22 Booker St, Cheltenham VIC 3192, Australia
Endlessly spacious, perfectly gracious and so well located on the beach-side, this is where yesterday’s substantial living meets today’s family lifestyle. Master-built in the mid-1950s and extended for today’s big busy family life, this up to five bedroom, two bathroom home is a superior example of its time; unfolding beyond a decorative brick facade (complete with porthole feature window) with an expansive dual-zone floorplan…and more.
Extending beyond traditional gasfire-warmed formal lounge-dining with a sun-filled family zone, this accommodating home offers more living outdoors…with a third living zone in a high-gabled all-weather al fresco zone. Styled with a quality appliance kitchen (with Bosch dishwasher) extending to a clever dual-side walk-through pantry, this quality home fits a growing family with big robe-fitted bedrooms plus a nursery-sized 5th (doubling as home-office) and glossy polished-porcelain-tiled bathrooms (one perfectly positioned to service a rear master wing).
Upgraded with an eye to quality with airy plantation-shutters, velvety wool carpets, shining skylights and excellent storage extending to linen press and hall closet, this reverse-cycle air-conditioned home has the beauty of yesterday… and the perfect family plan for today and tomorrow in 782sqm grounds. Landscaped in traditional style out front with an emphasis on bushland plantings to the rear, there are lawns for kids to play, places to entertain and space to fit the family fleet in a deep double auto garage and dedicated parking on an exposed-aggregate driveway.
Best of all, there’s this family-wise beach-side of the Highway location. almost equally close to Cheltenham’s revitalised retail and rail hub and Mentone’s heritage railway village. Zoned for both Beaumaris and Mentone Girls Secondary Colleges, there are beaches within minutes, Southland just a couple of stops down the line… and all the Mentone schools within easy reach.
