This Californian bungalow was built in 1928 and has had only two owners in that time. Helene and Stephen Kemp have lived here for 26 years and love the character of their home and its private garden sanctuary.

The snow-capped peaks of Mount Bogong and Falls Creek are on display from this much-loved family home.
