Straight out of a storybook, this perfectly positioned turn-of the-century brick bungalow is ready to write the next chapter of its rich history.

The freestanding home has been impeccably maintained, with its stunning original features proudly on show, alongside updates that provide comfortable contemporary living.

Snuggle in beside the fireplaces in the gorgeous high-ceilinged lounge and separate dining rooms, share coffee in the sunshine on the picturesque front balcony, or entertain in a choice of two alfresco areas, while children play on the lawn, amid manicured gardens.

A prime corner position provides access to a double lock-up garage, and showcases the home's delightful features. In an enclave dating back to 1914, once known as 'Lydham Hill Estate', this special property is in a quiet residential street surrounded by other period homes. Stroll to express city trains, grocers and cafes, just 800 metres away, and enjoy nearby Lady Robinson's Beach, all within 13km of the CBD.
