Character homes of this era rarely offer the perfect blend of space, charm, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow - yet this property delivers it all. Set on a generous 846sqm section, this is an ideal haven for families and those who love to entertain.

Originally built in the 1920s, this classic bungalow has been thoughtfully extended, modernised, and improved over the years. At its heart lies a spacious open-plan kitchen, family, and dining area. Featuring expansive bi-fold doors, this space opens onto a large deck and private garden, creating an effortless flow for entertaining while keeping an eye on the children playing in the backyard.

The chef-worthy kitchen boasts stainless steel benchtops, two ovens, a gas hob, and ample storage - perfect for unleashing your culinary creativity. The open-plan living area leads to a separate lounge with its own set of doors opening onto another deck. Complete with built-in seating, this area is ideal for relaxing or setting up a spa pool.

All three bedrooms are generously sized, with the master featuring a coveted walk-in wardrobe and ensuite - an uncommon find in homes of this vintage. The modernised family bathroom, along with a separate toilet, ensures convenience for all. With insulation top and bottom, a gas fire, ducted air conditioning, and a DVS system, this home is comfortable year-round.

The outdoor space is truly a standout. Surrounded by established palms and native plants, the property offers a private oasis with a sprawling lawn perfect for kids, pets, or even adding a pool. A separate studio room in the garden provides versatile options as a hobby space or playroom, and there is also a single garage. Fully fenced, this home is secure and ready for family living. You may even have the option to subdivide in the future, subject to council consent.

Situated on a quiet and sought-after street, the location is brilliant - just moments from town, excellent schools, and quality childcare. After 12 years of cherished memories, the current owners have already purchased their next home, offering you the opportunity to make this unique property yours with immediate possession available. Be quick to view this one, as it won’t last long! LIM and Building Report available on request.
