Murrumbeena

Nestled behind the lush greenery of an established wall of Magnolias, this exquisitely renovated, solid brick Californian Bungalow delivers an irresistible blend of 1920s period elegance and contemporary indoor-outdoor connection, all in a coveted family location. Pivotal to wonderful parkland, excellent schools, city-bound trains and the village-like charms of both Hughesdale and Murrumbeena, this is a three bedroom plus study residence that is guaranteed to impress.

An inspired architectural renewal highlights a well-designed Bosch and SMEG-equipped kitchen / dining / living organised around a striking island of stone while offering seamless connection through huge glass sliding doors to an utterly private and largely undercover, alfresco sanctuary. Wrapped in attractive foliage, under finely detailed ceilings and with large windows framing verdant outlooks in all directions, the sense of light and proportion is alluring as this impeccable home also presents a large master bedroom with a vogue, double basin vanity ensuite. Further highlights include rear / side car access, a stylish central bathroom, laundry, split system heating and air conditioning.

Simply stroll down the street for a couple of minutes to discover great cafes, local shopping, wine bars and trains, plus you have terrific parks - at Kangaroo Park and at Duncan McKinnon Reserve - while some genuinely thriving and cosmopolitan dining experiences can be found at both Koornang Road and at Oakleigh.
