A home with a style all its own, tucked into a peaceful cul-de-sac in a family-friendly Mornington neighbourhood. With its striking gabled roofline, welcoming verandahs and a hint of contemporary country charm, this distinctive four-bedroom residence makes an impression before you even step inside. Beyond its character-filled exterior, an arrangement of interconnected levels delivers a creative take on family living, with space, privacy, versatility and personality in abundance.
A timber staircase entry introduces the home's unique layout, with double doors opening to a sunken living room featuring the timeless appeal of an open fireplace. The country-style kitchen adds warmth and practicality, complete with a walk-in pantry, wall oven, gas cooktop, dishwasher and breakfast bar, flowing through to the adjoining meals and family area. Tucked away in a separate wing, two bedrooms are accompanied by a timber-topped main bathroom and laundry.
Upstairs, loft-inspired ambience unfolds around a skylit retreat, where dado panelling adds to its relaxed atmosphere. Another bedroom connects to handy attic storage, while the privately positioned master bedroom offers peace and quiet, complete with a walk-in robe and ensuite.
A combination of evaporative cooling, gas ducted heating and split-systems cater to the changing seasons, while a light colour scheme, built-in robes, plantation shutters and day/night blinds add the finishing touches.
A pitched-roof alfresco and BBQ area invites year-round entertaining, with overhead fans, timber decking and plenty of room to gather with family and friends. Established screening trees provide a leafy, secluded backdrop, while a stretch of lawn offers space for children and pets.
The shady wraparound verandah continues across the front of the home. A double remote garage opens through to additional storage and a versatile multipurpose room, equally suited to a home gym, workshop, creative studio or workspace. In one of the downstairs bedrooms there is also the added bonus of the private study nook with access to the under-stair storage. Off-street parking provides room for extra vehicles, a caravan or trailer.
Leave the car at home and stroll to Benton Junior College and Bentons Square Shopping Centre, with local bus services and further schooling options adding to the ease of daily life. Main Street Mornington is just a short drive away, brimming with boutiques, cafés, restaurants and seaside atmosphere. The wider Mornington Peninsula invites exploration, from golden beaches and picturesque coastal walks to celebrated cellar doors and culinary delights, where every weekend brings something new to discover.
