12 Rose Street, Bentleigh VIC 3204

Pretty-as-a-picture and harmoniously melding Californian Bungalow charm with a contemporary indoor-outdoor lifestyle, this five-bedroom home offers a truly charmed existence on a vast 794m2 (approx.) allotment. A perfect blend of period allure and modern styling, the home offers a coveted family lifestyle in a quiet cul-de-sac, with Allnutt Park and playground at the end of the street, while paces from Centre Road’s vibrant eateries, shopping and trains, and minutes to elite public and private schools.

Welcomed by a pretty, tuck-pointed facade with diamond quarrels, and a gabled roof atop, the home welcomes guests into a romantic world of high decorative ceilings, bright boxed bay windows, and elegant leadlight glazing. Boasting the refined style and lavish proportions of its era, four robed bedrooms pamper individual retreat and study, including a master bedroom with his-and-her robes and a contemporary ensuite, plus a flexible fifth bedroom or a formal lounge room with gas fireplace.

A perfect entertainer, the home’s hub is an immense open plan domain, imbued by gleaming Victorian Ash floors and a shower of natural light, complemented by a large media room for kids’ privacy. Presenting a stylish ambience for en-masse entertaining, the open plan domain is indulged by a stunning hostess kitchen, serving culinary delights over a huge island bar, while catering with Ilve and Asko appliances. Two vast decks spill from the glamorous interior to indulge barbecue dining and casual lounging amid the home’s stunning native gardens.

Providing a luxurious spa-bathroom for the family with a separate WC, and a large laundry, the home assures comfort and security, including solar electricity, zoned ducted heating and refrigerated cooling, ducted vacuum, video doorbell, and security alarm, and finished with a remote garage plus plenty of off-street parking.
