64 Neale Street Kennington, VIC 3550

A rare and refined offering in one of Kennington's most tightly held blue-chip pockets, this fully renovated Federation-style California Bungalow-aptly named "Carmel"-delivers an exceptional blend of heritage charm and modern-day luxury on an expansive 1,309sqm (approx.) allotment.

Behind its captivating façade, the home immediately impresses with breathtaking period features, including soaring 14-foot ceilings, exquisite stained-glass windows, ornate detailing, decorative fireplaces, and polished timber floors. These timeless elements have been meticulously preserved and enhanced through a comprehensive, high-quality renovation, resulting in a home that seamlessly fuses old-world elegance with contemporary comfort.

The thoughtfully designed floor plan offers four generous bedrooms and two stylish bathrooms, providing flexibility for growing families or those seeking space to spread out. The master suite is privately positioned with its own ensuite, while additional bedrooms are well-proportioned and serviced by a central bathroom. Multiple living zones-including a formal lounge, expansive dining area, and light-filled sunroom-create a versatile environment for both relaxed family living and entertaining.

At the heart of the home, the updated kitchen is both functional and refined, complete with an induction cooktop, excellent storage, and connection to the main living and dining spaces. Natural light floods the interiors throughout, enhancing the home's warmth and sense of openness.

Extensive upgrades ensure peace of mind and long-term comfort, including full restumping with concrete stumps, complete rewiring with meter upgrade, new stormwater connection to the curb, several new windows and doors, reverse-cycle Mitsubishi heating and cooling, and quality ceiling fans throughout.

Set amongst beautifully established, drought-tolerant gardens, the outdoor space is as impressive as the home itself. The substantial allotment provides endless opportunity-whether it be the addition of a pool, shedding, or even a second dwelling/dual occupancy (STCA). A large carport, workshop, and additional storage further enhance the property's practicality and appeal.

Positioned within walking distance to elite schools, parklands, La Trobe University, Kennington Reservoir, and just minutes to the Bendigo CBD, this is a lifestyle location that consistently performs and remains in high demand.

Properties of this calibre-offering scale, character, and a premium inner-city address-are rarely offered. Carmel represents a truly unique opportunity to secure a statement home with both immediate appeal and future potential.
