The generous proportions of this renovated and extended Californian Bungalow are superbly configured for a wonderful lifestyle of living and entertaining excellence. Beautifully zoned for family harmony on a substantial allotment of approximately 657 square metres, there’s plenty of space for everyone to spread out in maximum comfort.

Resting beneath high ceilings, the flowing single-level layout incorporates a sitting room with adjoining study area, a formal lounge or optional fourth bedroom and a vast open-plan living and dining room overseen by a huge gourmet kitchen equipped with European appliances, stone benchtops and an extra-deep and wide waterfall island bench providing a central hub to prepare food, eat and chat.

The inviting interior opens onto a sizeable alfresco zone with decked platforms and a large courtyard wrapping around to the side. This is the perfect venue to wind down with a wine, set the table for outdoor gatherings and let the kids play safely to their hearts’ content.

Each enjoying the luxury of their own stylish ensuite bathrooms, the three bedrooms are privately accommodated in a wing on the left of the entry.

Ducted heating and cooling, off-street parking for two cars, a powder room, landscaped front garden and a separately accessed self-contained bungalow, studio/gymnasium and a big workshop enhance the comfort on offer.

Around the corner from cosmopolitan Martin Street Village and close to schools, Gardenvale Station, bus services, Kamesburgh Gardens, Bay Street’s buzzing shopping precinct and the beach, this is a definitely a place where family life meets a fabulous bayside lifestyle.
