20 Cudmore Street, Essendon, Vic 3040

Beyond the impeccably maintained façade of this Californian Bungalow, lies an exquisitely renovated and much-loved family home. Built in 1914 as part of the original Mar Lodge Estate, its historical grandeur is tempered by genuine warmth and grace.
Formal and informal rooms sit comfortably beside each other, with a handsome front lounge featuring a semi-bay window to the left of the wide hallway entrance, beside a room currently employed as a large home office but, with its heritage fireplace, equally suited to formal dining. 
Relaxed luxe is the vibe of a magnificent open plan living and dining zone, helmed by a sun washed kitchen boasting marble island and premium appliances (900mm oven/ gas cooktop, dishwasher). 
An elegant main bedroom (BIR’s) and adjacent guest room are serviced by a bathroom with frameless shower and polished timber vanity, while a further two upstairs bedrooms (BIR’s) access a family bathroom with deep corner tub and separate shower.  
Zoned living areas include a stair top sitting area with built-in desk and an additional dedicated study/home office.
Recessed ceiling lighting, plantation shutters and stunning new charcoal tiled flooring artfully merge with the decorative hallmarks of era specific design, such as leadlight windows and plasterwork.  
The exterior of this prestige property is every bit as beautiful, peppered with curated spots to entertain or relax. A covered al fresco with remote retractable blinds ensures all-weather outdoor dining year-round, while a charmingly lit pergola and flawlessly landscaped gardens will captivate green thumbs.
Additional amenity includes large laundry, powder, ducted vacuum, ducted heating, split systems, refrigerated and evaporative cooling, HD 360 smart security system, garden sprinkler system and bespoke garden lighting.
A double garage/workshop plus plenty of driveway parking complete a premier property in an amenity rich area that speaks for itself.
