Just completed this superior example of 1920’s architecture situated on a premier period streetscape, Farmcote c.1928 is a notable Californian Bungalow reimagined as the home of a leading local builder. Virtually stripped back and rebuilt by Brave Developments for the family of the owner-director, this up to five bedroom, two bathroom, multi zone home now offers the perfect blend of period grace and family space...with a place in one of Bentleigh’s best off-Centre addresses.


Retaining fine original detail and solid brick construction as the backdrop to a new era of timeless family living, the home unfolds with gracious separate lounge and dining rooms (either ideal as home-office or fifth bedroom) before stepping back to catch north-west sun across an expansive family zone and fan-cooled alfresco area. Offering a level of quality and design usually reserved for the professionals, the home stars a German Neff appliance kitchen with dual (steamer and conventional) ovens serviced by a vast butler’s pantry


A masterpiece of modern design with a plushly private master-suite extending through a bespoke walk-in robe to a deluxe dual-vanity ensuite, this beautifully accommodating home zones the kids in their own private three-bedroom wing centered on a similarly luxe brand-new principal bathroom. Specified with light Oak flooring plus 100% wool carpets, and premium stone benchtops on custom Shaker-style cabinetry, the home beautifully retains the spirit of the era with lofty 3m ceilings, large proportions, original fireplaces and sparkling leadlight all in place.


Appointed for today with zoned reverse-cycle ducted air-conditioning, alarm security and abundant storage, even the home’s grounds combine the best of yesterday and today with a big old-fashioned approx 681sqm family-sized block with space for kids to play, room for parents to entertain, and a place for multiple cars including a carport.


Surrounded by the area's finest period homes in this prized off-Centre Rd period precinct, there's a notable lifestyle location too; just around the corner from Bentleigh West Primary School, in Zone for Brighton Secondary College, with the bus to the Brighton private schools around the corner, and Centre Rd’s station and shopping strip within a stroll.
