Period grace meets today’s family space right where so many families want to live! Just off the Centre Rd shopping strip and just beyond Bentleigh Reserve, this substantial period beauty rises over two storeys with up to five bedrooms plus a home-office, two-plus bathrooms, multiple living zones…and views from every window, and on each level, from garden to sunset!Designed for modern family life with a grand ground-floor master-wing (encompassing a fan-cooled bedroom, a bay-windowed retreat or home-office and dual vanity ensuite with freestanding bath), this surprisingly contemporary design puts kids’ quarters upstairs with their own large lounge…and adds a flexible nursery-sized fifth bedroom (or second home-office) to the ground floor.Sized to fit every family occasion with a formal lounge with tuck-pointed brick fireplace for home-entertainment and an expansive family zone for entertaining around a curvaceous Corian kitchen (with new 900mm range), there’s even more living outdoors with an awning-shaded storage-seated al fresco pavilion with pool powder-room beside the dual-heated pool with tiled spa.Recently repainted, newly carpeted and freshly floored with hard-wearing hybrid wideboards, this centrally heated and cooled home has all the contemporary comforts including robes for every bedroom (and desks for some), glass-fenced poolside decking overlooking auto-watered gardens, and a flexible garage-workshop plus plentiful parking.One of this old market garden area’s fine originals (home to the local blacksmith), this substantial period beauty enjoys today’s most future-forward location - just a little over a dozen doors to Bentleigh’s retail and rail strip, even closer the open space and sporting facilities of Bentleigh Reserve, within a walk of state and independent schools, with the bus at the door.
