34 Collins Street, Mentone, Vic 3194

Renovated, extended and beautifully presented, this character-filled period gem - the childhood home of celebrated writer Germaine Greer - is being offered for only the second time in its history.

Instantly captivating thanks to its unique clinker brick facade, the 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom two-storey home on an impeccably kept 767sqm (approx) opens to welcoming interiors that have been tastefully reimagined for modern family living. Offering both formal and casual living areas, it boasts a stunning gourmet kitchen with entertainer's island and gleaming stainless steel appliances - including a brand new dishwasher.

Featuring a peaceful ground floor master with walk-in robe and designer ensuite, the home offers a first-floor bathroom which has also been finished to please and services the three upstairs bedrooms. A full laundry, ducted heating, multiple split systems, a working fireplace, alarm, incredible amounts of storage throughout and three attic access points are all highlights of a truly heart-warming home.

Outside, alfresco decking looks out across the generous backyard - which has plenty of room for a pool if desired (STCA). An auto garage and additional off-street parking round off a fabulous and brilliantly located package.

In the prized catchment zones for both Mentone Girls and Beaumaris secondary colleges, the home is an easy stroll to the village & station, bus stops, parks, golf courses and the bay.
