Character-Filled Californian Bungalow with Superb Potential
Set beyond an established leafy garden and timber walkway, this enchanting Californian bungalow with Art Deco influences offers character-filled family living in one of Camberwell’s most convenient pockets. Designed and lovingly held by its long-term owners, the home combines timeless warmth with a flexible, multi-zoned layout, perfectly comfortable now with exceptional scope to renovate, reconfigure or extend (STCA).
Introduced by a welcoming covered terrace, the interior reveals high ceilings, period detail and a tranquil front living room with leafy garden outlook. Two generous bedrooms with built-in robes are complemented by a central bathroom with interior and exterior views, a separate skylit toilet and excellent natural light throughout. The functional kitchen provides abundant storage, a breakfast bar, and a picture window outlook, connecting to a versatile dining area, ideal for relaxed family meals.
A split-level lower domain extends the home’s flexibility with a retreat-style space that can adapt as a study and teen zone or entertainment lounge, complete with laundry, shower, WC and external access. From here, doors open to a sizeable timber terrace enveloped by established greenery and birdlife – a private sanctuary for outdoor dining and relaxation.
The allotment also includes off-street parking options, including a single carport, along with a workshop/storage shed. Practical features include ducted heating, ceiling fans and excellent internal storage.
Zoned for Camberwell High School and Camberwell Primary School, this well-loved residence is superbly positioned just moments from Lynden Park, with easy access to Toorak Road trams, Hartwell Station and major shopping precincts. A rare chance to secure a unique, owner-designed home offering warmth, charm and potential in a prized family location.
