Reviewing the property, this substantial Californian Bungalow offers an interesting combination of period character, generous accommodation and lifestyle features rarely found in Brunswick West. The original detailing, high ceilings and decorative fireplaces provide plenty of charm, although the various extensions have resulted in a somewhat disjointed floorplan that would benefit from a more cohesive renovation. The swimming pool, spa, sauna and separate pool house are unusual additions, offering excellent entertaining potential but also introducing ongoing maintenance considerations.
The 539m² allotment, generous bedroom accommodation and proximity to Royal Park, schools and transport are definite strengths. Recent comparable sales include 115 Pearson Street at $1.95m, 29 Halpin Street at $2m and 94 Whitby Street at $2.2m. While these properties provide relevant benchmarks for larger Brunswick West family homes, Guthrie Street's extensive accommodation and resort-style facilities need to be balanced against the renovation expenditure likely required to bring the home up to contemporary expectations.
