Beyond a picture-perfect postcard façade, this beautifully preserved & comprehensively enhanced double-brick California Bungalow delivers an exceptional combination of timeless elegance, quality craftsmanship & sophisticated family living on a magnificent north-facing allotment of 585m2*.

Framed by formal landscaped gardens, manicured hedging & mature trees, the tuck-pointed façade creates an unforgettable first impression, complemented by a striking Victorian cast-iron tiered fountain that provides an elegant centrepiece to the front garden. A secure intercom entrance & remote sliding gate lead through illuminated gardens to an exquisite leadlight entry, where original fretwork, decorative plaster ceiling roses & period detailing combine with the warmth of French Oak parquetry to immediately reveal the character & class within.
Generous proportions & a wonderfully flexible floorplan provide three bedrooms plus a study or fourth bedroom, complemented by two elegant living zones. Rich in period detail, the study & second living zone each feature handsome timber mantles with gas fireplace inserts, creating inviting spaces of warmth & distinction.

At the heart of the home, a skylit entertainer’s kitchen combines classic styling with outstanding functionality. Beautiful two-pack cabinetry, stone benchtops & splashbacks are complemented by twin 600mm Smeg pyrolytic ovens, two Smeg warming drawers, an integrated French-door refrigerator, double-drawer dishwasher & traditional Belfast sink. An adjoining laundry/butler’s pantry continues the same exceptional level of finish, complete with a second Belfast sink & dedicated provision for a bar/wine fridge.

The beautifully appointed family bathroom continues the home’s refined aesthetic, featuring a cast-iron claw-foot bath, marble-topped vanity, skylight, generous shower with both rain shower & handheld shower, & a heated towel ladder.

Expansive living flows effortlessly through double stacker sliding doors to an inviting alfresco entertaining patio & beautifully landscaped rear garden, creating a superb indoor-outdoor environment for relaxed family living & elegant entertaining.

Privately positioned upstairs, the parents’ retreat provides a luxurious sanctuary with a generous walk-in robe featuring bespoke two-pack cabinetry & a refined ensuite with twin basins, marble vanity top & a large walk-in shower complete with both rain shower & handheld shower.

Importantly, the home has been rewired, replumbed & restumped, reflecting the thoroughness with which it has been maintained & improved. Presented in excellent condition & order throughout, everything has been done. There is nothing left for its next owners to do but move in & immediately enjoy the quality, comfort & elegance of this exceptional family residence.

Perfectly positioned within the Caulfield South Primary School zone, the home also enjoys easy access to an outstanding selection of public & private schooling options.
