This elegant Californian Bungalow at 8 Fischer Street, Coburg, beautifully preserves classic period charm combined with extensive thoughtfully executed renovations. The residence's original features – from decorative high ceilings and leadlight windows to picture rails and polished hardwood floors – convey character and warmth that set it apart from contemporary builds.
Functionality and lifestyle are harmoniously integrated through a versatile floor plan. A formal lounge area, capable of serving as a fourth bedroom, surrounds a cozy open fireplace and bay window, creating an inviting space for family living or guests. The adjacent dining room, separated by leadlight French doors, offers an elegant setting for entertaining.
At the heart lies a sophisticated kitchen designed for those with culinary passion. Equipped with high-end appliances including a Falcon Deluxe 110cm dual fuel cooker and rangehood, a Fisher & Paykel dishwasher, solid stone countertops, and custom cabinetry, the kitchen combines form and function. A large walk-in pantry further enhances storage and organization, supporting seamless meal preparation and entertaining.
The home's open plan living and meals zone extends naturally into a spacious entertainment and games room that features a custom-built bar, wine racks, window seating with storage, and bi-fold doors. These open onto a covered alfresco deck outfitted with retractable screens and blinds, providing comfortable all-weather outdoor living options with added privacy.
- Four well-appointed bedrooms with generous built-in wardrobes offer flexibility for family sizes or guests.
