Restored and enhanced in the most timeless way, this deceptively spacious bungalow has improved with age. Currently a builder's own, the home is wonderfully presented, loaded with character and brimful of modern comfort and convenience. Since arriving at its Chartwell site five years ago, the home has undergone extensive updating, including majors such as re-piling, re-wiring, plumbing and modernizing throughout. Emphasis is placed on the sense of flow and open plan living. The large lounge not only mingles with the kitchen-dining area, it spills onto an entertainment courtyard, perfect for summer living. A study nook in sightline has been cleverly crafted into the hallway. The bathrooms are jaw-dropping gorgeous, and the three bedrooms are restful, elegant spaces. A fully fitted walk-in robe serves the step-down master bedroom just footsteps from the tiled second bathroom. Tongue-and-groove paneling adds rich character to the main bathroom. Both bathrooms and kitchen are offset by negative detailing and vintage features, retained throughout, show off the unique craftsmanship of the era. The kitchen and dry scullery, as well as the laundry, are models of efficiency, designed to take care of everyday duties with ease. There is good storage and various creature comforts, including two heat pumps, a woodburner and a heat transfer system. The fully fenced section accommodates a double garage and gully neighbour. Local river walks and parks are nearby for the family to enjoy plus the central ease of access to the CBD and Chartwell Shopping Centre will benefit the new owners as it has the current ones.
