53 Plummer Road, Mentone VIC 3194
4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 697sqm, single-storey Californian Bungalow, fully renovated, 200m from beach and shops, pool and studio included.
This property is competitively strong because it offers a fully renovated period home with a pool and a separate studio, a combination rarely found this close to the beach and the Mentone shopping village. The house sits on a standard 697sqm block, but the renovation has maximised its use with three living zones and high-end finishes like 3m ceilings and preserved period details. It serves best a family seeking a turnkey character home with space for children and a resort-style outdoor area, without the need for further work. Its position within the suburb is unusual—most renovated Californian Bungalows of this scale are further inland or lack the pool and studio, giving this property a distinct lifestyle edge.
Several factors might materially affect the value of this property. The low rental yield, around 2 percent, reflects its high capital value and may limit its appeal to investors, but this is typical for premium beachside homes. The building area discrepancy, with one source listing 212sqm and another 332sqm, could indicate the studio and carport are included in the larger figure; a buyer should clarify this to understand usable space. The 697sqm lot is standard for the area, so no land premium exists, but the pool and studio add functional value that may justify the price. The lack of heritage overlay is a neutral factor—it protects no character but also imposes no constraints on future changes.
