Live in a world of your own on the edge of the education precinct in this gracious family oasis. Enclosed by grand garden walls in approx 743sqm north-westerly rear grounds, this c.1943 home is a uniquely beautiful example of its time; built to classical proportions, detailed in gracious style...and now renovated in timeless style.

Opening in imposing style with colonnaded double-doors marking the entrance to fine formal lounge and dining rooms, this sophisticated three bedroom, two bathroom home unfolds in spectacular style with a light-filled family zone spilling out to a lavish 32sqm all-weather al fresco area...and on to the lush green sanctuary beyond.

With soft Hamptons-inspired interiors and limed Oak floors as the backdrop to the deep-silled sash-windows and lofty corniced ceilings of the original design, the home offers a clever curation of yesterday and today. Prestige styled with an elite Miele and Bosch appliance kitchen, the home fits a modern family with luxe and lovely bathrooms (one with freestanding spa-bath), and custom cabinetry including tall built-in robes.

Secured behind auto-gates with plentiful parking alongside the manicured front lawns, this centrally heated and reverse-cycle air-conditioned home steps back to an immensely private kids’ paradise with lush garden areas to explore...and a pretty studio and practical workshop to enhance creativity.

Located for today’s busy family lifestyle within a walk of the station on the edge of the educational precinct (e.g. Mentone Girls Grammar, St Bedes, Kilbreda), this rare period beauty promises a beautiful beachside life; just a few blocks to the sand. Short stroll to Mentone and Parkdale cafes, local parks For more information about this gracious oasis contact Wesley Belt at Buxton Mentone on 0418 310 753
