40 Morton Avenue, Lewisham

This charm-laden C1922 California Bungalow is completely endearing with its picturesque street appeal and superb setting tucked at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac. Providing more than meets the eye, an architectural extension and renovation some years ago has created an immensely liveable floor plan with dual living spaces, a communal kitchen and stylish appointments.

Its glorious period features have been restored and embraced including high ornate ceilings, superb lighting and wide-planked timber floorboards. The lounge and dining are generous and open plan warmed with an ambient gas fireplace. Perfect for families and friends to congregate, the kitchen with island dining bench, stone and timber benchtops, ample storage and a gas cooktop merges effortlessly with the casual dining. A built-in day bed takes advantage of the sunny north aspect and is a wonderful space to relax.

Bi-folds open to the deck with gas point for the barbeque, award winning gardens and rear laundry with powder room. The residence boasts two substantial bedroom suites, one with access to the front porch and a wall of bookshelves. Additional features include a dropdown ladder for attic access, contemporary bathroom and concept plans held for an upper level extension. Nestled on the cusp of Dulwich Hill and Marrickville, indulge in the best of the inner-west, steps to the rail, bus, village cafes and shops, Lewisham Public School and Morton and Marrickville Parks.
