Mid-century gem lovingly maintained

Superbly positioned on an expansive 585sqm allotment in a tranquil, tree-lined street in desirable Bentleigh East, this single-level mid-century home presents a raft of opportunities to enjoy, renovate or redevelop (STCA). 

Home to its current owners for more than 50 years, the home reflects the love and care of multiple generations of one family.  Crowned by high ceilings with timber floorboards beneath neutral carpeting, and generous windows throughout the main living zones, the home offers three spacious, light-filled bedrooms, all with built-in robes and shelving.  The central bathroom facilities, freshly presented in a traditional tiling colour scheme, with bath, shower cubicle and separate toilet, service the living areas.

Two spacious lounge/family room areas, one including formal dining and complete with an attractive original gas fire and decorative surround redolent of the era, both with large banks of windows allowing views to the garden, adjoin the central hall and add to the easy, expansive comfort of the home.  A central tiled kitchen and meals, fully equipped for current use and boasting extensive original storage features, is refreshed in cheery, light-reflecting finishes. A separate laundry, with an additional toilet, allows access to the external drying and service yard running the length of the property. 

Climate control is offered throughout by ducted heating and split systems as well as ceiling fans in the bedrooms.  A large north-facing, sundrenched rear garden and patio, accessed from the family room, provides attractive outdoor entertaining areas as well as an undercover drying yard and storage area. A free-standing bungalow provides an additional comfortable bedroom and toilet for extra visitors or growing teenagers.  A large single garage and adjoining garden storage shed plus plenty of off-street parking complete the outdoor facilities.

Enjoy all this excellent locale has to offer with Bentleigh shopping precinct, top primary and secondary schools, golf courses, parkland and Port Phillip Bay an easy distance away. With its ample accommodation and tranquil ease of living, this comfortable family home has much to offer the discerning buyer.
