FLANKED by tall hedges and featuring a private resort-style backyard, this fully renovated Deepdene charmer is an inner-city oasis.
Jellis Craig selling agent Simon Lord said the 1920s California bungalow had been revamped and extended about a decade ago, and its surrounds landscaped by award-winning designer Nathan Burkett a few years later.

Classic and contemporary styles now meld seamlessly inside the four-bedroom house at 35 Barnsbury Rd, and the northwest-facing backyard offers a self-cleaning pool, spa and pergola featuring a full alfresco kitchen.
“Period features blend with modern luxuries — they got that synergy down pat,” Mr Lord said.
“We just don’t get enough of these sorts of properties in (tightly held) Deepdene.”
The low-maintenance home’s single-level floorplan also features two living rooms: a stylish lounge with a gas fireplace and an open-plan area with a stone kitchen and floor-to-ceiling windows looking out to the striking yard.
The property is set to go under the hammer on August 18, with a $2.5 million asking price.
