238 Union Road
Surrey Hills

Peacefully and privately nestled within exquisitely landscaped gardens, this tastefully renovated, four bedroom, two bathroom California Bungalow delivers a remarkable sense of sanctuary for such a vibrant position on the cusp of Whitehorse Road. Presenting the perfect union of its original circa-1920s character with a more contemporary alfresco flow, the home culminates in whisper-quiet, north-facing outdoor dining that overlooks paved, poolside entertaining for endless hours of fun with family and friends.

Introduced by a formal front garden, the home opens to reveal finely detailed ceilings, leadlight windows and polished hardwood floors before opening to a recently renovated kitchen / meals / living where a Smeg oven / cooktop and stone benches hold pride of place. With minimal fuss, the open-plan extends outdoors to an undercover alfresco dining area, paved entertaining and a heated in-ground swimming pool that draws plenty of sun.

Both the formal lounge and a semi-attached dining room are warmed by traditional open fireplaces, whilst ducted heating, evaporative cooling and a pair of split systems combine to ensure year-round comfort. Added highlights include laundry with cellar access and a carport with a forked driveway that offers parking for another four vehicles while offering a turning circle for a safe departure into the traffic.

Walk easily to Whitehorse Road where all the cosmopolitan shopping, dining and cafes are renowned and where city-bound trams also offer an easy commute to numerous private schools, plus you have the sleepier village like charm of the Union Road café scene just down the road and adjacent to Union Railway Station which also promises easy city commuting.
