More than just a much loved one-owner mid-Century home, this might also just be the most accommodating and family-wise buy in the Southern Reserve precinct. Just ten doors from the Reserve, this substantial c.1964 six bedroom and study, two bathroom home rises from a solid brick base with lounge-dining facing north through floor-to-ceiling windows to high-walled front gardens, a relaxed family zone beside a modern kitchen with Blanco and Asko appliances, and a big flexible bedroom wing rising over two storeys with a quality bathroom on each level, and a fitted study and balconied bedrooms on high in the treetops. Showcasing the best design elements of the era with slimline metric-brick feature walls and timber panelling, an sculptural central stair and streamlined cabinetry including library shelving and desk-robe units, the home is reverse-cycle air-conditioned with original in-floor heating at ground-level and ceiling fans up above. Set in family-sized approx 891sqm grounds with a carport to the front and a huge double garage at the rear, there’s all you need here to fit today’s biggest family in one of yesterday’s great mid-Century homes. Zoned for Parkdale and Mentone Girls Secondary Colleges and in reach of all the Mentone schools, this ‘60s sensation is located for today…a walk to Thrift Park, a minute to Mentone’s revitalised shopping and transport precinct and a minute more to the bay.
