Overview

Transformed beachside residence, two streets from the bay

Recently renovated and reimagined, this architect-designed Mentone home now pairs its striking original design with a polished contemporary finish, all within a short stroll of the beach, shops and station. The renovation is evident from the street, where extensive new landscaping sits behind a secure front fence with electric gate. Inside, herringbone flooring runs throughout over hydronic underfloor heating, bringing warmth and character to the open living and dining zone. Above, a dramatic 8m void rises over a sculptural floating staircase. At the centre of the home is an all-new kitchen with beautiful stone benchtops and a full suite of Miele appliances. The bathrooms have been comprehensively updated to match. The layout suits families at every stage. There are four bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, with a main suite and a living zone on each level. A second study upstairs gives a dedicated space for working from home. A third living zone opens to the poolside alfresco room with its BBQ kitchen, overlooking a fully tiled 12.5m lap pool. The pool is warmed by a highly efficient electric heat pump, making it an outstanding setting for entertaining well beyond summer. Comfort and security are well covered by reverse-cycle air-conditioning, CCTV, an alarm and ducted vacuum. Double-glazed commercial-grade windows, a water tank and a double auto garage complete the package. Set two streets from the sand and moments from Mentone's village, station and foreshore, this is relaxed beachside living with nothing left to do.
