A versatile fourth bedroom/home office or sitting room is positioned at the rear and the separate kitchen with casual meals area has been upgraded with premium Miele/AEG/Liebherr appliances and features a butler’s pantry.
Additional attributes include hydronic heating throughout, multiple split system air-conditioning units, laundry facilities, automatic watering system, secure intercom entrance with remote controlled gates, extensive off-street parking plus garage.
Offering tremendous potential for renovation and expansion, this classic Californian Bungalow is situated in the esteemed Dorrington Estate.
