A rustic Mediterranean garden of towering olive trees, leafy agaves and thriving yucca plants coexist against the pure white aesthetic of this charming 1930s bungalow which presents endless potential to evolve, on a generous allotment.Art Deco influences like original leadlight windows, an arched fireplace and the most spectacular 'nautical-themed' ceiling molding, bring hints of nostalgia and whimsy to this light-filled design - equipped with an original out-house and workshop out the back. Satin jarrah floors, sky-high ceilings and an inviting entrance foyer complement a spacious floorplan that includes two independent retreat-style bedrooms, each with private external access - ideally suited for teenagers, parents or guests alike.The original front bedroom is the perfect master suite or guest wing. Maximising the enclosed veranda with private access to the porch, the room leads to a dressing area, along with a with a study/yoga room and sunroom - or extra bedroom/nursery if required.Central to the home, the modern bathroom, with designer vanity and tub, adopts a sense of space and light from super-high ceilings and a sunny northern aspect - also shared by the kitchen next door.This endearing, country-style layout is appointed in loads of glossy white cabinetry, glass splash-backs, a practical mobile work bench and a free-standing Kleenmaid cooker (with a 6-burner induction stove) and matching dishwasher.But perhaps the real talking point here is the ceiling detail in the grand adjoining living room.Anchored by an arched gas fireplace, the view above is a truly magical story of sailing ships, rolling waves and stunning Deco paneling which captivates the imagination for hours.At the rear, the original sleep-out includes a large laundry and enclosed sunroom overlooking the garden, while a discreet 'secret' door leads to a hidden retreat and third bedroom which benefits from supreme privacy and convenient access to the garden.Other features include a single lock-up garage/storage shed, loads of off-street parking for extra vehicles, a boat or caravan and water-efficient gardens (equipped with a rain-water tank).This highly coveted address enjoys the best of both worlds.
