5 Latona Street, Mentone, VIC 3194

Step back in time to when kaftans were the fashion, Mai-Tais by the pool were the passion, and long low homes on big blocks of beachside land were the obsession! A sensational 1970s estate just 200m direct to the sand via the lane opposite, this approx 1000sqm property comprises an architectural split-level home linked to a double garage by a covered walkway, a sun-bathed pool stretching northwards in the spectacularly deep (65.7m) rear… and a view to the future!

See the potential in this innovative four bedroom plus home-office, two bathroom home and work with all the best design elements of the era to create a distinctive new home for today. Appreciate the space in split-level formal lounge and dining warmed by a marble-hearth open-fireplace, a poolside family zone wrapped by full-height sliders, and a private master wing with its own walled courtyard. Then add in the soaring clerestory roofline, walls of exposed brick and vintage bespoke cabinetry and restore this time-capsule home to its former glory.

Alternatively, kick back in reverse-cycle air-conditioned comfort with alarm, CCTV and a Mai-Tai while you make plans to glorify this prime beachside address with a brand new home or two (subject to Council Approval). A safe stroll direct to the Lifesaving Club, a walk to all the Mentone schools and just four blocks to the new station and shopping village, this beachside estate is ready lead the way again!
