On coveted McKinnon Hill, this substantial five bedroom plus study two bathroom timber Californian Bungalow provides comprehensive family living in a beautiful enclave of established greenery. Ready for the next family of custodians, this much loved home has undergone multiple architect designed changes in its 38 year history with the current owners.
