Like a fine wine, the classic, solid brick 1930's Californian bungalow style home continues to improve with age after careful renovations. The classic lines of the brick facade are offset by the delightful front garden with brick paths to the feature front porch with double side entry. Inside, flawless presentation and originality blend with modern updates throughout, three good-sized bedrooms, formal lounge, dining/sitting room and open-style kitchen, meals, and living area. Original features abound in the separate formal lounge and dining rooms with high, ornate art deco ceilings and lead light windows, stained panel doors, picture rails and skirtings with brick feature fireplaces flanked by built-in cabinetry with matching lead light-glazed doors.
