Tucked away in a lovely group of 10 - almost standalone with a great floor design, a large, sun-drenched garden, and a rare, adjoining double garage. Mostly original but pristine, immaculately preserved interiors, you can happily live here and enjoy it all from day one - or, take your time with modern updates or renovations as you please. A great opportunity to jump aboard the property ladder and unpack in something affordable and desirably located - within walking distance to both Mentone & Cheltenham villages and train stations, The Mentone Centre, the beach, foreshore and great Bay Trail. Close to Southland & DFO; some of Melbourne's finest public/private schools, with zoning for Mentone Park Primary, and Mentone Girls' & Parkdale Secondary Colleges. Ducted gas heating, reverse cycle air-conditioning, and timber parquetry flooring throughout. A rainwater tank, super generous backyard and large, covered entertaining area. Two oversized bedrooms with robes in each - the impressive master with a split system air-conditioner, a walk-through robe and ensuite access into the pristine original bathroom with a bath and a shower, plus a separate toilet and a laundry off the kitchen. The home is perfect for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining, with large windows reaching across the sunlit, north-facing lounge room, adjoining to the classic meals and original kitchen - presenting a fantastic opportunity to reconfigure it and acquire some additional living space by taking back the laundry and adjoining hallway. Retreat outside to the tranquillity of the L-shaped rear garden with a large pergola offering undercover enjoyment throughout the year. This easy-care courtyard garden is a space you'll get endless use of, and there's so much to inspire your outdoor living aspirations! Immense lifestyle appeal for first-home buyers, young families, downsizers, and savvy investors seeking a unique property that will always demand healthy returns. **Please park on the street for all inspections, do not park in the complex.
