Beautifully maintained and presented throughout, the home seamlessly blends modern, low-maintenance living with a sense of quiet luxury and will appeal to discerning downsizers as well as families looking to be close to some of Melbourne’s most elite schools.With an all-important downstairs master bedroom the floorplan is superb and designed to maximise the home’s wonderful north easterly aspect. The living room opens out to a tranquil paved entertaining terrace with grassed area, wonderfully secluded with mature planting including espalier citrus. The dining room can easily accommodate a 10 seat dining table and is adjacent to the full-sized kitchen which features stone benchtops, Smeg & Bosch appliances and breakfast bar. The laundry and powder room are conveniently placed behind the kitchen and you can walk through to a full sized double auto-garage which also has a door to the rear courtyard. To the front of the home you will find the afore-mentioned ground floor master-suite which has a walk-in wardrobe and sparkling ensuite. Upstairs there is a large living room with balcony and tree top outlooks, 2 equally sized double bedrooms each with built in wardrobes as well as a huge family bathroom. This classic home has been built to exacting detail with the bonus of beautiful plantation shutters, hardwood floors, dual zone central heating and air-conditioning, alarm system, ducted vacuum, 2000 litre rain water tank and auto irrigation for the easy-care garden. It also has the rare advantage of being accessed via Harkin Avenue, therefore allowing all of the day-to-day convenience of Mentone Parade with the peace and quiet of this highly desirable and leafy side street.With Mentone fast becoming a destination suburb, families will adore the convenience of being within the highly sought Beaumaris Secondary and Mentone Girls Secondary state school zones as well as having a choice of primary, private and Catholic schools just a short walk or bike ride away (Mentone Grammar, Mentone Girls Grammar, St Bede’s, Kilbreda, Mentone Primary and St Patrick’s). City commuters will appreciate the convenience of being able to stroll to Mentone station whilst collecting a coffee on the way, teenagers will love the freedom of being able to hop on a bus or 2 stops on the train to Southland shopping and the whole family will enjoy exploring the array of fabulous cafes, shops and amenities Mentone is becoming known for.
