Statement of Significance
A characteristic timber Californian Bungalow built in about 1925, with a mature tree in the nature strip. It is one of two linked groups. It is historically significant to Maroondah with others of these groups as a representative embodiment of rural family life in Croydon in the 1920s, after the Great War. It is architecturally significant as a representative example of this domestic style. Most of the anachronistic alterations are reversible.

House - Physical Description 1
A relatively uncomplicated double-fronted timber Californian Bungalow, with a gabled roof facing, clad with unglazed terra-cotta Marseilles tiles. Upper gables are timbered, with lattice vents at top. Windows are proud of the wall, double-hung sashes with small panes(?). A hipped-roof verandah is in the angle and partly extends across the front at right. Rafters are exposed, there is a plain red brick chimney and a small window sits next to the entry, in the angle. There is a mature tree in the Wesley Court nature strip.
House - Physical Conditions
Excellent.
House - Intactness
Recent gentrified additions include anachronistic picket fencing, verandah posts and valence, and turned finials, all in an anachronistic Edwardian style. The garage is also recent.
