7 Francis Street, Mordialloc, Vic 3195

"Lethe" is a local landmark with an unbeatable track record for beauty. Originally built in 1908 for famous Victorian trainer Jack Holt, 'The Wizard of Mordialloc", a gracious Edwardian residence steeped in tradition. This fine four bedroom plus home-office Edwardian retains all its historic value through meticulous restoration including ornate ceiling roses, cornices, skirting boards and three fireplaces (one marble). A beautiful leadlight front door leads down the wide central hallway to one of three living areas which link the original house to the converted stable. Timeless timber kitchen, huge dual vanity bathroom with separate WC, large airy laundry and attic storage are all included. Wrapped by return veranda and bracketed by two driveways (one with two-car carport, the other perfect for boat or visitor parking) the grounds are still spacious. Entertainers will love the private rear garden which included landscaped solar heated inground pool beside a BBQ and dining area and an elevated cubby. Set in a lovely leafy street leading to Kavanagh Reserve with an old-fashioned milk bar around the corner. Walking distance from cafes, beach, railway station, shops and schools - this is perfect family living!
