'Bella Casa” means beautiful home in Spanish, and this stunning Californian bungalow lives up to its name. Built in the 1930 Art Deco era, the home has been lovingly restored and maintained to retain its original Spanish mission style, seamlessly infusing modern comforts and quality finishes to offer stylish living in a tranquil garden setting. Set on a generous 660m2 (approx.) allotment, within walking distance of local cafes, shopping, supermarkets and amenities, with easy access to public transport (there's a bus stop right across the road and the train station is 2 minutes away), only 3 minutes from the Ring Road, CBD and only 1.5ks from the Waterfront, this fantastic central location offers an exceptional lifestyle.

Set behind a wrought iron fence and established gardens featuring crabapple trees, the captivating facade features stucco rendering and a beautiful arched portico. Stepping inside, a wide entry hall showcases 10 foot ceilings, New Zealand kauri polished timber floors, ornate and cornice and ceiling detail, iron chandelier and spectacular Velux skylight, creating an impressive introduction to the interior. A formal lounge off the entry features Art Deco leadlight bay windows, original brick mantel and a log fireplace creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere within. The original section of the home is double brick offering great soundproofing and the internal walls are brick extending into the foundations. This area of the home accommodates three spacious bedrooms and a stunning central bathroom finished in classic subway tiles with glass shower, chic black tapware and fittings.

The French provincial style extension of the home transitions to a spacious open plan layout, with 9 foot ceilings. A high-end kitchen forms the centrepiece, featuring a long island bench, stone benchtops, quality appliances including 900mm freestanding Blanco oven and cooktop, Bosch dishwasher, excellent storage provisions including secret cupboards, and the perfect vantage point to oversee the dining, living and alfresco for effortless entertaining. The dining area includes custom built bar and storage facilities, beautiful glass chandeliers add a sophisticated touch to the space, and a gas log fire with timber mantel and marble hearth further contributes to the inviting ambience.
