A seamless blend of past & present defines this beautifully preserved & thoughtfully updated 1920s residence, positioned just a stone’s throw from Ormond’s thriving village.
Renovated top-to-toe by its current owners to accommodate modern family living, the California Bungalow is flanked by its original striking façade, introduced by a traditionally-inspired & meticulously maintained garden. Period hallmarks of original leadlight windows & soaring 3m detailed ceilings are further enhanced by contemporary yet sympathetic additions of blonde floorboards & top-of-the-rage appointments including central heating & cooling.
A long sweeping hallway anchoring four robed bedrooms (one with a luxuriously updated ensuite & walk-in robe), a formal living room, skylit study & large family bathroom with separate powder room culminates in a vast open-plan living & dining hub, crowned by a soaring 5m pitched ceiling & lined with wall-to-wall windows for an abundance of natural light. A gourmet kitchen of stone & gold-hardware finishes is equipped with high-end Neff appliances of dual ovens (one steam), induction cooktop & an integrated Miele dishwasher, & is complimented by a long galley-style butler’s pantry with laundry facilities & outdoor access.
An outdoor entertainer’s oasis features a covered dining zone lined with low-maintenance composite decking, complete with a built-in gas BBQ suite with prep bench & fridge, strip heaters & retractable sides to create a fully enclosed outdoor room. Surrounding the deck: lush garden space, a solid-brick fireplace & solar-heated pool/spa hybrid complete with an energy-efficient solar mat, electric pump booster & jets. Generous storage throughout (including a full-length attic storage room), security detection system, off-street parking behind lock-up gates & climate control of hydronic heating, central cooling & ceiling fans throughout complete this artfully renovated family home.
This excellent family-focussed location is further enhanced by its proximity to Booran Road’s café & shopping strip, Ormond train station, EE Gunn Reserve & close to the best of private & public schools nearby including Caulfield South primary school zone.
