Overview

Seventies Soul, Garden Beauty and a Warm Welcome

From the moment you arrive, this distinctive five bedroom home feels special. Built in 1979 as a display home for the Mentone racecourse, it celebrates the character of its era while embracing thoughtful updates, an eclectic sense of style and a wonderful connection to its established gardens. Set on a corner allotment of approximately 573sqm, with entry from Glenelg Drive, the home has been lovingly transformed into a private sanctuary. Redesigned by the owners, the garden provides a beautiful outlook from every room, bringing greenery and a sense of calm into everyday life. Inside, the welcoming floorplan flows effortlessly between spaces for family life and entertaining. A striking brick feature wall and open fireplace bring warmth to the lounge, while the adjoining dining room is perfect for gathering with friends and family. The well-designed kitchen is a pleasure to cook in, featuring three ovens, updated cabinetry and a practical scullery. A family and meals area connects to the paved outdoor entertaining space, where the garden creates a tranquil backdrop. The ground floor main bedroom includes a dressing room and stylish ensuite. Upstairs, four further robed bedrooms share a family bathroom and separate toilet, with two bedrooms featuring their own split-level layouts. Considered improvements include a new laundry, carpets, curtains and lighting, an alarm system, new external fencing and zoned central heating and refrigerated cooling. A double garage and additional toilet add to the home's everyday practicality. Beyond the garden, enjoy the warmth of an established neighbourhood and the convenience of nearby schools, shops, parks, Mentone Station and the beach. Full of personality and lovingly cared for, this is a home ready to welcome its next family.
