3 Tambet Street, Bentleigh East, Vic 3165

A big and bold family entertainer that tastefully merges its original, circa-1950, mid-century charms with unashamedly modern and environmentally sustainable open-plan and alfresco entertaining, this renovated and extended 4 bedroom residence is a sun-drenched family classic with the added prize of 2 distinct living areas. Set behind a bluestone wall and an attractive garden of established trees, this is a single-level home that evokes a particularly appealing sense of sanctuary.

Respectfully restored period character steps down and gives way to a breath-taking, passively heated and cooled, architecturally designed open-plan rear that is anchored by a stone-topped contemporary kitchen with stainless steel appliances and polished concrete floors. A soaring raked over ceiling with fully double-glazed, north-facing windows introduces year-round northern light to this uplifting space, where glass sliding doors deliver seamless flow to a deck that basks in sunshine. Perfect for entertaining, energy conservation and reduced bills.

Freshly painted throughout, the home flawlessly presents a quartet of generously sized bedrooms – each with built-in robes – and the primary bedroom with a stylish ensuite that is themed to the home’s central bathroom.

Set to the front of the home and gazing out upon its private front gardens, the lounge room is an ambient second living space that is warmed by a roaring open fireplace. Further highlights of this immaculate home include secure driveway parking for 2 vehicles, 10,000 litre water tanks, central heating and cooling.

Walk easily from this brilliant location to Coatesville Primary School and Bentleigh Secondary College (for which the home is zoned) as well as Mackie Reserve, GESAC, Centre Road shopping and café strip, whilst the iconic Oasis Cafe and Chadstone Shopping Centre is also just a few minutes away.
