89 Glenelg Drive, Mentone VIC 3194

Behind its high brick wall and steel gates, it's hard to imagine what a substantial family home awaits on just under 600sqm, only a 10min drive to bayside's beautiful beaches and some of Melbourne's most revered private schools including Mentone Grammar and Kilbreda College.

The retro home offers a beautiful blueprint for the family, ready for a modern makeover across its impressive expanse – which presents 3 big living areas and 4 bedrooms, for young families wanting a home to grow into.

A vibrant orange kitchen with honeycomb tiled floors captures the fun 70s vibe, with versatile timber floors in the rumpus, ducted central heating throughout and a large laundry which opens directly to the concrete patio.

A zoned layout separates its living space from the rear bedroom wing, adding the rental appeal of 2 bathrooms (family bathroom plus ensuite) for buyers keen to extend (STCA) the well-placed address at the top of Glenelg Dve – a virtually tree-less, flat rectangular site close to Mentone Racecourse Reserve and lake, Bunnings, Mentone train station, several golf courses and beaches stretching from Mentone and Black Rock to St Kilda's stunning esplanade.
