39 Penang Avenue

After four carefully considered extensions and 36 years in the hands of one family, this C1925 character bungalow emerges in the best shape of its life on a 700sqm (approx) plot with a resort-like rear that feels three worlds away from the CBD. Instead, this 5-bedroom crowd-pleaser sits on arguably Colonel Light Gardens' leafiest street, setting the perfect scene for this solar-powered haven with a lagoon-like pool and a veil of lush garden. Enduring double brick bones, high ceilings, ornate fireplaces and Baltic pine floors define the original portion of this periodically updated, ducted-comforted home with two modern bathrooms. A light-filled formal lounge marks the transition to a vast open-plan rear addition that draws the eye to its timeless provincial style kitchen and gardens beyond via expansive glazing. Timber tops, a gas cooktop, dishwasher, island/breakfast bar and loads of storage make the kitchen as functional as it is beautiful. Step out and onto the travertine pavers of a pavilion with a full kitchen, fireplace, servery/bar and cafe blinds that close to make it a room in its own right, steps front that heated pool. Those bill-busting panels and battery, dual carport, additional off-street parking and ducted AC top of this sublimely practical, always comforting home within a pause of quality schools, shopping options, reserves, city, hills and coast. You really can have it all.
