Overview
Positioned prominently within the prestigious Oakhill Estate of Reservoir, this distinguished Californian Bungalow stands as a testament to timeless character and craftsmanship, surrounded by an expansive 793sqm land parcel. The home’s grand elevated pillared verandah evokes a sense of arrival, introducing a residence where period features such as leadlight sash windows, high ceilings, picture rails, banded ceilings, and open fireplaces blend elegantly to create an unmistakable warm and inviting atmosphere.
The traditional layout is thoughtfully designed for family living, with four generously sized bedrooms split across either side of a wide central hallway. The master suite accommodates a walk-in robe and private ensuite, highlighting comfort and privacy, while a central bathroom serves the other bedrooms efficiently. Comfort is ensured year-round with ducted heating and evaporative cooling systems throughout.
The rear of the home unfolds into a spacious open-plan living and dining area that reflects contemporary family needs, with the kitchen thoughtfully positioned to maintain connection with these communal spaces. Glass doors lead to a substantial timber deck beneath a covered entertaining space, complementing an expansive backyard providing abundant room for children to play and family gatherings to flourish.
This home offers immediate livability and invites inspiration for renovations that could further enhance its exquisite period details and generous proportions, offering a compelling opportunity for buyers seeking a property rich in original character yet adaptable to modern lifestyles (subject to council approval).
