Along a leafy, tree-lined street well known for its classic architecture and understated affluence, this charming brick home rests upon a flat 538sqm (approx) block not far from the beautiful Racecourse Reserve. There's much to admire and adore, beginning with the gorgeous street appeal provided by the manicured front garden, and the ideal aspect of the sunny, north-facing front yard. Beyond the front door, it's the abundance of natural light through the large, pane-glass windows and kitchen skylight. The fresh paint palette, immaculate presentation and the richness of the solid timber window/door frames and architraves. And you'll love the highlight windows, soaring ceilings and the vibes emanating from the family sunroom too! Three generous bedrooms with robes, serviced by a neat, original bathroom with a bath, shower and separate toilet; and a tucked away laundry off the kitchen with excellent storage and bench space. An extra-large front entry that's a perfect study nook; generous L-shaped lounge and dining room, ducted heating, split system and an open-designed kitchen at the hub with plenty of storage, gas cooktop & range hood, a dishwasher and plenty of bench and seating space. The sunny, rear family sunroom is where you'll all come together to dine, relax and unwind at the end of a busy day. Encased in full-height windows enjoying leafy garden views, and two sliding door openings to the covered entertaining and backyard, you'll seldom find a good reason to draw the blinds! Shady mature trees and lush established gardens and lawn, plenty of brick paving, a large garden shed and an oversized tandem carport with potential rear access for the boat, camper or trailer. Close to Racecourse Reserve, Mentone Park Primary and childcare; close to The Mentone Centre, & Thrift Park shopping, Westfield Southland, DFO, Mentone Village, the train station and beach; Mentone Grammar Schools, St Bedes, Kilbreda, and prized zoning for Mentone Girls' & Parkdale Secondary Colleges. Quite simply, this is a beautiful, warm and inviting home - so lovingly developed, looked after and enjoyed by its current owner for over 24 blissful years - all in preparation for you!
