7 Clarke Street, Kennington is a masterfully refurbished California Bungalow that blends timeless character with cutting-edge design, thanks to an impeccable transformation by renowned local builder Peter Brown Custom Homes. Showcasing rich Art Deco features and period charm, the home has been completely reimagined with a stunning architect-designed extension that delivers exceptional functionality, space, and style.
At the heart of the residence lies a spectacular new kitchen, meals, and living zone, bathed in natural light from Velux skylights and framed by expansive double-glazed windows and stacker doors that open to a seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining space. The kitchen is a true culinary showpiece, fitted with premium Miele appliances, including two 600mm fan-forced ovens, a 900mm induction cooktop, and an integrated dishwasher. Stone and porcelain benchtops, extensive custom cabinetry, and a walk-through pantry connecting to the beautifully appointed laundry/mud room enhance both form and function-complete with plumbing for a fridge and sensor-lit storage.
This is essentially a brand new home beneath its elegant period façade. The original structure has been completely rewired, re-plumbed, re-stumped, and fully insulated to the walls, ceilings, and floors. The extension, crafted with precision by Peter Brown Custom Homes, features double-glazing, while the front of the home retains exquisite leadlight windows, ornate ceilings, and decorative detailing that reflect its original era. Zoned ducted reverse-cycle heating and cooling (by Mitsubishi and Fujitsu ceiling cassettes) ensures year-round comfort.
Throughout, floor-to-ceiling sheer curtains and quality drapes add a layer of softness and elegance, while the neutral palette is punctuated with sophisticated pops of colour, enhancing the home's warm, welcoming atmosphere. Custom cabinetry and sensor LED strip lighting appear in the kitchen, bathrooms, and walk-in robe, complementing high-end features such as walk-in showers, a luxurious freestanding bath, floor-to-ceiling tiles, and heated floors and towel rails in both the ensuite and main bathroom.
Outside, the home continues to impress with professionally landscaped gardens, fully automated irrigation, and striking exposed aggregate concrete to the front, offering off-street parking for two vehicles. A charming central water fountain enhances curb appeal, while the expansive decked alfresco area-complete with lined ceiling and a fire pit zone-extends the living space dramatically, ideal for large gatherings. A new rear shed with lane access from Albion Street adds storage or an additional car space.
Located just 280m from St Therese's Primary School, and within easy reach of Bendigo Train Station (1.8km), Marketplace, Kennington Village, Edwards Providore, and Kennington Reservoir (1.9km), this is a rare opportunity to own a fully transformed heritage home where every detail has been considered and executed to the highest standard. With its blend of heritage charm and contemporary luxury, 7 Clarke Street is a true showpiece of design and craftsmanship-expertly delivered by Peter Brown Custom Homes.
