Built and cherished by the builder as his own family home, this exceptional five-bedroom Californian Bungalow is a masterful celebration of heritage elegance, meticulous craftsmanship and contemporary family living.

Rich timber detailing, soaring ornate ceilings, exquisite leadlight windows and solid spotted gum flooring create a home of enduring character. A striking double-door entry welcomes you into the north-facing formal lounge, where an open fireplace offers warmth and timeless charm. Two bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned on the ground floor, including the main suite with a walk-in robe and ensuite, second bedroom with built-in robe, a tiled bathroom, separate powder room and generous laundry.

The expansive open-plan living and dining zone is elegantly seamless with another brick fireplace complemented by a solid timber kitchen with stainless steel appliances.

The stunning alfresco entertaining area is a true centrepiece, where tessellated tiles and a striking brick archway frame the magnesium swimming pool and spa. Surrounded by beautifully landscaped, low-maintenance gardens, this private sanctuary sets the scene for year-round enjoyment and memorable gatherings.

Upstairs, a superb second living area opens onto a balcony showcasing spectacular city views, accompanied by three dormer-style bedrooms with built-in robes and a timeless tiled family bathroom. Together, the home offers three distinct living areas, three bathrooms and a separate downstairs powder room.

Ducted heating and cooling, ducted vacuum, generous attic storage and internal access to an oversized garage deliver everyday comfort and convenience.

Enjoy an enviable lifestyle just moments from Sydney Road’s vibrant cafés and boutiques, Anstey and Moreland Stations, three tram and bus routes and Brunswick North Primary School, with zoning for Brunswick Secondary College.

A timeless family sanctuary where heritage charm, exceptional craftsmanship and resort-style entertaining come together.
