$680,000 - $745,000

Freshly painted interiors with striking polished floorboards and high ceilings showcase just some of the popular architectural features of this Californian bungalow.

Set on the high side of the street, step through the landscaped garden up to a wide front verandah that sits among the shady tree tops. This north-facing vantage is the perfect spot to soak up the late autumn sunshine.

A central hallway divides the original part of the home and provides access to three spacious bedrooms, two with BIRs. All have delightful triple-panel picture windows, with decorative timber-panel bases, that flood the home with light.

The first formal living space provides plenty of room for growing families and is enhanced by a ceiling fan for added comfort. The home also features ducted heating throughout to guarantee warmth as the seasons cool.

An extension from an earlier update contains a family bathroom with shower/bath, vanity and toilet, while opposite is an enormous laundry and second bathroom (including shower, vanity and toilet), offering excellent functionality for busy households.

A second fully-tiled living zone incorporates the kitchen/dining area. The galley-style kitchen features a dishwasher, wall oven, four-burner gas cooking hob and ample cupboard space.

Windows all around, plus a set of paned French doors, take in views of the mature terraced garden. A network of paths meanders deep into the leafy block. A large, covered alfresco area and lots of brick paving create an ideal area for the outdoor entertainer.

A single-car garage at the end of a wide driveway has a workshop area and storage room. This home is ready to move in and enjoy, while also offering excellent scope to update, extend or redevelop (STCA).

Importantly, the property is not affected by a heritage overlay and benefits from favourable building height controls, supporting strong future development potential. It is located within a General Residential Zone (GRZ4), which encourages higher-density outcomes such as townhouses and multi-dwelling developments (STCA).

This home is positioned in a high-demand neighbourhood of new and established homes and modern updates where location is key. It is close to primary and secondary schools, and the Vines Road shops, playground and community centre. Private colleges are close by and the Ring Road connects you to Melbourne or the Surf Coast.
