224 Balcombe Road, Mentone VIC 3194

Presented in largely original condition and boasting traditional elements that have only become more significant with the passage of time, this two-bedroom home is as beautiful today as when it was first envisaged, showcasing beautiful detailing, contemporary updates, and spectacular garden surrounds elevated by rear north-facing perspectives.

The heart of the home is an informal family/dining space connecting through a pair of French doors onto an expansive alfresco deck. The surrounding gardens provide an attractive backdrop to be enjoyed all year round, while the established vegetable garden encourages owners to not only look at their garden but live in it too.

While the ornate open fireplace and cast-iron wood stove testify to the property’s earlier origins, the central bathroom and kitchen have been lovingly renovated and improved to reflect contemporary taste. In the kitchen, a full suite of shaker cabinetry and premium appliances are set against tiling; while in the bathroom, a pitched timber roof and frameless shower are underscored by the room’s crisp, bright, and white aesthetic.

With two large bedrooms with built-in robes, a study/sitting room, lounge, and informal family zone, the property includes original timber flooring, split-system heating and cooling, ducted heating, picture rails, fretwork portico entry, solar power and carport.

Located on the favoured side of the Nepean Highway within walking distance of elite private schools and Mentone Station Village, the property is mere moments from local area highlights, including Mentone Beach, The Concourse, Charman Road shops, Southland SC, and Cheltenham Park.
