17 Westminster Street, Oakleigh

Built in 1927 and beautifully kept ever since by just two families, this freestanding California Bungalow is pretty as a picture. Home to a fortunate few and awaiting its next generation, this fine residence has been thoughtfully updated throughout bringing it to today’s modern comfort while maintaining its heritage soul. In good company and in a sought-after pocket of Oakleigh that’s close enough yet far enough to offer both convenience and peace for the family.

Welcomed by a grand double door foyer adorned with ornate fretwork, the home boasts a spacious front formal living room through to a joyfully bright kitchen zone overlooking a generous family living and dining room. The kitchen is built with quality wood joinery that’s graciously designed around the original brick hearth and appointed with a 900mm Falcon oven with gas cooktop, including wok and electric fan forced double ovens, Asko dishwasher and Blumotion drawers. French doors open onto a deep veranda spilling onto a manicured garden with zoned spaces that pleasantly compliment each other all framed with established weeping trees for shade and privacy.

Also features three bedrooms served by a heritage style bathroom with original iron clawfoot bath, a separate laundry with yard access, gas ducted heating, ducted cooling, large attic storage and two discreet storage sheds. Retains Baltic Pine floors, original joinery including picture rails, strapped ceilings and architraves, iron fireplaces, and stain glass windows.
