The owners fondly remember the 29th September, 1972 when they first moved into this Californian bungalow. It is a testament to the meticulous care they have invested in it for over 52 years. Today it stands ready for a new generation to create a unique family living environment underscored by its outstanding location. From the splashes of colour framing the broad front lawn through to the immense east facing rear lawns and tiered gardens, every aspect has been scrupulously maintained over time. The front veranda, framed in sandstone and inlaid with a mosaic of tessellated tiles, leads to elegant interiors enhanced by original features crafted when the home was built in 1927. The hallway is flanked by generously proportioned bedrooms and a broad principal living area melding formal lounge and dining, bathed in natural light thanks to its northeast aspect. This flows to a sundrenched family or rumpus room leading to the spacious kitchen. A broad timber deck overlooks the idyllic lawns and gardens, the perfect, secure setting for outdoor play throughout the seasons. This offers the immediate scope to move in then add a series of refinements and enhancements to tailor all the elements that create a distinctly beautiful home. The level 695.6sqm block plus the renowned integrity of homes built in the 1920s also provides the platform to expand the footprint, add another level and add distinct elements of contemporary flair. This expanse also offers the rare opportunity to design and create a stunning new architectural statement in keeping with the prestige of this serene and premier address. • Sandstone foundations, double brick build integrity • Broad hallway entrance, free flow of living space • High ceilings with original intricate cornices & roses • Stunning, lustrous dark timber joinery and doors • Double interior doors with leadlight windows • Sunlit separate kitchen, gas, pantry breakfast nook • Large internal laundry with discreet guest toilet • Cork-floor sunroom, ideal rumpus/entertaining area • Square timber alfresco deck, under home storage area • Spacious main, exquisite bay window bespoke seating • Original picture rails and fireplace, pristine bathroom • Carport & lock-up garage, option for office or workshop • Rainwater tank, serene gardens, lawns & flower beds • 800-metre stroll to Artarmon Station & 10km to CBD • 2 traffic lights to the CBD & M1, 2.1km to Chatswood CBD • Catchment for Willoughby Girls' High, 1.5km to Artarmon Public • Near private bus pick-ups to array of leading private schools * All information contained herein is gathered from sources we consider to be reliable, however we cannot guarantee or give any warranty to the information provided.
