One of the last landmark period homes on the hill, Jacaranda c.1908 is a bay view beauty that never loses sight of modern family living. Expertly renovated and extended to offer four beautiful bedrooms and 2.5 designer bathrooms over two lofty storey, this veranda-wrapped home steps beyond traditional formal lounge and dining rooms to a vast family zone lit by an immense circular window within a soaring two-storey roofline.

Configured for a modern family with private ground-floor master-suite and a bay-view secondary master large enough to double as first-floor living, this heated, air-conditioned and alarmed home offers state-of-the-art style with a butler's pantry and every European appliance (including espresso machine) for the stone and glass splashback kitchen, a designer ensuite with freestanding bath, a gorgeous gas-log fireplace, stylish ceiling fans, pretty plantation-shutters and handy built-in and walk-in robes.

Even the lushly landscaped approx 746sqm gardens combine yesterday's grace with today's family space, with a wraparound rear verandah providing elegant al fresco entertaining, a streamlined solar-heated and glass fenced pool adding a cool cutting-edge and an auto-gated double auto-garage for perfect practicality. Just 300m to the bay, two blocks to the station and minutes by road, train or cycle from the Mentone schools, this is a premier period home ...and an outstanding family opportunity.
