Sail into summer with a spa deck and north-facing additions
With a focus on fun and relaxed entertaining, this renovated and extended three-bedroom bungalow on 743sqm is within easy reach of everything, yet quietly tucked away in a beautiful Jacaranda-lined street.

It’s homely, unpretentious and inviting; a place where family and friends can spread out in generous open-plan living spaces that spill outdoors onto a sensational sail-shaded deck, leading into gorgeous gardens with fruit trees and a sizeable veggie patch.

Fun and food intermingle on the deck where bliss is a gas-heated spa for six and firing up the barbie is easy breezy with a mains gas supply. Indoor and outdoor spaces are wired for sound and you have only to open the French doors to enjoy cooling breezes from the home’s ducted evaporative air conditioning.

Polished Baltic floors are perfect for the rough and tumble of family life while high, ornate ceilings and some vibrant leadlight further enhance the character vibe.

Generous storage is also a signature of this home. With one of three queen-size bedrooms boasting an entire wall of glass-fronted robes and hallways featuring huge banks of multi-purpose cupboards; clutter will be a thing of the past.

Sociable cooks will love the kitchen which is companionably close to indoor and outdoor dining areas, with a breakfast bar for short order satisfaction. Peacock blue cabinetry is fun and flirty while solid timber counters and sleek stainless steel appliances are the real deal when it comes to prepping and cooking gourmet fare.

The adjacent family room – an original space incorporated into the 1996 architect-designed additions – features a slow combustion stove that, combined with premium insulation, is efficient in heating the whole house.

The full family bathroom is also warm and friendly with mellow terracotta tiling and there is a convenient second toilet off the laundry.

Inside extras include instant gas hot water and an alarm system while, outside in the backyard, apricots, miniature peaches and espaliered apples will soon be in season; with lemons, limes, mandarins and oranges filling the fruit bowl at other times of the year.

Complete with a garage/workshop, tandem carport, timber cubby and automated garden dripper system, this obliging bungalow with a profound sense of home is also walking distance to Westbourne Park Primary, Big W and Woolies, the corner hardware store and convenient bus travel into the city.

This is definitely one to put at the top of your viewing list!
