Given a fresh lease on life, this stylish two bedroom Californian bungalow retains the high ceilings, polished floorboards and ornate cornices reminiscent of the period, but has updated features and colour palette. The main bedroom has a built-in wardrobe; both bedrooms have ceiling fans and split-system and share an immaculately renovated bathroom. The lounge room, with its original period fireplace, is adjacent to the family-meals area and kitchen with stainless-steel cooker and white cabinetry. The large backyard comes with a big deck area in need of a bit of TLC, established gardens and a large grassed area. A short walk to Albion train station, Selwyn Park and Albion Primary School, this cosy slice of central Albion is likely to appeal to downsizers or those looking to expand on the sizable 697-square-metre block, subject to council approval.
