Surrounded by parks, a block to the bay and a stroll to the school, this one has yesterday’s grace, today’s family space and location to last a lifetime! An increasingly rare find in this prime beachside, park-precinct location, this substantial four bedroom plus fitted study, three bathroom period home has been renovated with respect to offer the triple zone accommodation that modern families love.

Graced with fine formal lounge and dining rooms, extended to an expansive north-facing family living/dining, and stepping up to a vast first-floor kids’ zone (big enough for work, play AND a fifth bedroom), this substantial period beauty has a gorgeous ground-floor master-suite overlooking front gardens and a sun-bathed covered al fresco area with in-deck spa catching north sun at the rear.

Period detailed and prestige appointed, the home features a classic granite kitchen with stainless-steel appliances (including a Bosch dishwasher) , quality bathrooms (including a dual vanity ensuite) and elegant features including a gorgeous gas-log fireplace, decorative ceilings, timber dados and cabinetry, and warm polished boards.

Centrally heated with reverse-cycle air-conditioners in most rooms, this gracious family home has a garden-view retreat for the master, built-in robes in every bedroom and plentiful parking including a big double carport. Best of all, this period-perfect home has the perfect beachside family location – just around the corner from Keys St shops and the Mentone school bus, and a walk to the Primary School and Concourse.
