Make history in the heart of the educational hub with one of the last great originals. One of just ten historic beauties remaining in the Mentone village precinct, Lugano c.1925 is a landmark up to four bedroom, two bathroom Edwardian beauty sympathetically extended to a discreet second-storey and set beyond a hand-wrought iron-fenceline on approx 713sqm north-rear grounds.
Opening with a traditional leadlight entry to a beautiful box-bay-windowed formal lounge (or possible gracious fourth bedroom), this vintage beauty unfolds with a traditional grand master-suite (with walk-through robe to an elegant ensuite), and rises to a versatile first-floor attic-style bedroom level beyond a landing study. Stepping back to all-day north sun with sun-kissed family living-dining, the home flows outwards through dual French doors to entertain in fruitful orchard gardens (complete with luscious veggie boxes)...while a big old-fashioned broad-lawned north-facing backyard will keep the kids entertained.
Endlessly comfortable today with a classic family kitchen (featuring a 900mm Euro range) and a clever laundry/butler's pantry, this reverse-cycle air-conditioned and centrally-heated home is richly detailed with high 3.7m rose-centred, corniced ceilings rising above newly-polished Swedish Baltic pine boards, vintage iron-grate fireplaces set in recycled c.1890 farmhouse mantles, and original architectural detail echoed in wardrobe joinery (supplemented by overhead-cupboards and roof-storage). Even the car accommodation echoes the home's original heritage with a gabled cottage-style double auto-garage beyond a sweeping exposed-aggregate driveway.
Stepping out of the past and into the heart of the baysides most in-demand educational precinct, this increasingly rare original is positioned where the two Grammar Schools meet at the entry to St Bedes College. A walk around the leafy crescents to Kilbreda College, village shopping and the station, theres the pedestrian crossing to the sand within 250m...and a fast-disappearing opportunity to live with period beauty here.
