Captivating from the street thanks to its timeless period façade, this 1950s bungalow continues to exceed expectations with beautifully reimagined interiors and an incredibly private & impressive entertainer’s backyard with sparkling inground pool – the ultimate family sanctuary.
Immaculately manicured gardens with glorious red brick accents provide the perfect welcome, before an original leadlight front door opens to reveal stunning, light-filled accommodation that flawlessly melds old-world charm with contemporary family comfort and style.
Spanning two well-planned levels, among the many highlights are a formal lounge/sitting area with adjoining office/study – the ideal set-up for those working from home. Further on, the vast open plan living/dining zone and first-class gourmet kitchen form a space for effortless entertaining. Here, banks of retractable bi-fold doors create the perfect indoor-outdoor connection, whilst the thoughtfully-curated kitchen is a host’s dream setting and is equipped with quality appliances, stone surfaces and ample storage, including the butler-style/walk-in pantry with fridge plumbing.
A ground floor garden-view primary bedroom with lavishly-appointed ensuite is also offered, whilst three additional bedrooms can be found across both levels – they share a family bathroom, also with designer finishes. A versatile multi-purpose room with its own private entrance is yet another standout feature and provides options as a teen retreat, home gym or guest accommodation.
Outside, discover an exceptionally private haven designed for family relaxation and year-round entertaining. Centred around the salt-chlorinated, solar heated pool with water feature, there are spaces to gather in the sunshine as well as a covered poolside cabana with ceiling fan – a space that can be enjoyed throughout the seasons.
Multiple split systems, a Heat & Glo gas fireplace, smartly-finished laundry and plantation shutters are all offered, along with new carpets, recently repolished hardwood floors, new skylights, a watering system and parking for up to five cars – including a carport. There is also the clever inclusion of a concealed utility area for pool equipment & a shed, along with three water tanks (approx. 13,000lts in total).
An easy stroll to Mentone’s private and independent schooling options, and just a little bit further to the area’s magnificent beaches, this prized address is also close to the station, a choice of primary schools, shops and cafes whilst the highway is easily accessible for a direct commute or stress-free weekend getaway to the peninsula. It is also in the sought-after catchment zone for Mentone Girls’ and Parkdale secondary colleges.
