A well regarded pocket in Wavell Heights, just north of Shaw Park is where you’ll find this single level home on a low maintenance 733 sqm block, the facade reflecting the style of a California Bungalow.
The original cavity brick residence has been refurbished and extended to create an electric combination of contemporary and traditional design. One is welcomed by a formal entrance with a charming sitting room at the north east corner. An elegant dining room links both wings of the home. Two generous bedrooms with robes are located at the northern wing with a generous main bathroom and hall linen. The home office has a generous storage room alongside, and if the need arises, could be transformed to a neat fourth bedroom with robe space. The laundry and powder room have been cleverly placed in the design.
The rear of the home incorporates open plan living and combines well with the north south aspect. The kitchen is positioned to take full advantage of serving both front and rear living/dining spaces and incorporates a generous island bench, perfect for food preparation, storage and entertaining. The rear living/dining spaces flow via timber bi fold doors to a private covered southern deck with striking hardwood posts and plantation shutters. An added awning covers 50% of the in ground spa that is located directly off the deck.
The master bedroom sits at the southern end and features a well designed ensuite with double shower and a separate custom built walk in robe.
A double shed with roller doors and bi fold windows provides for either additional storage, an art studio or workshop. There is side access for a trailer on the west side.

The combination of the home and access to the park creates an ideal lifestyle
