6 Hayes Street, Bentleigh, Vic 3204

All those period features that gave such flair to the interior design of homes built c. 1940s are on show - high ceilings with ornate cornices, stained timber architraves, striking ornamental ceilings, and picture rails in the entrance hall and many other rooms. What's more there are timber floorboards under the carpets, and there are charming etched glass double-doors into the comfortable lounge room (with northerly aspect) and again into the adjoining dining room. But time hasn't stood still here. While the 3-bedroom home has been meticulously maintained, it has also been enhanced with the recent additions of a bright new skylit kitchen at the heart of the house, and a sparkling, fully tiled bathroom with frameless glass shower and western red cedar ceiling. The kitchen has heaps of easy-clean cabinetry, soft-close drawers and stainless steel appliances including a wide gas stove only a couple of months old. Timber venetian blinds throughout, reverse-cycle A/C, a 2nd toilet off the laundry, plenty of off-street parking, and a plus size storage shed are included.
The large private garden features a huge old palm tree that helps give a laidback vacation atmosphere to alfresco entertaining here.
In the McKinnon Secondary College zone, a heartbeat to Centre Road shops, cafes, restaurants and the train, walk to sports grounds, playgrounds and Catholic schools.
You'd never know from the leafy, tree-lined street that this fine property (on land approx 725sqm) is so close to thriving Centre Road shops, eateries, trains, and businesses. It is also close to parks, buses, recreation - and it is in the zone for McKinnon Secondary College!
