Murrumbeena VIC 3163

Nestled behind a beautifully broad 30m approx. frontage, the gracious proportions of this early Murrumbeena home have played host to only four families since its construction in the c.1920's. In the same careful hands for more than twenty-five years, its rich character and warm family personality have been preserved and improved by an architect designed renovation that has introduced modern functionality to its glorious yesteryear charm. The result is a wonderfully inviting family environment distinguished by generous proportions, abundant natural light and tranquil views of the surrounding cottage garden. Behind its leafy verandah entry, a wide hall introduces early dimensions that retain their high ceilings, leadlight windows and original Baltic Pine floors. Bay windows and magnificent original OFPs complement an enchanting sitting room, formal dining domain and substantial open plan family spaces that enjoy garden outlooks before stepping out to a sweeping corner deck designed for undercover alfresco entertaining aside a giant Mulberry Tree and northern rear garden. Five spacious bedrooms are served by two bathrooms including the retreat style main with gas fire, WIR, ensuite and private garden deck. A large fully equipped family kitchen with breakfast bar and ample storage heads a list of extras that includes ducted heating, several water tanks, double carport and gated OSP just a short walk from St Patrick's and Hughesdale Primary Schools, Duncan MacKinnon and Argyle Reserves, vibrant local cafes, Hughesdale Station and Poath Road buses to PLC, Deakin University and Chadstone Shopping Centre.
