28 Dorothy Avenue, Glen Huntly

Seamlessly and sympathetically extended to suit the needs of modern families, this beautiful Californian bungalow has been a fixture on this leafy street for more than a hundred years. Showcasing an adaptable floorplan with enormous appeal to those who love to entertain, the interiors are enriched by period details adding warmth and charm to the contemporary lifestyle on offer.

Introduced by a shaded verandah that looks out to the colourful front garden, once inside the accommodation is crowned by lofty ceilings, while Baltic floors, picture rails and leadlight glass all nod back to the origins.

In the original part of the home are three generous bedrooms (two with robes), the largest could be an elegant lounge if preferred. Further on, the granite kitchen is finished in rich timber veneer and appointed with premium appliances, its curved design & reeded glass chosen to pay homage to the Art Deco heritage. Entertainers will love to host in the formal dining zone while stepping down, the stunning living area with 12ft panelled ceilings flows seamlessly out to a gorgeous alfresco deck set in a leafy oasis rear garden.

Parents are afforded the luxury of a garden-view master with window seat and French doors to the deck. Offering substantial walk-in wardrobing, it enjoys ensuite access to a striking bathroom with chequerboard tiles and a double shower.

More versatility comes with a home office/fifth bedroom, which has external access, while a second sparkling bathroom and large laundry are also offered along with evaporative cooling and hydronic heating. Rounding off the package is a substantial lined attic space with dropdown ladder plus both internal and garden storage and a 5000l water tank.

Midway between Ormond and Glen Huntly stations & town centres, this glorious setting is also close to EE Gunn Reserve and Kilvington Grammar School.
