“ ‘The Pebbles’ is of architectural
importance to the State of Victoria”
(Vic. Heritage Data)
‘The Pebbles’ presents bold elevations on 2 street fronts.
So named for its distinctive white pebbled pillars and for the
pebbled bands on its chimneys, it is believed to be the
prototype of the Australian ‘Californian Bungalow’.
‘The Pebbles’ is of importance for its design excellence, being
one of Victoria’s best and most distinctive suburban
Californian Bungalows.
Huge double front doors with leadlight panels opens onto a
large entrance foyer which has 2 superb fretwork arches. On either
side of the foyer is a stunning living room with bay window and a
majestic diningroom, both with high decorative ceilings. The home
has 3 bedrooms and informal familyroom with both a woodfire heater
and gas log heater.
The kitchen which has been refurbished, is large enough to accommodate
a meals table and opens onto a delightfully secluded courtyard.
A sunroom at the rear adjoins the bathroom, laundry and toilet and overlooks
the very large rear garden with its huge sleepout and double garage, all of
which can be accessed from Geelong Road.
Largely unchanged with its solid timber doors, fireplaces, leadlight windows,
magnificent Baltic pine floorboards and beautiful timber features, both inside
and out, ‘The Pebbles’ is a property of great significance.
