12 Gilsland Road, Murrumbeena, Vic 3163

“Belel” might have had period beginnings but an extension and renovation have brought it right into today and will serve it well into the future. While some period details remain in the front rooms, it is the modern extension that causes a sensation. Flowing off the entrance hall, this amazing natural light-flooded room has a soaring vaulted ceiling that atrium-style has a bank of windows at the top that assist in making the open living room
feel even bigger and add to the sense of an indoor-outdoor room. The designated dining area and the sitting area are integrated with an as-new kitchen with walk-in pantry, breakfast bar, twin-drawer dishwasher, soft-close drawers, 5-burner gas cooktop...It's superb! There are 4 bedrooms - 3 with BIRs; the master bedroom with ensuite - plus a timber-lined main bathroom with sunken bath. Extending the theme of the A-shape ceiling of the living room is the matching roof of the expansive undercover entertaining area (where there is a gas mains BBQ and inbuilt brick seating.) It's a stunning feature. The private, north-facing garden is an oasis. Attractively landscaped, it has a large rock water feature cascading water into the freeform inground pool (automated self-cleaning). Ceiling fans, ducted heating, split-system A/C, a number of fireplaces not currently in use, and ample off-street parking plus a carport with a door are among the inclusions.Land size is approx 700sqm.
You couldn't ask for a better location that in Murrumbeena's “Golden Circle”. It's on the preferred north-side of the train station, in strolling distance of Chadstone Shopping Centre, Boyd Park, Murrumbeena Primary School, local shops and buses, as well as being close to major access roads. Brilliant!
