3/16 Bute Street, Murrumbeena, Vic 3163

Wow, here is a contemporary villa that overwhelms with its sunlight-flooded spaciousness and its fantastic raked ceiling (reaching 5.3m at its highest point) in the open living room. A triangular-shape clerestory window adds design flair to the large space, and a nib wall delineating the dining area is another creative touch. Off to one side is a glamourous skylit kitchen - all stone benchtops, glossy cabinetry, wine storage and stainless steel appliances including a gas cooktop. Both the living and dining areas have a wall of glass with doors opening onto a terrific outdoor entertaining area. Tranquil, attractive and mostly undercover, it incorporates a big deck, a no-mow lawn, and paving. The rear of the garage (with a remote-control door) has a roller door that can be opened to turn the garage into another area for partying. You can cater for a huge party in this alfresco zone! The home has 3 bedrooms with built-in wardrobes. The master bedroom has its own access to the modern bathroom, which includes a frameless glass shower. There is a separate toilet and a separate laundry. As for the extras that are incorporated into this terrific home - there is ducted heating, 2 split-system A/Cs, double blinds, security alarm and two separate garages. Set at the rear of an elite development of only 3 homes, this property is in a prime location - a peaceful leafy street near parks, recreation, local shopping centres, cafes, and public transport.
