glazing invite you into the entry foyer with recently polished hardwood floors and high ceilings featuring decorative art-deco panels and cornice overhead.

The original section includes a front sitting room with a beautiful curved leadlight window and a working open fireplace. Across the hallway, the main bedroom has a wall of BIR's with matching leadlight.

The wide hallway passes a study nook before reaching the upgraded bathroom.
Expertly reimagined and executed – the expansive extension maintains the home's integrity by matching the ceiling height, floorboards, double-hung windows, external wall cladding, roof tiles and exposed rafter tails.

The result is an expansive area comprising three more bedrooms, a bathroom, practical laundry, a quality kitchen and vast living and dining spaces bathed in natural light filtering through a wall of North-facing windows. The functional area has room to cater for large family gatherings.

The hostess kitchen will make catering for family and friends a pleasure with gas/electric cooking appliances, dishwasher, corner pantry, appliance cupboard and ample cabinetry fitted with roll-out trays.

Warmer weather will entice you to dine or relax on the rear verandah or under the shaded pergola with an attached climbing frame and sandpit.

A haven for pets or toddlers, the low maintenance backyard features terraced garden beds, fruit trees, rainwater tanks, a tool shed and a workshop approx 7m x 9m.

The side driveway to the carport features a vine-draped arbour providing cool summer shade for the family room and extra parking space.

Other things to love are split system air con., ceiling fans, solar power and hot water, fresh paintwork and roof storage accessed by a drop ladder.

The Kennington address is handy for everything a family could need, with schools, the university, the CBD, Strath and Kennington Village shopping, medical/allied health clinics, public transport and sporting venues within walking distance.

Book your inspection today - this fine family domain won't wait for procrastinators.
