A cracker of a California bungalow, “Kingower” retains all the beautiful period features such as leadlight windows, ornate plaster ceilings and cornices, stained-timber picture rails, skirts and sash window/door frames and a fireplace. It’s been transformed into a stylish residence with polished floorboards throughout (including bedrooms) especially on show in the sprawling living hub at the back. The entry hall is flanked by an open lounge room, four bedrooms and smart bathroom. The main bedroom has a fireplace, walk-in robe and en suite. The living hub, with a great bar, surround-sound speakers and seamless garden access, incorporates a well-designed kitchen with granite benchtops, island bench and the whole suite of stainless-steel appliances. The backyard is dedicated to relaxation, with expansive decking, a pergola and contemporary plantings.
