TOWNHOUSE 3/1 Long Street, MentoneVIC

Architectural, adaptable and so cleverly accommodating, this tall tri-level townhouse takes lock and leave lifestyle to a new level. Centered quietly in the heart of a cutting-edge boutique group, this innovative two bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home is high on versatility with sun-bathed indoor-out living flowing north to a balcony-terrace, a second living zone fitted with home-office area and genuine dual-suite accommodation with a private ensuite for each bedroom.

Styled to a cutting-edge specification with a streamlined Smeg appliance kitchen extending to a clever stone-finished laundry (positioned to double as butler’s pantry), the home stars sleek concrete-style and subway-tiled ensuites, slick stone benchtops on custom cabinetry, and wideboard floors meeting plush charcoal carpets.

With designer detail including sparkling pendants above the wide kitchen dining-bench and slatted screening enclosing the staircase, this reverse-cycle air-conditioned, intercom-entry home offers abundant storage - including full-height mirrored robes for both bedrooms and a secure storeroom for auto-gated garaging.

At the gateway to the Peninsula, this top-level townhouse puts the best of beachside living in reach with some of the bay's most swimmable beaches within a jog, the retail village & heritage railway station within a walk, Thrift Park shopping around the corner, and the CBD within a quick direct commute.
