2/43 Margaret Street, Carnegie VIC 3163

Much larger than it looks from the outside, this house-size home still has the benefit of being on a compact, low maintenance allotment with a wraparound courtyard-style garden. Street-front, private and accessed from McLaurin Street, the property is in walking distance to buses, parks and leisure facilities as well as to Murrumbeena train station cafes and shops. It is also easy to access Chadstone and Monash Uni campuses in Clayton and Caulfield. A quick refurbishment would see the residence shine. Pull up the carpet, and expose the floorboards. Paint the walls and add your own style. The bones of the house are excellent. Off the entrance hall is a large living room with a sliding door to a sunporch and the side garden. There is also a sizeable dining room (A/C). The kitchen, too, is well proportioned and includes gas hotplates. Two of the 3 bedrooms have BIRs while the master bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe, an ensuite and a door out to the side garden. The home has ducted heating, and also a double garage.
