1 Montague Avenue, St Kilda East, Vic 3183

Cherished by the same family for over four decades, this inter-war period home (c. 1922) offers an abundance of charm and wonderfully functional spaces for entertaining both indoors and out. Generously proportioned, classic lounge and dining rooms set a scene of timeless grandeur, with the latter soothed by a leafy front garden backdrop. A central kitchen/meals features gas cooking, Bosch dishwasher and a nifty concealed cocktail cabinet, while to the rear, a large family area precedes a brick-paved alfresco zone and north-facing backyard highlighted by a sun-soaked lawn and raised veggie boxes. Upstairs, two of the four bedrooms are robed, with the oversized master accompanying a sunroom/retreat enjoying a peaceful outlook, with another stepping through to a light-filled study/retreat boasting back garden aspects. A secure garage plus extra off-street parking, full bathrooms on both levels, gas-ducted heating, reverse-cycle a/c and a separate laundry with outdoor access complete an enchanting opportunity close to transport links, local schools and Alma Village shops/cafés.
