19 Shearman Crescent, Mentone, VIC, 3194, Australia

Located in a quiet cul-de-sac, this spacious and bright renovated 5 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom family home with dual zone living unfolds beyond high secure front fence in manicured gardens. Opening with a classic entry leading to a formal sitting-room (with gas logfire), the home flows past a central study nook to a substantially extended family zone featuring a huge open plan kitchen (with designer stone benches, breakfast bar, dual-fuel upright family-sized oven and Asko dishwasher) plus a butler's pantry to make you the envy of all home entertainers.

But it doesn't end there; bi-fold windows open to an undercover entertaining area to bring the outside in and allow for ease of entertaining, while wide glass sliders from the family room (with split-system air-conditioner) also lead directly to the rear yard. Let the kids play in the cubby while you enjoy the decked low-maintenance entertaining area, or head behind the secure glass pool-fence to an oasis you will never want to leave. Set in established gardens, this salt-water pool comes complete with shade-sail and solar-heating, while two cleverly positioned sheds house the pool equipment and toys.

Back inside, downstairs is finished off with a full-size laundry, and flexible fifth bedroom (or home office ) and a powder-room, while upstairs four more double bedrooms (all with built-in robes) are serviced by a family-sized bathroom (with separate bath, shower and dual-vanity), while the master bedroom features a walk-in robe and dual-vanity ensuite.

Features are numerous, with split-system air-conditioning downstairs, ducted cooling upstairs, fans for most rooms, the gas-logfire for the sitting-room, and a double remote-control lock-up garage (with workshop and shed) plus driveway parking for a further 2 cars.

Located within the Mentone Girls Secondary and the Beaumaris Secondary College zones, the home has Mentone shops, beach and station within walking distance, and Southland within a few minutes' drive. Buy now, move in and enjoy the summer, then let the kids walk to school next year!
