20 Stratford Avenue, Bentleigh East, Vic 3165

On a sought-after corner block offering multiple street frontages, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home stands out from the pack with its fabulously functional floorplan and range of versatile living areas, both indoors and out, on ideal low maintenance block of 425 sq m approx. Polished timber floors and high ceilings with detailed cornices lend an air of grandeur to the interiors, further enhanced by the classic elegance of a marble (gas) fireplace in the formal lounge/dining room. A substantial separate kitchen/meals features gas cooking, a Miele dishwasher and a breakfast bar, with the family room stepping out to a paved alfresco space perfect for entertaining and complemented by a sun-kissed and secure child/pet-friendly front yard. All three bedrooms have built-in robes, while a supremely flexible sunroom can be utilised as rumpus, extra living zone or light-filled studio. Includes two off-street car spaces, ducted heating/cooling, reverse-cycle A/C, a separate laundry/handy second bathroom and a storage shed. Framed by beautifully landscaped gardens. Close to GESAC, schools, Bailey Reserve and Centre Rd shops & cafes, it is a wonderfully comfortable option for the growing family or the astute investor, as it is currently leased to a great tenant for $500 per week until September 2015.
