Rich in early 1980s modernist-inspired retro appeal, this four bedroom, three bathroom single-level Mount Martha family home retains all the architectural hallmarks of its celebrated Fasham-Johnson origins, while a recent custom renovation brilliantly enhances contemporary liveability with an organic-inspired materials palette.
Positioned on a fully landscaped 715sqm* corner block in a rustic coastal neighbourhood, just six doors to the water's edge, the classic solid brick home is set behind an automated gate with side-street access. A paved driveway offers secure off-street parking and leads to a double remote operated garage with internal and rear sideway access. An architectural pergola caps the entry deck, and the front door opens to reveal the home's light-filled dimensions and flowing, open floorplan, wrapped around a central courtyard.
Engineered French oak flooring flows through the hallway, which edges a pure wool carpeted study and travertine tiled lounge with gas log fire heater. Designed for family functionality and effortless entertaining, the expansive main open plan living area is capped by soaring cathedral ceilings with triangular highlight windows and is headed by a gleaming stone topped 2-pac kitchen which is well equipped with double AEG ovens, an Electrolux induction cooktop and Miele dishwasher. Glass sliding doors open to the undercover alfresco courtyard which flows to an expansive paved and lawned area.
Zoned at the front of the home, the main bedroom suite is complemented by a custom fitted walk-in robe and luxe terrazzo tiled ensuite. The rear wing of the home contains a laundry/utility room, and large hexagonal-shaped bedroom (or retreat) with external access and a shower ensuite, ideal as teenager or guest accommodation. There are another two bedrooms, with built-in robes, new carpets and blinds, and the bespoke floor-to-ceiling tiled main bathroom has a free-standing (back-to-wall) tub and walk-in shower.
Additional features include split system heating/cooling, new carpets and blinds (shade and block-out), manicured wraparound gardens with curved brick pathways, lush lawns, rockeries, and established private greenery. There are also approved plans/permits to install a swimming pool and spa.
Idyllically located just six doors to the Esplanade, where you can step on to Mount Martha's coast-hugging walking tracks that edge the bay taking you to secluded Craigie or Hawker beaches, or stroll to the Balcombe Estuary boardwalk, Mount Martha Village, and popular North and South beaches. It's also an easy walk to the Dava Hotel, and Dava Drive cafes and shops.
