15 Brian Street, Bentleigh East, Vic 3165

Deceptively large, this bungalow is bright and accommodating, with space to gather both indoors and outdoors. 

The flow from the living room through to the dining area and kitchen beyond is very liveable, perfectly designed for family life. The kitchen features white cupboards with black Formica benchtops, and the cupboards continue into the dining area, providing fantastic storage options. 

All four bedrooms are large, and the master has dual aspect windows overlooking the rear and side gardens, creating a pretty and relaxing space. The home office, just inside the front door, has floor to ceiling shelving on one wall as well as plenty of space for at least two desks. 

Desirable in any family home, there are two bathrooms (one with shower, toilet and wash basin, the other with full white bathroom suite, including a second shower over the bathtub). 

The established fruit trees (lemon, lime and mandarin) provide a gorgeous backdrop to the sunny patio, which catches the sun most of the day, and the north-facing backyard also features four raised planter beds, ideal for cultivating fruit and vegetables. Two Colorbond sheds sit neatly at the rear fence line, ensuring ample storage for gardening tools or outside play equipment, and adjacent to the sheds is a secure gate which opens onto Colin Street Reserve – a real bonus!

Other features include solar panels (installed 2 years ago), electric heat pump hot water system (installed 1 year ago), separate laundry with space for both washer and dryer, wooden flooring throughout, except for tiles in the wet rooms, large windows with 5mm thick glass, and reverse cycle heating/cooling in the living room and in each bedroom.

This residential pocket is ideal for families – 500m from Tucker Road shops, close to schools, (Tucker Road Bentleigh Primary and Bentleigh Secondary College both within a km), with public transport links and ovals nearby – and would suit people looking for immediate liveability coupled with opportunities to further enhance this practical home.
