This romantic, double-brick 1930's bungalow has been transformed in the half-century the current family has nurtured it. Doubled in size in a 2012 renovation, utilising bespoke bricks crafted to match the originals, 'Bundella' is now a gracious family estate on more than 2.5 gloriously landscaped acres. Opportunity for a renovation remains, with stunning floorboards beneath the carpets and all original features either enhanced or in good condition.
With side access to the extensive rear gardens, and potentially subdivision under current legislation, the home also has magnificent views from the glassed-in portico onto the sweeping greens of the Bowral Golf Course 18th hole. For a family, it offers four bedrooms plus a choice of two office areas, or for extended family living, the main house separates to three bedrooms and allows for a large fully self-contained apartment with its own entrance.
The home is true rambling magic: high decorative ceilings, oversized bedrooms, large and interesting rooms (office, sewing room, sunroom, mudrooms) a modern country kitchen (and second kitchen for apartment), and oversized picture windows that allow green views onto a garden of grand proportions designed by the landscape designer / horticulturist owner. Standout features of 'Bundella' include the magnificent and solidly built garages, which offer high decorative ceilings, skylights, and antique flourishes. They would be easily converted to another large apartment/s or studios; the quality and substance of the design and finishes is extraordinary.
Special features of note:
• Architect designed by John Spencer-Stansfield & sons, & built in 1934
• Solid, beautiful garaging for four cars which include a built-in barbeque kitchen, toilet, coffered ceilings, tiled floors, electronic safety doors and pretty picture windows with views

• Secondary access on private side road with hedging
• Established old garden includes rare plantings, collectible old roses, incredible old deciduous trees such as copper beech and century-old maple trees; woodland garden at rear includes spring wonderland of bulbs and violets
• Extensive bricked raised vegetable beds plus potting shed plus outdoor lighting
• Rare, large block in exclusive Burradoo, hidden from its neighbours
• Circular driveway announces this to be a home of note
'Bundella' is an opportunity to have one of the largest garden blocks in Burradoo. Its excellent bones and recent extension make for a very easy upgrade or renovation of the existing footprint, but it is perfectly lovely as it is. To our thinking, this is one of the most gracious opportunities in Burradoo and one of the most flexible: if you want a large family home, a home for extended family or teen living, the opportunity to consider subdivision, or the chance to turn existing solid structures into what could be a wonderful, expansive B&B (STCA), 'Bundella' must be inspected.
