Californian Charmer on 493sqm in Prized Elsternwick Locale

Utterly charming on approximately 493sqm in one of the area's most sought-after pockets, this long-held, three-bedroom Californian Bungalow carries captivating character and significant upside, whether you move straight in, lease while plans take shape, renovate or transform the site entirely (STCA).

Baltic pine floors and high ceilings run throughout, giving the interior a warmth complemented by original features, such as the bathroom's pedestal sink and brick detailing left by the previous wood-fired stove. The central kitchen and family room, now modernised and fitted with solid timber cabinetry and stainless steel appliances, opens through a single door to a red-brick terrace and established gardens edged in bluestone, with lovely birch trees and a towering palm complementing a range of seasonal colour and potential for a grand-scale extension if desired.

The three bedrooms are well-proportioned, one with an ornate open fireplace, whilst additions include a powder room to the rear, ducted heating, split-system air conditioning, rainwater tank, workshop/shed, and ample parking, including a single carport. With charm to fall in love with and scope for a fine family future, it sits within a first-class location, footsteps from Harleston Park, a choice of elite schools including Caulfield Grammar, popular local cafes, Elsternwick Village, and both the number 3 and 16 tram routes, placing the best of the neighbourhood well within reach.
