1/38 Loranne Street, Bentleigh, Vic 3204

Count the steps to Centre Rd's shopping (no more than 50), count the courtyards (you'll find three), then tally up the accommodation across this one great level.

Just off the Centre Rd strip, this single-level front home offers a generous three bedroom, two bathroom floorplan with a gracious plantation-shuttered formal lounge, a relaxed north-facing casual area and three outdoor areas including a pretty picket-fenced front garden, kitchen-view side courtyard and a fully covered fernery-courtyard suntrap running along the home's northern side.

Sized up with an elegant courtyard-view master-suite (with WIR and elegant ensuite) and a main spa-bathroom with separate WC, this high-quality home adds up the extras too with ducted heating and cooling, a 2000L water-tank and a generous double auto-garage. Step out to the cafes, shopping and station or stay home and live inside and out with this courtyard-focused beauty!
