Radiating a family charm and warmth that is utterly consistent with its original period heritage, this comprehensively rebuilt California Bungalow offers 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a wonderful retreat and a sun drawing alfresco flow to inspire home entertainers. Completely freestanding on a deep 640 square metres (approx.) allotment, the home is immaculate for today with plenty of room for families to grow and play in a friendly location surrounded by other families and near excellent schooling options, plenty of transport as well as wonderful local parkland.
Comprehensively rebuilt behind its pretty-as-a-picture façade, the home has been replumbed, rewired and restumped for peace-of-mind as it opens to reveal rock-solid hardwood flooring, soaring ceilings and leadlight windows, all with a freewheeling and relaxed flow to its open-plan rear. Underpinned by a subway-tiled kitchen with solid timber counter tops, plenty of soft close cabinetry and a farmhouse sink, the open-plan is contemporary but respectful of the home's origins, revealing a light-filled character that warmly welcomes you inside.
A huge bank of concertina doors extends outdoors, inviting you and your guests to let your hair down and enjoy a huge, partly undercover deck that draws plenty of northern sun, making it perfect for year-round gatherings regardless of the weather. Backed by a deep backyard, this is a home that also invites consideration of its future possibilities that may or may not include an extension, a pool or even both (all STCA).
At the rear of the home, an independent studio is a versatile space that has been completed with built-in robe storage and a split system to suit usage as a home office, a 5th bedroom or even a rumpus that could just be the best ever teenage sleepover venue.
The primary bedroom has been particularly well considered to offer parents a private sense of sanctuary, with generous walk-in robes and a skylit, subway-tiled ensuite that offers a walk-in shower. Further highlights of this ready-to-be-enjoyed home include a concealed laundry within the main family bathroom, driveway parking for at least 3 vehicles, solid hardwood flooring and plantations shutters, as well as central and zoned heating and air conditioning.
Walk easily to the thriving cosmopolitan throng, shopping and great Greek dining of Oakleigh, as well as the village-like charm of Murrumbeena, where both Murrumbeena and Oakleigh Railway Stations offer the easiest of city commutes, plus you have Murrumbeena Park around the corner and Chadstone Shopping Centre just up the road in a location that is spoilt for terrific local schooling options.
