2 Clapperton Street, Bentleigh, Vic 3204

On a magnificent 836 sqm approx. block with wide frontage, this cherished three bedroom cream brick classic prides itself on its cul de sac position, its vintage treasures, and its potential to subdivide and develop (Subject to Council Approval). A much loved home for almost 40 years, this mid century gem enjoys a wide entry foyer; a light filled lounge opening to the north facing dining room; original kitchen with Art Deco dining table; a generous family room; three big bedrooms (robes); authentic Art Deco bathroom with terrazzo shower base and pedestal basin; and a separate laundry with toilet. The east facing rear garden has a decked terrace that sits in the generous rear garden, which has the rambling façade of the original potting shed from Bentleigh’s Market Garden days. The potting shed now houses a workshop and studio, with alfresco patios beyond, and a lock up garage leading to a tandem carport to the side. Redeemable features to use as part of a renovation or to repurpose; including a wrought iron security porch; high ceilings; picture rails; etched glass entrance door; Art Deco character, including Bakelite door handles; classic cupboard handles; while also featuring ducted heating and a wide side drive. An outstanding opportunity to renovate the existing home and subdivide; start over for your brand new family home; or redevelop per council’s requirements. Situated on the Brighton East boundary, with Starfish Swim School and delightful playground down the street. A short walk to Molly Dene Bakehouse, Middle Brighton bus, child care, District Brewer café, Bentleigh West Primary School and Brighton Secondary College. Moments to Centre Road shopping precinct, Bentleigh Station, and glorious Victory and Allnutt Parks.
