'Carlisle': the circa 1925 bungalow, extended out and up on a rare block with some 1200 square metres, heated pool, and competition court at its beckon call near the beach. Beautiful. When the hot summer sands of Somerton sit within a short walk, is there a better base to the beachy life than a 4-bedroom home that lives to entertain? No, there isn't. While an extended bungalow is not so rare but rather a no-brainer, the idea to build up was a masterstroke that added a haven for kids, without disrupting that classic bungalow faade. Polished timber floors, lofty ceilings, the odd fireplace and prominent timber work feature regularly within the upgraded original home. Thanks to that second level, only one bedroom remains below: a master that adds a dressing room and ensuite to your enviable refuge. If the formal lounge is a quiet haven for adults, then the lounge room on level two is the kids' equivalent. Arguably unequaled is the open-plan living arena of the rear, where dimension reaching nearly nine metres make pleasing a big crowd so easy. A dining room is reserved for formal dinner parties, while the super-functional timber-laden kitchen serves you well as hub and cook's haven. With a walk-in pantry of this size, a 900mm oven, dishwasher and plenty of bench space, feeding the masses is a mere walk-in the park. Summer is coming so take it outside, where a gazebo, magnesium pool (the safer way to swim) and floodlit synthetic tennis court say; "This is Somerton Park...with serious perks".
