Bridge Street Bungalow Delights

The lake-side, Bridge Street location alone will see some serious competition for this new listing. Sitting pretty along an inner-city avenue of Elms, number 112 has the added advantage of being absolutely gorgeous.<br/><br/>Take one Californian Bungalow, polished to perfection. The original features shine against a gleaming white colour scheme, deeming the vintage home even better than new. Note the original leadlight entry doors and delicate stained-glass windows. The 10-foot ceilings with exquisite roses. The picture rails and polished floorboards. Yes, this is one to fall for.<br/><br/>Take the garden path to a classic front porch, laced with red geraniums; perfect for morning coffee or a little evening spritz. <br/><br/>A wide entrance hall welcomes you home. Two bedrooms have built-in-robes and loads of charm thanks to all those period details.<br/><br/>The front loungeroom retains its original open fireplace with high decorate timber mantle. The vendors have styled this space beautifully to get you dreaming of making it your own. <br/><br/>The open-plan kitchen/dining is designed for modern life. A breakfast bar, pantry cupboard and stainless-steel appliances feature. Although it's the second open fireplace that takes the cake.<br/><br/>A renovated bathroom gleams, while the laundry, with second shower, is tucked behind a cool sliding barn door. Use the rear vestibule as a study space or sitting room, overlooking the back garden.<br/><br/>Outside, a small merbau deck softens the step into the yard, with its 3.4 x 5.4 metre shed. This is where your ideas come to the fore. Add a pool and entertainment space or capitalise on this top location and build onto the home with a new extension (Subject to council approval of course) – there is loads of space either side for a carport or garage that will still allow rear access.<br/><br/>What else? There is ducted evaporative cooling, ducted gas floor heating, a new Colorbond roof, plus new fences on all four sides.<br/><br/>Do the daily Lake Weeroona loop. Walk to work and school. Enjoy the local cafes, pubs and restaurants. Forget California; a Bendigo bungalow is where the heart lies.<br/>
