A labour of love with heart and soul added to every corner of its 762sqm (approx) allotment, this enchanting family wonderland immerses you in a private peacefulness behind its high front fence. Expansive outdoor entertaining, and a lagoon-style swimming solar heated pool amongst lush tropical foliage, shady mature trees, rock gardens and thriving flora. Located in one of Mentone's most sought-after pockets, next door to a terrific strip of shops, within minutes on foot to Acacia Ave Preschool and the revamped Southern Road Reserve Playground; Mentone Park Primary, Racecourse Reserve, Thrift Park Shopping, and within the prized catchment zone for Mentone Girls' and Parkdale Secondary Colleges. Majestic park-like gardens front to back and in between - beautifully established, reticulated and developed over time. Both double and single carport parking with drive-through access; multiple sheds and extensive paving - complemented by a large entertaining deck, a paved terrace and a sparkling in-ground solar heated pool amidst the backyard of your dreams! If you can bear to tear yourself away, you'll be equally impressed with the home itself. Originally built in the 1950s, extended sometime later and lovingly updated over the years thereafter, this architecturally elegant home embraces soaring ceilings and incredible northern sunlight through gallery-height windows. Ducted gas heating and evaporative cooling, freshly painted, new carpets and more. Comprising four generous bedrooms - the private upstairs master suite with a walk-in robe, an ensuite and its own private retreat - and three downstairs bedrooms serviced by the main bathroom with a bath/shower. Two separately zoned living and dining rooms to the lower level, and a stylish, granite-top kitchen at the helm, equipped with a 900mm freestanding oven, gas cooktop and dishwasher. Soaring raked ceilings overhead, beautiful timber floorboards underfoot, sunlight streaming in and double glass doors extending out onto the rear, shaded deck - all tying together to make this one helluva backdrop to create your fondest family memories!
