1 Werona Street, Bentleigh, Vic 3204

More than a Californian dream...this is the place to live the dream of an entertaining family life! Respectfully renovated with an eye to superior period detail and superb quality finishes, this four bedroom and home-office, two bathroom, dual zone Californian Bungalow offers today’s luxury family living with an entertaining edge.

Beautifully accommodating with a grand master-suite opening through a fitted walk-in robe to a dual-vanity courtyard-view ensuite, this impressive home features a gas-fire warmed formal lounge (currently doubling as huge fourth bedroom) and expansive indoor-outdoor living wrapping a state-of-the-art al fresco zone with BBQ, sink, and fridge space (and, in turn, wrapped by extended decking). There’s even more in a skylit dual-workstation home-office PLUS a versatile ‘secret' multi-purpose zone – perfect as business-at-home office, teenager retreat, gym or Pilates studio.

Showcasing a rare appreciation for quality with a cutting-edge granite kitchen (with dual-oven Falcon range and Miele dishwasher), this inviting entertainer has more granite benchtops for the high-specification butler’s pantry (with double sink, second dishwasher and additional fridge space)...and more state-of-the-art style in a gas and water-plumbed al fresco kitchen – complete with a third fridge space.

Rich with period detail beyond a wide veranda and leadlight double-door entry, the home features elaborate decorative ceilings, natural timber doors and a grand tiled gas-fire. Offering a wealth of contemporary comfort with hydronic heating (even for towel-rails too) plus zoned climate-control, there’s alarm security and four well-integrated carspaces in a double carport plus double garage. Set in formal grounds with a hedged and bluestone-paved north-facing rear, even the laundry/utility garden is impeccable conceived with a grid of Mondo Grass-edged pavers!

A grand home of yesterday, located for today’s greatest lifestyle, this impressive Californian Bungalow is just 400m to a major retail and rail hub, four blocks to local Patterson village with Halley Park around the corner, schools within a walk and the CBD within a 27 minute commute.
