12 Houston Street, Flora Hill VIC 3550

Behind the picket fence is this understated fully renovated Californian Bungalow reflecting quality, modern charm and subtle elegance. A sense of calm and tranquility draws you in from the world with polished hardwood boards throughout, high ceilings, muted colour palette and a touch of character complementing the modern extension with raked ceilings, combination high and large windows with French doors flooding the space with north facing natural light.

A flexible floorplan offers 3 large bedrooms – two with BIRs and the master with WIR and full ensuite large open plan living or convert one bedroom into a cosy sitting room if you wish. A family bathroom with separate toilet, and spacious laundry with ample bench space and loads of storage are located within the original footprint of the home.

A beautifully equipped kitchen with WI pantry – add a sink and turn it into a fully functioning butler's pantry overlooks the dining space which has a timber floating desk fixed to the left internal wall, creating a study nook, and the generous living area directly opposite provides seating around a monochromatic linear fireplace awaiting the next homeowner's installation of either a fully operating open fireplace with modern over mantel, or imitation gas log fire.

From the French doors out to the rear deck is the outdoor entertaining area enveloped in a wall of greenery offering privacy. The Vergola roof has the option to be connected to rain sensitive function, with a large, plumbed sink and built-in gas BBQ enabling effortless entertaining.
A single carport with automatic panel lift door plus parking in front for another vehicle provide suitable off-street parking. The workshop/studio is located behind the carport, complete with concrete floor, power and roller door caters to the handyperson or artist.

Creature comforts include a combination of ducted refrigerated heating and cooling, ducted gas heating, split system unit to the open living, double glazed windows throughout and external awnings all aid in internal climate control and rainwater tanks – one plumbed to the toilets, security screen doors, watering system throughout the lovely garden and childproof rear yard provide efficiency. Move in and put your feet up, there's nothing left to do.

Located near local shops, walking tracks, schools, cafes and much more, this home would suit a professional couple, semi-retirees and downsizers.
