From the flourishing Feijoa tree of its rose-laden front yard and its Parisian imported entry doors, to the Jarrah boards within; this beauty of a bungalow is something special in a suburb to match.

Nestled neatly between Tusmore and Toorak Gardens, the tightly held suburb of Heathpool enjoys its relative anonymity on the doorstep of Marryatville High School and Tusmore Park.

And that’s why this expertly extended, 1925-built home represents the rarest of opportunities on a prized 1236sqm block.

There will always be something special about the 3.3-metre-high ceilings, robust timber architraves, original fireplaces and Jarrah floors of the Californian bungalow.

Countless hours went into restoring the European oak and cast iron of that front door – it travelled from the other side of the globe to be here, and makes for a stunning entrance alongside those original features.

Beauty is also well served in the formal lounge and dining room; a versatile double-act featuring two fireplaces and a quaint reading nook.

Four bedrooms find their own anonymity in a wing headlined by an upgraded bathroom, a bedroom with its own sunroom, and a master with ensuite and walk-in robe.

The best upgrade of all is the open-plan extension, where family and friends can entertain for hours.

Master your culinary pursuits in a two-pack kitchen with a dishwasher, St. George gas cooktop/oven, walk-in pantry, and breakfast bar.

In the warmer months, dining under the pergola will be customary and comes with views of a rear yard that keeps going and going…

After all, this is one big slice of a special suburb. Welcome home to Heathpool.
