18 London Street, Bentleigh, Vic 3204

Two eras of easy living come together perfectly in this substantial four-bedroom home, conveniently located near Centre Road shops and schools. Architect-designed renovations blend today's quality with 1950s character. Energy-efficient and low-maintenance, the double-storey home has formal and casual living areas, double-height kitchen with lots of storage and cleverly designed skylight windows, and a ground-floor main bedroom with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe. The difference is in the detail, with two-way ensuite access, generous bedrooms, built-in wine storage, upstairs terrace and balcony, European kitchen appliances, and roof and laundry storage. Relax outside in the garden that includes a calming water feature, water tanks, sprinkler system and a bougainvillea-covered arbor. Excellent address close to cafes and shopping, Patterson station, a choice of schools, and sports grounds.
