There are homes that impress. And then there are homes that leave you speechless in the best of ways. 83 Fowlds Avenue is the latter - a charming bungalow exterior that gives nothing away, right up until the moment you step inside and find yourself standing beneath a double-peak cathedral ceiling, fully clad in wainscoting timber panels, soaring above a considered and elegant living room to live out the most blissful of family moments. This is the work of award-winning architect Michael Cooper, and it shows in every line.
The extension is the centrepiece - and it is genuinely extraordinary. Cathedral ceilings at full double pitch, timber wrapping peak-to-peak, and a quality of light that shifts throughout the day in ways that make the space feel alive. This is not a renovation that adds square metres. It is one that redefines how a family actually lives.
The open-plan kitchen, dining and living zone flows seamlessly - a space as beautiful for a Tuesday night family dinner as it is for a Saturday evening with a full table of guests.
Working as well as it looks, four well-proportioned bedrooms provide genuine flexibility across family stages. The master suite is a proper retreat - generous walk-in wardrobe, beautifully appointed ensuite, and the quiet that comes from considered moments of luxury. The built-in window seat is a daily nook to enjoy a moment of peace. A separate family bathroom services the remaining bedrooms, while the fully dedicated laundry is the stuff all parents dream of - wall-to-wall storage, a long central bench for the ultimate laundry taskforce. Your "get it all done" zone, delivered with finesse.
Storage has been thought through carefully. As has the generous off-street parking and carport, tucked discreetly down the side of the home and secured by an automatic gate.
This is an incredibly tightly held pocket of Sandringham, elevated on the northern slopes and an easy walk to Lord Kitchener, Taco Loco Cantina and The Roll. It's all happening here in the best possible way. What's really telling is how often people simply move within the neighbourhood - upgrading, downsizing, or shifting just across the street. It speaks volumes about the strength of the community and how much people love living here.
You are moments from the easy rhythm of inner-west living. Sandringham and Kingsland Villages are within striking distance, as is Westfield for a quick shop or an afternoon at the movies. Zoned for the incredibly popular Edendale School, Balmoral Intermediate, Kowhai Intermediate and Mt Albert Grammar- education is covered from the first day of kindy to the school leavers' dinner.
Only being offered for sale as our owners have emigrated to Australia.
Approximately 180m² of floor area. A home this complete, in a location this connected, at an architectural standard this high, does not present itself twice. A serious dose of architectural restraint and precision - reinventing the way families live. Timeless, tailored, and totally unforgettable.
