139 Murray Road, Preston

This classic Californian's five bedroom flexibility illustrates its family appeal on an allotment that provides equally attractive outdoor dimensions before concluding with the convenience of a secure carport accessed from second frontage to Mutimer Street. A façade that conveys engaging period authenticity precedes spaces that feature polished floorboard beneath high ceilings, including a substantial living/dining area accompanied by an open-plan kitchen fitted with stainless steel appliances and stylish storage. The main bedroom's bay window, beautiful proportions and ensuite complement a sense of character and comfort that sets the benchmark for four additional bedrooms - or three and a second living zone if so preferred - served by a central bathoom. Expansive decking, the garden backdrop, the carport's rear ROW and front driveway parking surround this vibrant, versatile home close to Plenty Road tram routes, shopping and cafes.
