Every once in a while we're given the opportunity to present something exciting and utterly unique to the bayside marketplace - and this, ladies and gentleman, is one of those times!
Tucked in at the end of a tight-knit cul-de-sac, this architectural 60's home occupies a 559sqm (approx) wedge-shaped garden block with the broadest north-facing boundary of all others in the court, and the surrounding area, too!
Long-standing Mentone residents will be familiar with the "Hoysted Estate" - named after the famous Hoysted family who ran their horse race training enterprises from this land almost a century ago.
The home's only owners certainly made sure to take absolute advantage of the property's idyllic aspect, which captures the sun through full-height panoramic windows from early morning, noon and the late afternoon.
Abundant sunlight and lush garden vistas steal the show in every room - and yet, the extensively paved entertainer's courtyard-type exterior is deceivingly manageable - absolute enjoyment without ever having to start the mower again!
Thoughtfully designed and lovingly developed over time, the home is a creative celebration of simplistic 1960s eclecticism, with a distinctly retro vibe that is still so relevant and groovy baby' today. Split system air-conditioning on both levels, gas heating, an open fireplace, minor updates and renovations throughout. Double carport, an attached storeroom and a rainwater tank to the gardens.
Featuring three bedrooms and two bathrooms - master with walk-in robe and modern ensuite - and you could easily divide the huge upstairs bedroom into two or have 2 of the kids sharing.
Three generous, separate living zones opening to outdoor areas - an open plan kitchen, dining and lounge with a fireplace, a large upstairs retreat with a brand-new air-conditioner and a balcony
And finally, beautiful slate tiles in the sunroom only enhance the rich earthy undertones that permeate throughout, along with exposed beamed ceilings and the stunning outdoor views.
You're in the heart of it all here, within an easy walk from vibrant Balcombe Road and Como Parade shopping strips and Mentone train station. For families are the area's most renowned public and private schools - zoned for Mentone Primary, and Parkdale, Mentone Girls', Beaumaris & Cheltenham Secondary Colleges. Close to Mentone and Mentone Girls Grammar, Kilbreda, St Bede's and more.
We promise you will love this home and the peace it washes over you as much as we do. It's been so well looked after you won't need to do a thing - but if you have plans to renovate in the future, you'll certainly be inspired by the treasures already here!
