This pretty period property is a solidly built 1930s Californian Bungalow, sitting on a corner allotment and within walking distance to the centre of the city, the train station, schools, cafes and La Trobe University. Flanked by a picket fence and a low-maintenance garden, the home offers original detail – from the front porch and entry doors, through to high ceilings, timber flooring and stained-glass window.

Double doors at the front of the home open into a central hallway, which leads to two good-sized bedrooms on one side, both with built-in robes and the front room with character, double-sash windows. A large linen closet and a modern family bathroom can be found at the end of the hallway, and at the rear of the property is a laundry with an additional, separate toilet.

The spacious dining room, with a wide bay window, opens in to a lounge room and either of these spaces could serve as a third bedroom if desired. The lounge leads into the compact, yet functional, kitchen that offers modern appliances and cabinetry along with original character detail. A study nook can be found off the kitchen and this opens out to both the rear of the property and into the laundry.

Outdoors, the front and side of the garden is set to lawn, with a 3m x 6m garden shed at the corner of the block. At the rear, easily accessed by both sides of the house, is a sunny paved courtyard.

Additional features include:
Ducted evaporative cooling

Sitting in a coveted area close to all amenities, this character property offers ample potential to add value – including the ability to extend (STCA). With a refurbished bathroom and kitchen, along with a flexible floorplan, the home is move-in ready and would also be a fantastic investment for a buyer seeking a property with great rental potential.
