Period Charm Meets Modern Day Luxury In Beachside Locale One of the area’s original Californian bungalows, this irresistible c1930 brick home is in a coveted beachside locale, being just footsteps from both Port Phillip Bay and Mentone Village.
On approximately 700 sqm of land, this fully renovated, 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom plus study character home, with double carport addition integrated into the home’s façade, is set behind a solid rendered fence including electric gates.
With its welcoming entry, created by a deep mosaic tiled verandah, this single level home has ease of access through double front doors. Once inside, high ornate ceilings, beautiful windows and rich timber floors ensure this residence retains its period elegance, whilst contemporary additions establish a tasteful and timeless look.
Forming the family nucleus, the Caesarstone kitchen is equipped with soft close cabinetry and premium appliances, including twin ovens and a Miele dishwasher. It conveniently overlooks the family room and is located to cater for effortless hosting in either the formal dining room or on the alfresco deck. For quieter evenings, the lounge with an open fireplace forms a perfect retreat.
Zoned to the front, the ensuite master bedroom showcases a delicately detailed ceiling; the remaining two bedrooms, along with a luxurious family bathroom with freestanding stone bath and separate toilet, create an ideal kids’ wing. A separate external study offers adaptable space for potentially a fourth bedroom or a teenagers’ retreat.
As you exit the family room through double glazed sliding doors your eyes will be immediately drawn to the notable depth of the block, where an alfresco deck with gas log fireplace looks across to a stunning tropical oasis. Quality slate tiles surround the large solar-heated pool and cascading water feature. Set in Merbau decking, the deluxe heated spa is an inviting inclusion, as is the well-positioned pool bar, whilst the bespoke hot/cold outdoor shower is perfect for after a trip to the beach.
Kept comfortable with ducted heating and split systems, an alarm and video intercom, whilst 4MW solar panels, substantial storage, a full laundry and a water tank conclude an unwaveringly beautiful package.
Mentone never disappoints with its cosmopolitan energy, a choice of eateries, train and bus transport and numerous sporting clubs. As an added bonus, this home is located within the school zones for both Mentone Girls’ and Beaumaris Secondary Colleges and it is only moments from the prestigious Mentone private schools.
