Perfectly placed for families in the heart of Sumner Village, this 1920s bungalow is a testament to charm and comfort, where the authenticity of its era is met with modern ease.
Holding true to its character, this home remains a showcase of originality, from its weatherboard cladding and polished timber floors to its leadlight windows and high ceilings. A thoughtful renovation in 2005 introduced contemporary comforts into its timeless framework, with updates including a refreshed and open plan living/kitchen area and upgraded bathroom, partial double glazing, and comprehensive insulation, all while preserving its aesthetic integrity.
The spacious living area incorporates the sunroom, creating an expansive space where family life naturally unfolds. At the heart of this domain, the well-appointed kitchen-with its granite benchtop, generous island, and 900mm electric oven with gas hob-is perfectly equipped for everything from casual meals to family celebrations.
A timber-panelled hallway leads to three bedrooms, including the master with double wardrobes and French doors to the deck, while the family bathroom, a laundry and a sweep of heating solutions, including a gas fire, heat pump, panel heaters and HRV system, complete the layout.
The living room opens through bi-fold doors to a northwest-facing deck, patio, and garden, providing a relaxed setting that soaks in the sunshine and enjoys views across the hillside.
Offering creative potential, the garage has been reimagined as a studio but can be reverted with ease, complemented by secure off-street parking and a practical carport.
Just steps from Sumner Primary School and its pool, with the beach and local shops nearby, this home offers a unique and instantly appealing opportunity, ready for immediate possession and its next chapter. Our overseas vendor requires an immediate sale.

Auction Thursday 31 October from 11am, Level 2, 76 Hereford Street (Unless brought forward)
