1 Pleasance Street, Bentleigh, Vic 3204

Absolutely irresistible from the street, this elegant four bedroom weatherboard charmer is full of surprises in its north facing rear garden. Timeless with its high ceilings, ornate cornices, picture rails and sparkling hardwood floors, this elevated classic reveals a wide entry foyer, an endearing lounge with operative fireplace, a classic dining room, a beautiful main bedroom (freestanding robes) and an inspired mosaic floored bathroom with clawfoot bath. A casual family living and dining area forms around the striking central kitchen which features dark stained cabinetry, a 900 mm stainless steel stove and Fisher & Paykel dish drawers in the timber island bench. The kids enjoy their own wing with two large robed bedrooms, a powder room and fitted open laundry. And the surprise? The sun splashed rear garden is an entertainer’s dream with its undercover deck for alfresco living, rolling lawns for the young ones, a jet style pool with spa for a combination of relaxation and exercise; and the versatile studio/bedroom for a private home office or secluded retreat with a loft style sleeping space. With plenty of storage including an attic and lockable external storage, this family favourite is complete with ducted heating, reverse cycle air conditioning, CCTV, an outdoor shower and a double carport. Opposite Bentleigh West Primary School, metres to a swim school and playground, super close to Centre Road’s shops, restaurants and transport, while within easy reach of Dendy Park and Brighton Secondary College.
