1025 North Road, Murrumbeena VIC 3163

Cleverly corner-sited in the new McKinnon Secondary College Zone, this garden-wrapped, high-walled, double-glazed brick beauty is full of good ideas… just half a dozen blocks from the College's new campus!

Stretched out wide with a welcoming triple-fronted floorplan, this lovely late-period home features big bedrooms with built-in robes, a large lounge with an open-fireplace, and a flexible formal dining-room easily reconfigured as a big third bedroom or home-office.

Stylishly upgraded with a quality stainless-steel appliance kitchen overlooking a tiled family (or casual dining) area, and a freshly painted and polished bathroom with private WC, this Gold Star home has clever added extras at every turn. Appointed with ducted heating plus sculptural new Skyfans for every room, there's high-quality European double-glazing for whisper-quiet living, and hardwood floors and timber venetians for warm and welcoming style.

Even the outdoors are cleverly styled with secure auto-garaging from Velra Ave, a supersmart dual-frontage 'drive-thru' driveway with added parking, and the perfect mix of broad lawns and tall trees for kids to enjoy out front plus an exposed aggregate paved rear yard for grown-ups to entertain.

So well-sited on an easy-access College Zone corner, this high-achieving home is even cleverly located – within a quick walk of the educational opportunity of the new campus, just 200m to Oasis Bakery's good food and great breakfasts, and within easy reach of the cosmopolitan shopping strips and stations at Murrumbeena and Hughesdale.
