1 Thaxted Road, Murrumbeena

The original home on the block that is now ready for some love and attention, this peaceful weatherboard home is set on a manageable block of leafy land.

Beyond a classic double front facade adorned with coloured leadlight that frames the entrance, the accommodation features lofty ceilings with decorative cornices and ceiling panels along with hardwood floors adding warmth and appeal.

Surprisingly spacious, the layout provides three bedrooms including an ensuite master with garden access along with a cosy lounge with open fireplace and handsome built-in timber and glass cabinetry. Out to the rear, a family or dining room also opens out to the outdoor area and connects in with the kitchen. Rounding off the package is a central bathroom with original buttercup-coloured fixtures plus ducted heating and an off-street parking space.

Ready for some polish, this could become a truly special home that brings modern comforts and style enhanced by the original nostalgic appeal. With scope to extend upwards to suit your family, there is also the option to clear the site for a brand-new residence (STCA).

Doors to the bus and within a quick stroll of cafes, local shops and Murrumbeena Park, this sought-after locale is approximately 15 minutes on foot to the station and an easy drive to Chadstone shopping centre.

We donate a portion of our fee from every property transaction to the Woodards Foundation to support people experiencing homelessness, family violence and social isolation.
