20 McLean Avenue, Bentleigh, Vic 3204

Rip up the carpets, paint up the walls, dive right into a new future for this one-owner beauty. Held by the same family for over 50 years, this terracotta-roofed, brick veneer three bedroom plus study area, 2 bathroom beauty has had a few value-adding additions over the last half century. There's a curvaceous bay window adding space inside and style outside for the already large living/dining area, a clever compact ensuite for the master bedroom, and a fully-fenced salt-water chlorinated pool in the big backyard.

With gas heating plus an air-conditioner, a big main bathroom with a separate WC and a family-sized vintage kitchen, this solid home is perfect to polish and enjoy.there's even room to fit the family fleet with a big flexible carport linked to the house to double as an all-weather al fresco area. Alternatively, make the next step straight away with a full makeover and extension to capitalise on this premier address just off Centre Rd and within the Brighton Secondary College Zone. Or, maybe even take inspiration from the neighbours and bring an all new face to this approx 6120sqft/568sqm block.
