Delightful period property in outstanding location

Fast becoming an absolute rarity – this Californian Bungalow in popular Gladstone Street, Warragul is brimming with endless possibilities.

This property really does have it all –

an inner town location near every conceivable convenience the town offers

748m2 allotment on the fringe of Warragul’s commercially zoned property belt

rear lane access to a fully enclosed yard with many features

the charming characteristics which make Californian Bungalow homes so appealing

The three bedroom home, in many ways, is like stepping back in time, with so many original features intact and in excellent condition.

Outside, the weatherboard home also highlights the typical gabled roofline, timber and brick verandah balustrades, timber fret work and a mature garden setting so typical of the style.

There has been some modernisation inside – updates in the kitchen and additions like a rear alfresco and extensive shedding in the yard – but the bones and architectural detail of the home are generally untouched, offering an exciting prospect!

Centred around an entrance hallway from the enclosed front porch, there are three large bedrooms along the northern side of the home and a formal lounge and large eat-in kitchen opposite, all accentuated by Art Nouveau inspired features like leaded double hung windows grouped together, timber floors, classic panelled mouldings on the high ceilings, picture rails, timber window and door frames stained dark to contrast the lighter coloured plaster walls.

Wide sills are gorgeous on the windows inside – beautiful features usually lost in modern design.

An open fire place and hearth in the front lounge is another distinctive feature and despite the modernisation in the kitchen and dining room to include lovely cabinetry, dishwasher and flooring, many of the original features are still clear such as the chimney, mantle, wall panelling and larder.

A mudroom and laundry across the rear open to a large covered alfresco and deck which then spill into the garden and this area, in particular, offers great potential for any future extension to the home.

There is also a steel garden outhouse and a complex of sheds accessed from both Gladstone Street and a rear lane which include a double garage, games room or ideal home office and extensive workshop/storage space.

Renovation, extension, investment and beyond – see for yourself the unlimited possibilities.
