Soaking up fresh bay breezes for almost a century, "Lugano" is an enticing beachside weatherboard home that radiates grace and period appeal. Boasting soaring ceilings and the delicate leadlight windows of the era, the heart-warming c1925 home is welcomed by a decked porch that gives way to attractive interiors. To the front an elegant formal lounge showcases a cosy gas fireplace and a box bay window, whilst peacefully set to the rear, the open plan family/dining room features multiple doors out to a shaded deck overlooking the sundrenched north-westerly garden. Great for entertainers, the kitchen is bright and spacious and features quality appliances plus a generous pantry and flows through to a large practical laundry.
A restored 1890s farmhouse fireplace takes centre stage in the ground-floor master which boasts a walk-thru robe to a bright ensuite; a second bedroom and bright family bathroom downstairs plus a third bedroom tucked away in the attic roofline are also offered. Masses of storage across both levels is a real highlight as is ducted heating and multiple split systems – rounding off a classic home is a security alarm and long driveway to a double carport with twin garden sheds.
Occupying 711sqm (approx) of coveted land, this nostalgic opportunity is right in the heart of Mentone's elite school precinct, within metres of the beach & buses and just the easiest stroll to the station, cafes and shops.
