21 Rudyard Street, Bentleigh East

Very neat, beautifully maintained and generously proportioned, this single-level home is comfortable exactly as it is, with scope to renovate, reconfigure or add your own ideas over time. Polished floorboards bring warmth through the interior, while large front windows draw in the light and the garden adds a pleasant leafy outlook.

The living room sits at the front with a split-system air conditioner, flowing through to the dining area and adjoining kitchen. Timber cabinetry, good bench space, a dishwasher and ample storage make it efficient for everyday use. Three large bedrooms sit off the central hallway, two with built-in robes and one with its own split-system.

The contemporary bathroom has already had a smart update, with dark tiling, a full-sized bath and walk in shower and additional separate toilet. Ducted heating and a walk-in laundry round out the features. At the rear, a covered verandah opens to the north-facing backyard, creating a sunny outdoor area with room to relax, potter or make more of in the years to come.

The garage has direct backyard access, additional storage sits behind it, and there is parking for two more cars in the driveway. The location is a major part of the appeal. Zoned for sought-after Coatesville Primary School and South Oakleigh College, it is also close to St Bede’s College and St Peter’s Primary School, with Oakleigh Station, Oakleigh Central, East Bentleigh shopping, Chadstone, Southland, Karkarook Park and Huntingdale Golf Club all within easy reach.

For first-home buyers looking to get a foothold or downsizers wanting one-level ease without giving up useful living space, it is a very tempting place to start the next chapter.
