Character, space and genuine future potential.
Immaculate enough to enjoy as it stands and substantial enough to inspire bigger plans, this 1930s Californian bungalow pairs its authentic character with a rare quarter-acre of RMD land in a tightly held corner of Fendalton.
The 1,012sqm site immediately opens the door considerably wider than most, offering equal scope for family life from the outset, a substantial renovation, a new architectural build or a more ambitious development direction.
Picture-perfect from the pavement, the home’s weatherboard profile makes a memorable first impression, while manicured lawns and mature gardens bring further charm to an already exceptional arrival.
Moving indoors, the modernised kitchen brings the home firmly up to date between two distinct living zones, moving from a light-filled lounge with arched windows and a wood burner to an atmospheric dining and sitting room where rich red walls, timber panelling and a second wood burner within classic brick surrounds amplify its traditional character.
Three ground-floor bedrooms are joined by a sunlit fourth upstairs, while two bathrooms, a dedicated laundry, double garaging and a DVS system cover the practical requirements.
The grounds are every bit as valuable as the home, with generous lawns front and back matched by a choice of outdoor areas, moving between pergolas, a brick courtyard and rear deck, while the sheer size of the site leaves substantial territory for those pursuing a brand-new build or larger-scale development.
Prized education is firmly embedded in the address, with Fendalton School zoning, CBHS at the end of the road and CGHS within walking distance, while the university completes an educational pathway extending through to tertiary level.
With Fendalton Park and the local Farmers’ Market reached on foot, and Fendalton Mall, Westfield Riccarton and the city all close at hand, the location earns its prized reputation on every front, and from living and renovating to investing, building or developing, few positions provide stronger ground for future plans.
