Architectural design stylishly blends renovation with evocative original details of this Californian bungalow, the ideal place to raise your children and entertain your friends!

With spacious interiors that flow to a large sun-drenched rear courtyard, it has been designed to encourage relaxed living.

This beautifully restored and extended home is situated in Rodd Point, a sought-after enclave which contains just nine streets, off Henley Marine Drive, close to the Bay Walk and bus services and within easy driving distance of shops at Five Dock, Leichhardt or Birkenhead Point, local primary and private schools and many parks.

Like any brilliant family home, the focal point is the fabulous kitchen area with its adjoining loggia which flows through bi-fold doors to the sunny courtyard with its charming water feature.

Other downstairs accommodation comprises three double bedrooms with built-ins, main bathroom, formal lounge with magnificent domed ceiling and laundry with extra bathroom.

Be prepared to be completely blown away by the upstairs addition: a huge master bedroom with ensuite, walk-in wardrobe and generous balcony with water glimpses.

Contemporary features include superb black and white tile floors, deep pile carpets upstairs, air-conditioning and designer colours throughout.

Charming period features include tuck pointed bricks, tessellated tiles on verandah, elegant easy care parterre garden, picture rails and leadlights.

The single lock-up garage has ample storage and adjoining carport.
