19 Burns Avenue, Murrumbeena, Vic 3163

Radiating charm and character, this beautiful period home has enormous street appeal. What a delight it is, inside and out! Craftsmen-built, the classic, clinker brick, art deco residence is set in a lushly planted and well tended garden on the corner of Ardyne Street. The multitudinous period features will thrill aficionados of the period. Stained timber architraves, deep skirting boards, wide window sills, decorative ceilings, diamond-patterned leadlight, hardwood flooring, picture rails, plate rails in the central entrance hall - it all immediately creates a warmly welcoming ambience.
The floorplan encompasses formal and informal living rooms of generous proportions. There is a formal lounge room - with gas log fire (the home also has ducted heating) - that leads into the formal dining room and out to a vast open-plan informal living room (A/C). Here, extensive quality-built timber cabinetry is an eye-catching feature. The skylit kitchen (with stone benchtops and huge gas cooker) has a voluminous pantry and the sitting area is home to one of the largest timber wall units you're likely to see. There are 3 bedrooms (BIRs) serviced by a modern bathroom.
A shady verandah embraces a pretty garden with a gazebo for outdoor entertaining. There is also a raised veggie garden, a rainwater tank and a shed in this pleasant rear garden. On the corner of Ardyne Street, with ample off-street parking, this superb property occupies an allotment of approx 547sqm, close to Murrumbeena Park, recreation, shops, cafes, trains, schools and Chadstone.
