Authentic 1930s style, brilliantly located

This decorative bow-windowed California Bungalow, held and conserved by the same family since 1954, features a wealth of 1930s detail - leadlights, ornate plasterwork, fretwork and light-fittings. In comfortable condition, the home offers wonderful scope for renovation or the creation of a new residence (STCA) on a large block with easy right-of-way access, with a tram stop at the door and close to vibrant Miller Street cafes, schools and the Preston Market. This welcoming time capsule comprises adjoining living and dining rooms, 2 double bedrooms, serviceable kitchen/meals with original Parkinson range and scullery, neat bathroom and laundry, and includes a private back garden bordered by a ROW-access garage.

Owners Notes

What we love about this home:

We love our home because it was built in the 1930’s with lots of unique features.

We have retained the beautiful decorative ceilings, art deco light fittings and the spacious large rooms. Our house also has leadlight windows and doors that reflect coloured light throughout the day.

We have fond memories of growing up in this home, of a happy childhood playing in our backyard and riding up and down the laneway at the back of the house. We also had a park nearby and the Merri Creek to explore with our friends.

What we love about this suburb:

West Preston is a wonderful, vibrant suburb with a lot of beautiful homes built in the early 1900’s.

We are able to stroll down to Miller Street cafes and shops, or travel not far too High Street with all the fantastic eateries and the Preston Market. Northland Shopping Centre and Northcote Plaza is also within easy reach. The city is a short drive or easily accessed by trams. Walk down Kendall Street to the ‘swinging bridge’ which crosses the Merri Creek or explore the beautiful natural surroundings.
