Classic Cheltenham charm within a peaceful, low-traffic pocket of cul-de-sacs and crescents; amongst lush gardens and lawn, incredible undercover entertaining and a sparkling, solar-heated in-ground swimming pool taking up residence in the backyard - with a Balinese-style cabana! Bathed in sunlight and showing off quality updates and renovations, this lovely home is an impressive representation of living that perfectly captures the essence of this bayside location. Centrally positioned within walking distance to DFO and The Mentone Centre shops; a quick bus ride away from Southland shopping, Mentone & Cheltenham villages and train stations; the beach, foreshore and great Bay Trail. Access to some of Melbourne's finest public/private schools - and school zoning for Kingston Heath Primary, and Mentone Girls' & Cheltenham Secondary Colleges. A lover of light with wide expanses of glass enveloping the living zones, bringing sun and lovely garden views in. Ducted gas heating and split system air-conditioning (x2), solid timber floorboards throughout, carport parking plus an oversized garage/workshop with loads of storage space - and a 16 panel / 4kW solar system AND solar pool heating cutting your carbon consumption considerably. Three generous bedrooms with mirrored robes - the main with a split system air-conditioner. Two beautifully renovated bathrooms - one with a frameless rainmaker shower in between the 1st & 2nd bedrooms, and the 2nd bathroom cleverly incorporating the laundry. L-shaped living and dining zones with a large kitchen standing at the hub with huge benches and lots of storage; Bosch cooking appliances & dishwasher - all overlooking the full-length entertaining deck where you can dine alfresco and enjoy the north-westerly sunshine. Come summertime, of course, you'll be on a pool lounge under the cabana, with a book and an iced drink in hand while the kids play and splash about!
