Corner the perfect blend of period grace and today's family space in this first-class Californian Bungalow. Impressively corner-sited in beautifully private approx 652sqm family grounds, this stylish Californian Bungalow is designed for family lifestyle with three stylish double bedrooms, two new bathrooms and a free-flowing dual zone floorplan spilling from double-doored entry, to a fine formal zone, to expansive living-dining…..and on to a full-width entertainers' veranda above the big backyard. Showcasing today's designer detail against a backdrop of high 3.2m ceilings and Baltic Pine floorboards, this impeccably styled home features beautifully proportioned rooms wrapped by dado and picture rails, expertly restored fireplaces set in exposed-brick surrounds, and original solid timber and sectioned-windows throughout. In this grand design, prestige features sit alongside period-perfect detail. An impressive 900mm range is set in an arched chimney and a slick dishwasher is wrapped by rich timber cabinetry in the eclectic kitchen. A state-of-the-art fully-tiled bathroom is supplemented by a skylit ensuite service, while the grand double bedrooms are fitted with robes. Designer detailed at every turn with frameless-screening, floating vanities and a luxe freestanding bath for the luxe bathrooms, there's eye-catching pendant lighting floating beneath lofty ceilings, block-out blinds for most windows, and tall French doors to the vine-draped veranda. Centrally heated with multiple reverse-cycle air-conditioners plus gorgeous gas and open fireplaces, even the home's gracious gardens combine yesterday and today - with extensive brick paving and broad lawns in tall-treed surrounds, and a high-gabled carport designed to double as an al fresco pavilion. Beachside of the line in the Zone for both Beaumaris and Mentone Girls Secondary Colleges, this timeless beauty has the location for a lifetime of family living. Equally close to the newly rejuvenated Cheltenham and Mentone retail and rail precincts, all the Mentone schools are within a cycle, Southland is within a minute and the bay is within a jog.
