Description: Enviably located at the cul-de-sac and parkland end of a beautiful plane tree-lined street, this substantial brick Californian bungalow (c1929) on an impressive 720sqm approx. north-facing rear allotment is offered for the first time in almost four decades highlighting both its rarity and enduring family appeal. A classic façade creates a distinguished presence in a prestigious Deepdene pocket providing excellent access to village cafes, walking trails, trams and Canterbury and Kew schools. A wide central hallway introduces an extensive single-level interior with polished hardwood floorboards, decorative fretwork and ducted heating setting a tone of refinement before a large main bedroom with a bay window outlook that features built-in robes and a private ensuite. A gracious formal lounge room (ornamental fireplace) enjoys a similar bay window outlook, and flows through to a wonderful dining room including inset timber cabinetry providing sub-floor wine cellar access. Further accommodation is quietly arranged toward the rear comprising two additional bedrooms (BIRs), served by an immaculate family bathroom and a full-size laundry with a handy drying cabinet. A superb kitchen features a Smeg induction cooktop, Neff double ovens including microwave/oven, Blanco dishwasher and a Zip boiling water tap, while an adjoining light-filled family living room with split-system air-conditioning and a built-in gas fireplace offers exceptional comfort. Perfect for children, pets and entertaining, an undercover deck overlooks a deep, level north garden with a studio/workshop, while there's also ample off-street parking, rear ROW and no heritage overlay opening the door to exciting future options (STCA). Surrounded by leading primary/secondary and elite private schools, this tightly-held family property sits in a highly sought-after locale near blue-ribbon lifestyle assets including Whitehorse Road shopping, Balwyn cinema, parks and transport.
