Completed back in 1956 when the Olympics put Melbourne on the world map, this light-filled home was built by the current owners’ mother & father (who also worked on radio communications for some of the Games’).
Now, a testament to its quality, it remains sound, solid and extremely appealing amongst 644sqm (approx) of established gardens right in the very heart of Beaumaris.
Leafy and tranquil with a desirable westerly orientation that fills the rear garden with afternoon sunshine, a decked entrance gives way to the comfortable accommodation that comprises a formal lounge opening out to a front deck plus a second living area also boasting alfresco access along with a cosy fireplace for winter warmth.
Original glass doors open to the family dining room and an updated kitchen which offers stone benchtops and quality European appliances (induction cooktop) along with a nostalgic reeded glass cabinet that nods back to the mid-century heritage.
A wall of wardrobing and ensuite bathroom add contemporary convenience to the master bedroom while two further bedrooms also offer generous storage and share the bright central bathroom. A large laundry, ducted heating & cooling and double garage round off a charming home.
Ready to move straight in, there is also plenty of potential to explore – polish the hidden hardwood floors, update the bathrooms or perhaps even extend the accommodation (STCA). In a highly desired location moments to the beach and close to Banksia Reserve, kindergartens and primary schools, the home is also an easy walk to shops, buses and dining options and within the zones for both Beaumaris and Mentone Girls’ secondary colleges.
