Commanding a prized corner allotment for more than 100 years, this c1911 Edwardian residence makes a gracious statement on the cusp of Mentone’s vibrant centre. Set amongst 670sqm (approx) of established gardens, the home is rich with period design elements that will form an alluring backdrop to your day-to-day life. Soaring pressed metal ceilings, original open fireplaces and traditional wainscotting are amongst the original features that are bound to capture your heart through the captivating interiors which comprise an elegant formal lounge warmed by a gas fireplace. An attractive dining room connects to the well-equipped stone kitchen holding immense appeal to entertainers, whilst summer hosting is well catered for thanks to a sheltered alfresco patio with built-in BBQ and a sparkling free-form pool. An expansive tranquil master with ensuite bathroom and sundrenched window seat allows you to relax in truly refined style – two further bedrooms are also downstairs along with a dedicated study and chic bathroom complete with ebony clawfoot bath and twin vanity, while up in the pitched roofline an attic room could be the extra bedroom you need. With ducted heating, split systems and huge double garage accessed from Roger Street, this nostalgic setting then ups the ante with GRZ5 zoning meaning this is not only suited as a glorious family home but also a development opportunity (STCA). Steps to bus stops, a stroll to the station, cafes & shops, this premium locale is near quality primary & secondary schooling and just moments from the bay.
