Overview

Positioned in a treasured Newtown enclave, this classic Californian bungalow skillfully melds timeless character with modern relaxed living. Its charming facade and original high ceilings accented by decorative cornices convey a refined heritage vibe, appealing to those who appreciate historical architectural details.

Recent extensions at the rear flood the interior with natural light, notably enhancing spatial perception and fostering a seamless connection with the outdoor areas. The open-plan living room under the dramatic pitched cedar ceiling overlooks a mature gum tree, creating an inviting atmosphere that balances indoor comfort with a sense of nature.

Sliding doors lead to a paved alfresco perfect for entertaining, while the adjoining lawn area provides safe play space for children, making this home suitable for families who value both functionality and social gatherings. The kitchen's quality fittings—such as the Asko induction cooktop, Siemens oven, and Miele dishwasher—along with a built-in pantry and breakfast bar, create an efficient culinary environment that complements daily living.

Additionally, the presence of a front lounge offers a private retreat, enhancing the home's versatility for various lifestyle needs. Practical features including a home office with built-in storage, multiple heating options, solar panels, water tank, and generous storage areas contribute to comfort and sustainability.

Residents benefit from the strong community feel and tree-lined streets, enhanced by proximity to several reputed schools within walking distance, which supports educational convenience for families.
