12 Acacia Street, Camberwell

A prized Camberwell address, approximately 697sqm of land and a Californian bungalow that keeps revealing more. Behind its charming weatherboard façade, this four-bedroom home delivers soaring 3m ceilings and room for the whole family to spread out. Fresh paint and new carpet give the interiors an immediate lift, while the substantial allotment leaves plenty of options open.

The welcoming entry leads to a lounge warmed by a fireplace, with sliding doors through to the separate dining room. Beyond, the large U-shaped kitchen offers ample bench space, a stainless-steel dishwasher, upright cooker and breakfast bar, all under a skylight that pours in natural light. It looks across the spacious living and meals area with a wall of windows framing the greenery. A door opens to an elevated deck where a towering palm tree lends a hint of the tropics. The backyard delivers a broad sweep of lawn beneath established trees, a cubby house for the kids and scope to get creative with the garden.

Three of the four bedrooms have built-in robes, with one enjoying direct access to a semi-ensuite bathroom. A second bathroom, separate WC and walk-in laundry cater to the rest of the household, while ducted heating and split system air conditioning keep the seasons in check.

And then there’s downstairs. An enormous rumpus and entertainment room, complete with its own powder room, is ready for teenage takeovers, movie marathons or games nights at full volume. With the bedrooms well out of earshot, nobody upstairs will mind.

A garden shed, clothesline, gated side access and driveway parking for two cars take care of the practical side.

Also zoned for Hartwell Primary School, the location puts Lynden Park and Highfield Park a short stroll away. Burwood Village, Camberwell shopping, Hartwell Station and trams are all within easy reach, along with St Dominic’s Primary School and Siena College.

Classic character, serious family space and a substantial slice of land. There’s a lot to love here.
