Overview

Behind its classic 1930s façade, this heritage Californian bungalow has been completely reimagined into a high-end family home where character isn't preserved as a nod to the past, it's woven into everyday living. The renovation, led by LJM Architecture and delivered by Coastline Builders, lands comfortably between between respect and reinvention, keeping the soul intact while lifting the standard across every square metre.
Original leadlight windows, soaring ceilings, and timeless proportions set the tone up front. Three beautifully finished bedrooms sit quietly away from the main living zones, including one with its own ensuite, alongside a stylish family bathroom and a flexible formal lounge that works just as well as a home theatre or kids' retreat. Then the home opens right up. Light floods the expansive open-plan living and dining zone, anchored by a bold island kitchen designed for serious cooking and easy entertaining. Black cabinetry, premium appliances, a walk-in pantry, and a statement wine room that's glass-encased and built to house around 250 bottles give this space real presence without tipping into excess. Underfoot, blackbutt flooring adds warmth and continuity, while louvre windows, ducted a/c, and smart home lighting bring comfort firmly into the now. At the rear, the parents' retreat feels deliberately removed from the bustle of family life, complete with a custom dressing room, luxe ensuite, and a wide picture window framing the heated, self-cleaning pool.
Outdoor living has been thoughtfully resolved too. A covered timber deck connects seamlessly to the living zone, overlooking a low-maintenance lawn and pool where weekends unfold easily. The electric-gated driveway doubles as a safe play space, and the generous double garage handles parking and storage without compromise.
Set on a north-facing 632.3sqm parcel, with Hamilton South Public School directly across the road, The Junction an easy stroll away and Bar Beach just 2km from home, this is a property that delivers on lifestyle, quality, and longevity.
