This much-loved c1925 solid brick Californian Bungalow has provided one family with nearly 5 decades of lifestyle enjoyment and now it's time to welcome in a new era. Gracing a beautiful, Plane tree-lined street with bustling Koornang Road shopping, plentitude of restaurants and the trams, cafes and boutiques of Waverley Rd nearby, there's no finer setting for family life than here within easy reach of Carnegie and East Malvern train stations, Ardrie and Central Park, Malvern Valley Golf Course and a selection of excellent schools. Beyond the classic faade, this flexible 3 bedroom / 4 bedroom home has a charm all of its own with comfortable areas to live, eat, relax and sleep culminating in generous north/westerly gardens. If amplifying traditional beauty is your inclination, these solid bones are easily updated and create a wonderful foundation for your renovation concepts or perhaps an upper storey. You might take inspiration from the prestige homes lining this prized streetscape and look to re-frame the future with a spectacular new home making the most of the level 626m2 approx allotment with no easements nor heritage overlay (STCA). There's no hurry to decide, today's interiors are immaculate and readily livable or lettable with sunny lounge, 2nd fireside sitting room and bungalow 4th bedroom/study. Some 1980's retro glamour sets off the kitchen and meals area whilst a neat bathroom, 2nd toilet and large laundry conclude the floorplan. In a peaceful leafy pocket handy to Lloyd St and St Mary's Primary Schools, Monash University and with the transport, fashion and fun of Chadstone Shopping Centre just down the road, this home holds classic appeal for families of all ages and stages
