Architectural styling has transformed this Californian bungalow, atop the prestigious McKinnon Hill, into a contemporary classic.
The owner's interior design background has helped bring this period classic back in vogue with ornate features brought to life with flair, but with an eye on form and function. This spacious home has 2 bathrooms and 4 bedroom with BIR's, the master including en-suite with marbleized glass and shoji door. A state-of-the-art kitchen with Bosch appliances and beautiful natural stone finishes, including silver travertine bench tops, also used in the laundry and bathrooms. Perfectly designed for entertaining, there are three living areas as well as a study and wine cellar. The living zones open onto the rear entertaining area and backyard via a cavity sliding-glass door linking the limestone tiled living areas seamlessly with the outside spaces. High-end finishes are a hallmark with natural materials and lighting used to great effect in showcasing ornate period detail. A home for all seasons with double glazing, full insulation, 4-zone in-slab heating, ducted heating, Escea gas heater, open fire place, and split system air conditioning.
Captivating from the moment you pass through the original Californian archway, cross the tessellated front porch, and enter through the double opening doors. Tread new hardwood timbers in the grand hallway connecting the original home with the new renovation. and continue through the bright and spacious interiors to the outdoor area with its contemporary blend of natural stone, timber decking and landscaped private gardens. Pull into the driveway through the automated front gate and into a carport with roof-storage.
There is a second car space along with a lockable storage room/workshop.
The home also features a 5,000litre garden rainwater tank and is positioned on approximately 600m2. Arguably, one of the best fully renovated period homes in the coveted McKinnon Hill pocket & the McKinnon College zone.
