Find your secret garden by the bay! A true hidden gem within 600m of the sand and two blocks of the station, this enchanting four bedroom, two bathroom period-style rear home comes with family-size triple zone living, fairy-tale secret gardens and a uniquely private location - with pedestrian entry via Como Pde and a quiet laneway access via Peter Ave. Gracious, spacious and so family-wise with formal, family and quiet kids (or media) lounge areas, this classic charmer features a curvaceous window-bayed master-suite (with elegant ensuite and walk-in robes) and a cleverly-designed main bathroom (with separate vanity, WC and washroom areas). Even the gorgeously groomed rose-filled gardens have a family focus with all-weather entertaining on an extra-wide café-blind enclosed veranda, a sail-shaded rose-bordered BBQ area, and perfect-sized lawns front and rear for pets and kids.Inspired by Victorian-era beauty with deep corniced, rose-centred ceilings, pressed-metal panelling and decorative brickwork, this timeless home is built for today with a step-in pantry for the quality appliance kitchen, robes for all the bedrooms and a ceiling fan for the family area. Centrally heated and reverse-cycle air-conditioned with a warming woodfire, the home blooms with 3000L water-storage to keep the gardens blossoming, and a high-gabled double auto-garage adding to the charm of rear entry.In a world of its own, yet so close to it all, in the highly-sought Parkdale and Mentone Girls Secondary College Zones, this hidden treasure has the bay within a jog, the station within a dash and Parkdale and Mordialloc’s cafes and shopping within a Saturday stroll!
