Rock-solid, beautifully updated, maintained and nurtured over time, this classic brick beauty exemplifies the very best of its era - large, sunlit rooms, solid timber floorboards, and a straight-as-an-arrow structure - complemented by various modern touches, renovations and stylish updates that appeal today. On a 540sqm (approx) block within a walk to Racecourse Reserve, Kingston Heath Reserve and golf course; close to DFO, Westfield Southland, The Mentone Centre, Charman Road and Cheltenham Station, and in the prized school catchment for Mentone Girls' Secondary, Parkdale Secondary and Mentone Park Primary. A fresh paint palette, beautiful polished floorboards throughout; ducted gas heating plus two gas heaters and two air-conditioners. Stylish double block-out/privacy blinds, exposed beams and stylish track lighting. Combining three generous bedrooms - two with robes and certainly room for robes in the 3rd - two neat, stylishly updated bathrooms with a bath in the main and a separate toilet, plus a 2nd bathroom at the rear. We love the spacious front lounge with a stone-look hearth and the extra welcoming front foyer. Flowing to the rear, a vast open plan second family living and dining zone adjoins the very functional updated kitchen with quality stainless steel wall oven & 900mm gas cooktop, a dishwasher and loads of storage. Step out onto the lush backyard- offering plenty of space to dine alfresco and relax plus an oversized carport and shady mature trees demonstrate the heart and soul put into making this house a home. A multitude of wonderful attributes inside and out - ready to enjoy now in a location pulsing with friendly, family energy, natural beauty, lifestyle and convenience.
