19 Patty Street, Mentone, Vic 3194

High on period beauty, big on prestige impact, this is landmark living in a highly-sought parkside school-precinct location. Opposite the playground on the corner of Bourke St, this elevated c.1920 home towers above it all with a surprisingly contemporary four bedroom plus study nook, two bathroom, triple zone family floorplan.

Stepping up over two spectacular storeys with a fine formal lounge, airy family zone and a Dandenongs' view first-floor lounge (plus a sneaky glimpse of the lights on Oliver's Hill), this family-wise home fits a modern family with a ground-floor or first-floor master, fully-tiled designer bathrooms on each level and a prestige appliance kitchen in the airy open-plan. Perfectly period-detailed with lofty strapped ceilings, pretty plate-rails, fine leadlight, a fully restored fireplace and beautiful Baltic Pine boards, there's designer detail including plantation-shutters, streamlined robes and a freestanding bath, and prestige extras including reverse-cycle air-conditioners upstairs and down, ducted heating downstairs, video-intercom and an alarm.

High on style with landscaped gardens including broad north-westerly lawns, paved entertaining and two auto-gated carspaces, this is a towering period beauty in the most beautiful of family locations...just three blocks to the Girls College and a walk to all the other schools, the station and the bay.
