144 Murray Rd, Preston is a 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom House with 4 parking spaces. The property has a land size of 680m2 and floor size of 125m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in May 2022.
Recently renovated on a sizeable 679sqm (approx.) corner block inside the coveted Preston High School catchment area, living with style, convenience and opportunity awaits the lucky buyer of this immediately liveable single-level three-bedroom home.
That opportunity presents itself in the form of redevelopment, given the scope to retain the existing home and build a luxury townhouse with its own frontage facing Murphy Grove in the large north-facing backyard (STCA). Just because you can develop, however, it doesn't mean you have to, considering the pristine condition of this move-straight-into residence.
Three large bedrooms with polished solid hardwood floorboards and a sleek modern bathroom (with heated towel, stone-topped twin basin vanity and corner shower) flow off the welcoming central hallway, which arrives at a tiled open-plan living domain of grand proportions.
An exposed rock feature wall enhances the aesthetic appeal of the relaxed living, while a brand new kitchen with AEG stainless steel cooking appliances, stone benchtops and loads of storage space offers a first-class cooking experience.
That essence of space extends to the enormous backyard, which comfortably accommodates a generous undercover entertaining area, separate studio for those running a business from home, multiple vegetable gardens and a large double garage plus double carport in front accessed via Murphy Grove.
Complete with a fully-tiled powder room, renovated laundry with second toilet, classic high ceilings with decorative plasterwork, Art Deco charm, ducted heating and split-system cooling, it's the perfect package with outstanding access to local bus services, Plenty Road trams, Northland Shopping Centre, High Street eateries, Preston Market, Preston Primary School and parks.
