Set on an exceptional 852sqm (approx.) parcel in one of Kew’s most prestigious tree-lined streets, this distinguished California Bungalow presents a rare opportunity to accommodate multiple generations under one roof, with space, flexibility and privacy for every stage of family life.
Beautifully balancing timeless period elegance with expansive contemporary living, the home’s impressive five-bedroom layout, multiple living zones and two principal suites create outstanding versatility for multigenerational families. Whether welcoming grandparents, accommodating adult children, providing independent space for extended family or creating dedicated work-from-home retreats, the generous proportions offer a flexible foundation for evolving family needs.
Behind a handsome tuck-pointed red brick façade, traditional verandah and double entry, a wonderfully wide central hallway introduces elegant formal living and dining rooms, complete with an open fireplace and verandah access. Three bedrooms with built-in robes, a further bedroom/study and an attic-style principal retreat provide a wealth of accommodation, while a separate bedroom suite with ensuite and kitchenette offers valuable additional independence for extended family or guests.
At the rear, an expansive extension embraces a sun-drenched northern aspect, where a well-appointed kitchen featuring contemporary appliances, including a 900mm Smeg induction cooker, connects with three generous living and entertaining zones. With direct access to paved poolside areas and the sun-filled north-facing garden, these spaces provide an inviting setting for family gatherings while allowing everyone room to spread out and enjoy their own space.
Upstairs, a second principal suite with walk-in robe is complemented by a bathroom, a generous additional retreat and a northern balcony, creating a further private sanctuary ideal for another generation or a family seeking separation between living and sleeping zones.
Outdoors, the substantial garden and swimming pool provide a wonderful backdrop for relaxed family living, entertaining and making lasting memories. A secure double carport and additional off-street parking add everyday practicality, while hydronic heating, multiple split-system cooling units, solar panels, extensive built-in storage and a dedicated laundry enhance comfort and functionality.
Rich in preserved period character, including high decorative ceilings, original doors, delicate timber fretwork and deep-silled windows, this is a home that combines enduring charm with the space and adaptability today's larger families increasingly seek.
Positioned within easy reach of Willsmere Village cafés, Anniversary Trail, buses, Kew Junction, leading private schools, Kew Primary, Kew High, Yarra River parklands, golf courses and the Eastern Freeway, this is an exceptional opportunity to secure a substantial family residence with the flexibility to bring generations together while giving everyone room to thrive.
