Perfectly positioned in the heart of the prized Landcox Park precinct, this renovated Californian Bungalow, with its wonderful blend of period charm and designer detail, offers a blissful family lifestyle. Easily addressing today’s requirements with a spacious multi-zone layout, indoor-outdoor entertaining and a heated swimming pool just steps from Gardenvale Primary School and Zest Cafe.

At home amid a gorgeous period streetscape in a tightly held pocket, a traditional facade and leafy gardens introduce generous original rooms flowing towards a light-filled rear extension. Period features feel modern and fresh with newly-sanded, matt-finished, Baltic Pine floorboards, clear leadlight windows and high ceilings, while bathrooms have been recently updated with luxurious finishes and flair.

A generous formal lounge is warmed by a gas open fireplace, providing an inviting spot to relax, dine or study depending on your needs. Bright and airy family living extends out to an al fresco deck, creating an entertaining oasis with a vine-covered pergola and salt-water, mosaic-tiled pool set in beautifully private gardens. A spacious kitchen, featuring stone benchtops, a Smeg freestanding cooker, Miele dishwasher and pull-out pantry, overlooks the pool for peace of mind.

The main bedroom resides on the ground level, and includes walk-in/built-in robes and a luxe, stone vanity en suite. Upstairs a stunning, designer bathroom and two more bedrooms boasting lovely bay windows and built-in robes. A fourth bedroom provides the options of a generous retreat or study zone with glass sliders opening to a large sun deck. Views from the deck confirm the property’s superior privacy with the rear garden bordered by neighbouring tennis courts.

This sunlit sanctuary offers a guest powder room and full-size laundry alongside the kitchen. Heating and cooling, tandem carport and additional off-street parking. The pool is solar heated, while the gardens are leafy and landscaped.
