31 Condon Street, Kennington VIC 3550

This classic Californian bungalow located on a prime Kennington corner lot is a fine example of why the style is currently fashionable with it's flexible floor plan and characteristic details.

Embellished with a weatherboard and roughcast exterior, it features wide eaves, broad front verandah with thick masonry piers, high gable ends with timber shingles & decorative vent, double front entry and art nouveau inspired lead light windows.

The original owner and builder was a plasterer who added some of the finest decorative ceilings and deepest cornices available along with timber fretwork to the hallway.

Still in excellent condition, the home boasts space-adding high ceilings and wide hallways along with three big bedrooms, central bathroom and spacious gas-heated lounge with supplementary split system air conditioner.

Large eat-in kitchen, upgraded some years ago, includes gas cooktop, electric wall oven and ample cabinetry with a separate laundry and toilet off the rear vestibule.

The corner lot provides easy access to a carport off Clarke Street and two original stone stables in the backyard. One has been converted to a studio/worksop (power/lights) while the second could be used as another shed or outdoor living area.

Extras include 6 solar panels, rainwater tank, garden shed and pretty gardens.
Ideally situated within a short walk to the city, university, schools, shops and public transport.
Perfect as is, but with loads of potential for future improvement, this is a must-see.
