You can determine a truly beautiful home when it's apparent that it was a beautiful home yesterday, it's a beautiful home today, and it will remain a beautiful home tomorrow and well into the future. This one, in a myriad of wonderful ways, is every bit a beautiful home. On a supremely private axehandle block behind just one other, this incredible family home serves up relaxed sophistication, lifestyle and location in one perfectly wrapped package. Designed to circle around a north-facing central courtyard, vast banks of full-height glass wrap around the home's expansive living zones to maximise the incredible natural light filtering in to every corner. Contemporary updates and renovations that have only enhanced the home's original foundations, while still emanating all the fundamental elements, and the same peaceful atmosphere and elegance it always did. This rare diamond will capture your heart. Over the threshold of the wide entry, terracotta tiles and plush new carpets, excellent storage, a crisp white colour palette, ducted gas heating and split system A/C; an incredible amount of natural light is undoubtedly a telling focal point for what this home is all about. Five generous bedrooms with robes - the master stationed well away from the four minor bedrooms, with a lavish black-granite ensuite with a corner spa and dual vanities, and a private outdoor retreat. The family bathroom servicing the rest of the household with ease. . Living space in abundance with expansive "formal" zones flowing around into casual zones for relaxed everyday family life. Quality appointed kitchen at the helm with timber benches, dual ovens, 900mm gas cooktop, and a dishwasher. Multiple openings to outdoor entertaining from the central courtyard and around the back, where you'll no doubt spend hours losing your senses to the gardens and a stream of visiting birdlife dropping in to say hello! Ideally positioned within equal distance from both Mentone and Cheltenham villages and train stations, walking distance to the beach, the great bayside trail, Mentone's elite private schools including Mentone Grammar, Mentone Girls Grammar, Kilbreda, St Bedes, and zoned for the renowned Mentone Girls' & Beaumaris Secondary Colleges.
