9 Bethell Avenue, Parkdale, Vic 3195

Steeped in history but completely reimagined for modern family living, this beautifully renovated and modernised Californian bungalow certainly dishes up the best of old and new.

Bathed in glorious northerly sunshine and set amongst stunning verdant gardens, the history of the c1929 abode is as rich as it is fascinating. Originally surrounded by market gardens as one of the oldest homes in the area, its first owner was Rose Bethell for which the street was named. And with other notable locals having called ‘Pevensey’ home over the years, it is now your turn to join the impressive list as its next lucky custodian.

Stylishly refurbished with its interiors smartly reconfigured by Fooman Architects to meet – and exceed - contemporary demands, accommodation opens to a central hallway that flows past three bedrooms with fitted storage to the sophisticated fully-tiled bathroom with Velux skylights and traditional clawfoot bath.
At the rear of home, discover a sensational entertainer’s domain. North-facing with serene garden views, the focal point of the living/dining zone is its fireplace and chic concrete hearth, while the first-class kitchen with premium appliances and lots of cupboard space (including a walk-in pantry) is a culinary setting designed to please avid hosts. Towering steel-framed windows and doors connect the interiors to the magnificent, meticulously manicured gardens with alfresco decking and storage shed. A space you will love spending time in – whether relaxing or entertaining – this peaceful sanctuary also has room for a pool down the track should you choose to add one (STCA).

Hydronic heating, refrigerated cooling, split system and a Euro laundry are all standout inclusions along with gated off-street parking for two cars.
Within moments of Mentone’s private and independent schooling options, this prized address is close to the village and station, beautiful Parkdale beach and is in the sought-after zones for both Parkdale and Mentone Girls’ secondary colleges.
