A Modern Tradition.

Combine the timeless grace of a bungalow with the vision and style of a top art director and the results are outstanding.

This superb renovation takes the benefits of a prime freehold Cornwall Park location, a classic bungalow and adds the modern essentials to create a perfect home for modern living.

With an imposing street presence, the stone fence with electric gate provides security and a sense of escape as you enter your own piece of this exclusive area.

With room for four cars, and a lined double garage designed to complement the character of the bungalow there's room for 2 cars or, with French doors onto a private courtyard, potentially modify it for your own studio space.

The house opens into a graceful lounge featuring painted traditional timber paneling and original lead lights. With a log burner, or used as a home theatre, it makes for some cozy winter nights. French doors give versatility, accessing a private courtyard for intimate summer evenings with friends.

Polished timber floors flow into the informal living area, perfect for the pace of daily life.

An enviable Italian kitchen with stunning granite bench tops, a supersized island, an induction cook top, a separate gas wok, butlers sink, two ovens and plumbed in fridge provides everything you need to create amazing meals for the family and friends.

The adjacent dining area provides a heart for family life, where you can meet to discuss the day over one of your beautifully prepared meals.

This hub of the home continues on into a relaxed living area, with bi-fold French doors, opening out onto an extensive deck area, with expansive lawns beyond. The northerly aspect adds sun to the fantastic energy of the room.

The beautiful detailing continues throughout the five generous family bedrooms, all serviced by a main tiled bathroom and a guest powder room that could feature on the cover of any design magazine. The Master suite includes a similarly stylish tiled bathroom which enjoys its own set of French doors opening to the north for morning sun.

The north facing also means that the gardens flourish, and with 946m2 of land, there's room for your own organic vege patch and the kids to kick a ball.

Zoned for Cornwall Park Primary, and conveniently close to some of the city's best private schools there are plenty of options when it comes to providing the best education for your kids.

And with public transport easily accessible you can be in the heart of the city in under 20 minutes.
