1281 Glen Huntly Road

Renovated and extended on a north-facing allotment of 613 sqm (approx.) this charming, solid brick, single-level and triple-fronted California Bungalow has been held and enjoyed by the same family for 28 years. Set at the quieter end of Glen Huntly Road and a short walk to Glen Huntly shopping strip and railway station, the home is terrific today with future prospects that include scope for rejuvenation, extension or redevelopment (all STCA). High decorative ceilings, leadlight windows and generous room sizes speak to the home's 1920s heritage, while an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances overlooks an open-plan extension. The family/meals room fills with northern light and steps out to a north-facing deck that catches plenty of sunshine and is perfect both for entertaining and quiet relaxation. Looking out through large north-facing windows to a relatively easy-care backyard, the open-plan has been particularly well designed for families needing a vantage point to supervise children in the backyard, while they're busy in the kitchen. Both the formal lounge and dining are freshly carpeted rooms with detailed ceilings, leadlight windows and a bay-style window that looks out upon the front garden. Previously, the lounge has been used as a 4th bedroom and can readily be reinstated as such, if needed. The primary bedroom also highlights leadlight windows, as well as a wall of built-in robes and its own ensuite, whilst the remaining bedrooms offer substantial built-in robe storage and the central bathroom features a separate wc. Added highlights include the old garage / current day store room with potential to repurpose as a home office or studio, plus there is a security alarm, ducted heating and split system air conditioning. Set behind over 18 metres of street frontage (approx.), the home's proportions and land dimensions differentiate it from the ordinary, opening the door to a range of possibilities that include capitalising on a high-exposure, high-convenience position near cafes, restaurants, bars and shopping both on Glen Huntly Road and Koornang Road, and the newly completed Carnegie Memorial Swimming Pool. City-bound trams, trains from Glen Huntly Railway Station and zoning for Carnegie Primary School and Glen Eira College tick all the boxes for a bright future.
