THE DEAL
Completely reworked while true to its roots, this 768m2 (approx.) bungalow encapsulates everything Essendon foliage, heritage, community, lifestyle. The perfect family forever-home.
The street is one of Essendons best. The faade is as charming as it gets. Function separates it from the rest.
Floors and fireplaces, fretwork and wall panelling, leadlight and bay windows - Detail astonishes, character thrives and originality remains. Modern luxuries dont take from the persona they elevate it.
Formal living and dining are quick to impress considered counterparts to a back section made for entertaining. ILVE and Asko appliances, granite benches and plentiful cabinetry offer real culinary substance. A separate third living space neighbours the family/meals area all spilling out to an alfresco that takes centre-stage.
A plumbed barbecue, woodfire pizza oven, hot/cold basin, fans, heaters and wired speakers all included. Canopies of green for privacy, a Weeping Myrtle, fire pit area and a trickling water feature add to the atmosphere perfect for a pause and recharge.
Living on one level is made easy by two downstairs bedrooms (one doubling as a study), plenty of robe space, a modern bathroom with twin basins and a bathtub and ensuite in a superb master. A third bathroom and three more bedrooms are upstairs to complete accommodation ideal for the large family.
A gas-converted fireplace makes for cosy nights. Camera and alarm security deliver peace of mind. Water tank and WiFi irrigation let plants stay green year-round. 6 wall speakers plus wall-mounted sub-woofer could remain. Garden lighting, ducted heating/cooling, abundant storage, a large laundry and secure double carport mean the home performs on every front.
SEALS THE DEAL
