7 Albenca Street, Mentone, Vic 3194

Situated on a tremendous 809 sqm (approx), this four-bedroom family home has been reimagined in a contemporary context, presenting new improvements throughout, while still retaining many of its charming, original characteristics.

The fireplace in the living room is the natural centre of the home, and suits more intimate, private occasions. It contrasts with the family room at the rear, which boasts new flooring and offers a light & airy space to congregate before flowing through sliding doors onto the backyard. Strategically aligned to make the most of the property’s east-west exposure, the backyard includes two large sheds, a workshop/studio, and an oversized two-car garage. 

While it remains in original condition, the kitchen exemplifies the virtues of maintenance and care, remaining as beautiful today as when it was first built. With a full wall of storage, tiled-splashbacks, and wraparound benchtops with a breakfast bar, it is well-equipped to meet any culinary challenge. Finalising the floorplan are four large bedrooms (three with BIR), a family bathroom, and laundry.

Ready to be moved into immediately, renovators can feel free to extend and improve upon the existing home. Alternatively, there is scope for redevelopment if so desired (STCA).

Serenely situated around the corner from Mentone Racecourse Reserve and Thrift Park SC, the property easily links to Parkdale & Mentone stations, arterial roads, and the foreshore, while placing leading private schools, Cheltenham station village, and Southland SC within easy reach.
