Peacefully hidden away in one of Murrumbeena's most sought-after cul de sacs - between the open spaces of Boyd Park and the thriving café culture of the village - this beautifully reimagined, circa-1920 California Bungalow delivers the perfect combination of timeless character and uncompromising contemporary quality. This is a blue-chip address with a strong family lifestyle edge, zoned for excellent schooling at Murrumbeena Primary School and Glen Eira College, just moments also from transport, shops, cafes, dining, bars and Chadstone Shopping Centre.
Executed with an impressive attention to detail, the renovation has created a welcoming family domain with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 distinct living areas and a north-facing alfresco flow that is guaranteed to delight home entertainers.
Beyond its broad and welcoming front veranda, the home unfolds under high ceilings and with polished hardwood flooring to merge its original heritage with a more contemporary, light and airy open-plan, where the high ceilings are thoughtfully retained and the flow is perfect for modern family living.
At its heart, a superbly appointed gourmet kitchen highlights a full suite of Miele that includes twin ovens, induction cooking, an integrated refrigerator and an integrated dishwasher, while striking stone benches provide durable working surfaces and the waterfall-edged island invites guests to settle for a drink. The flow continues effortlessly outdoors to a north-facing deck and established garden where entertaining is both stylish and effortless.
Impressively sized bedrooms are freshly carpeted and offer flexible family accommodation, lead by a wonderfully appointed primary bedroom with a fully-tiled ensuite that is thoughtfully themed to the tastefully neutral tones of the main family bathroom which is also fully tiled. Large built-in robes in 3 of the bedrooms offer a huge amount of storage, whilst a built-in workstation and cabinetry ensure the 4th bedroom could equally serve as a large home office where its sunny northern aspect and garden views are sure to make work-from-home days a delight.
Further highlights of this well thought-out and meticulously crafted home include a laundry where the home's extensive use of stone is continued and vast hanging / drying racks are a well-considered inclusion, plus there is gated driveway parking for up to three vehicles, ducted heating, split system air conditioning and a large garden shed.
Perfectly positioned to both treat Boyd Park as an extension of your own backyard and to find the perfect coffee at the village, plus you have terrific local shopping, dining, the ability to walk to city-bound trains from Murrumbeena Railway Station or grab an impromptu glass of something soothing at the Murrumbeena Wine Bar, while Chadstone Shopping Centre is just 2 minutes away.
