5 The Range, FRANKSTON SOUTH, VIC 3199

Hidden behind the high front fence is this grand English-style stone and timber two-storey five-bedroom home on 2039sqm (approx) with an elegant country charm so evocative of a bygone era that you almost expect to see Mrs Marple walk up as the butler serves Pimms on the patio to guests watching a game of tennis or playing in the pool. Nestled in an established garden of Japanese maples, liquid ambers and silver birches creating a canopy over stone walls and paths woven through garden beds and lawns and all just minutes from Frankston shops, schools and beaches. Inside the Georgian-style portico entrance is the sweeping staircase and the sunken lounge room with marble fireplace, a bay window overlooks the tennis court and French doors open to the patio with city views. The original wet bar to one side is a delight with mirrored shelves, side door to the timber panelled study (with open fire place and bay views) and server to the patio for outdoor entertaining. The formal dining room is located next to the well equipped kitchen with bay window alcove. There is one bedroom down stairs and four bedrooms upstairs with walk in robes. The large master bedroom has a balcony with city views. The two bathrooms one upstairs and one downstairs are in excellent original condition. With ducted heating, a double carport, enclosed swimming pool, mod grass tennis court and herb and vegetable gardens with stone wall terracing overlooking a private reserve this home offers fantastic family living with great potential for updating.
