21a Dowding St, California Gully is a 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom House with 1 parking spaces and was built in 1950. The property has a land size of 646m2 and floor size of 169m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in October 2024.
This charming triple-fronted weatherboard has helped define its post-war neighbourhood with pride, which makes it so deserving of the love that's been put into maintaining it in recent times.
The property has that elusive sense of home-sweet-home. You'll feel like instant friends upon stepping up to the elevated front porch, with its wrought iron balustrade and wide cream brick chimney.
Step inside to a welcoming entrance hall, polished floorboards and high ceilings, and be pleasantly surprised at what lies beyond. There's more to the floorplan than what you may expect of a home of this vintage, and it's adaptable.
Down one side of the home there are three generously-sized bedrooms, each with a built-in-robe. The front room is painted a gorgeous cobalt blue with bright white trim. A timber-framed corner window brings yet more character.
The rear room serves as either a big fourth bedroom, or a quiet second living space / children's rumpus room ? the choice is yours.
The main family room is accessed through double mid-century doors in the hallway. It has two beautiful feature windows, and the original brick hearth. (There is also ducted floor heating in various rooms throughout the home.)
The open-plan kitchen/dining room offers more vintage charm, thanks to retaining its original timber kitchen cabinets, now painted a creamy white. A gas upright stove sits in a traditional tiled alcove. A freestanding island bench brings contemporary practicality.
The bathroom offers another modern touch; it's fully updated with a bath, shower and vanity.
Two further rooms offer welcome flexibility ? a walk-through study features a built-in-desk, and a multipurpose space would make the ideal hobby room. Plus, there is loads of built-in storage.
Through the laundry is a lovely, large undercover alfresco area overlooking the lush green lawn, fully fenced backyard and single garage, with storage space to the side to house a small caravan, boat or trailer.
Dowding Street is located just a few minutes' drive from Eaglehawk, with its convenient supermarkets, leisure centre and schools, and its unique drawcards of the Star Cinema, lakes, parks, playgrounds and cafes.
