Big on space and big on value, this generous California Bungalow is ideal for first-home buyers or savvy investors seeking more house, more potential, and more character than you might expect in this price range.

Step inside to discover well-proportioned rooms filled with natural light and polished timber floors. The home has been partially renovated and features a large, custom-designed kitchen that any avid cook would love, with extensive bench space, abundant cabinetry, and a large pantry. The kitchen seamlessly flows into a bright living area - perfect for cozy evenings binge-watching your favourite shows.

Four generously-sized bedrooms are featured, all equipped with ceiling fans, and two with split-system air-conditioning to ensure year-round comfort. The master bedroom comes with a walk-through robe and private access to a bathroom that includes both a shower and a bath. While it's functional as is, there's further potential to transform this space into a luxurious ensuite retreat - just look at the stunning main bathroom for inspiration, with its elegant tiles and modern fittings. A dedicated laundry area completes the practical layout.

Flexibility is a major drawcard in this home. For investors, the four spacious bedrooms should provide strong rental potential, especially in this high-demand area. For families, the front bedroom can easily serve as a formal living room, allowing the open-plan area to be used for children's play or family time. If you work from home, you'll appreciate the comfort and space of multiple air-conditioned rooms that can double as productive home offices.
