Perfectly reimagined for modern family living, ‘The Rookery’ (c1928) is an idyllic & flawless blend of old and new. Sympathetically renovated & extended with incredible attention to detail at every turn, the home’s timeless Californian bungalow charm is accentuated by exquisite period features that have been meticulously restored.
Offering immense street appeal thanks to its classic, picture-perfect façade with deep verandah, the home opens to interiors that are as impressive as they are welcoming.
With both formal and casual entertaining spaces, among the highlights are an elegant lounge, dining room, relaxed family room plus versatile rumpus/sunroom with extensive built-in storage. The first-class gourmet kitchen is equipped with premium appliances (Miele dishwasher) and beautiful Italian baked glass tile splashback, along a butler’s pantry with freezer and Vintec wine fridge. The living extends outside to the huge alfresco dining deck – a space that was simply designed for entertaining.
With soaring 3.2m ceilings and pristine Spotted Gum flooring, the home also boasts four bedrooms (fitted wardrobes), a luxuriously appointed family bathroom with baked enamel German bath, an equally stylish master ensuite, plantation shutters & fans, high quality carpets, ducted heating and split systems plus Euro laundry. Bricks from the original fireplace have been cleverly incorporated into the landscaping - a chook enclosure and garage are also included while substantial off-street parking for multiple cars is a bonus. Moments to the heart of Mentone, the home is within walking distance of the suburb’s fine private schooling options and the bay. It is also in the prized MGSC & BSC zones.
