An outstanding renovation full of light, luxury and new spaciousness blends old and new beautifully in this 1920s Californian bungalow. This master craftsman's own home is awe-inspiring, with a single-level design that delivers vast living and dining spaces, an inter-connected family room, and four generous bedrooms. The original beauty of this fine home remains, as it has been tightly held by the one family since 1934. Leadlight, ornate ceilings and an arched verandah are exquisite, alongside contemporary use of marble, timber, and huge expanses of double-glazed glass. Newly transformed, this family home now rates as one of Ormond's most innovative renovations. A huge wall of 21 north-facing bifold doors links the spectacular living areas to the generous deck area and garden ... perfect for the biggest parties or simply relaxing outdoors. Seamless design reveals a streamlined Calacatta marble kitchen, complete with a huge island bench and an abundance of storage. It's just like the rest of this wonderful home, delivering form and function in unison. Every room reveals a new dimension, including the main bedroom with a stylish ensuite, the renovated family bathroom, and the family room with expansive garden and deck views.
Hydronic heating, new carpets and stunning Sydney Blue Gum timber floors, quality European appliances and fastidious attention to detail make this a magnificent home on 935 square metres (approx) of land. Designed to make the most of the large garden, there's a family-friendly feel to outdoor living with a double-storey playhouse, an assortment of fruit trees, and plenty of room for a north-facing pool. A deluxe choice for those who love fine design and timeless innovation, in a prized location, near Ormond station, shops, schools, GESAC and local parklands.
