High attention has been paid to every detail and heart and soul applied to every inch to recreate this masterpiece into the stunning home it is today - all the while, it's very clever owners paying special tribute to its original charms and character. it's 1930s-built by a renowned Geelong builder as a wedding gift for their daughter, it's immediately evident this home was fashioned with so much love.

Cleverly balancing the beauty of yesteryear with the modern amenities and comforts one would expect today in a home of this standing - classic bungalow styling prevails with double-hung timber-framed windows, timber framework, architraves, picture rails, and stunning internal doors. Dark timber floors, high ceilings & ornate ceiling mouldings along with intricate period light fittings.

Three extra-large bedrooms with robes, 2.5 designer bathrooms and a state-of-the-art laundry. The impressive master suite dishing up grand-scale luxe with a fitted walk-in robe and his & hers ensuite. The family bathroom with a deep bath and a shower & a powder room/3rd toilet servicing the rest of the household with ease.

Two large separate living spaces - the graceful formal lounge featuring a bay window and double glass doors adjoining the wide entry hall and the formal dining featuring an ornamental cast iron stove fireplace and the most amazing crystal chandelier.

Flowing through to the second living zone at the rear centring around a gas log fireplace, with a nine-blade ceiling fan and exquisite "s-fold" drapes gracing the oversized stacker doors to provide a sumptuous feel to the room and seamlessly integrate with the alfresco.

The kitchen design brief was to deliver a welcoming, gathering space, large enough for the entire family to enjoy - and without a doubt, this standout kitchen is the worthy centrepiece and cornerstone of this exquisite home. A central stone-top island bench under glass and silver pendant lighting forms the focal point, stunning black 900mm oven and a recessed range hood, square-set double sinks, dishwasher, deep drawers, an amazing array of cupboards and a walk-in pantry.
