Two dwellings. Six bedrooms. One extraordinary opportunity. Occupying approximately 1.25 acres within a peaceful Somerville cul-de-sac, this is far from your traditional family home. A substantial four-bedroom residence is joined by a separate two-bedroom dwelling, plus study, creating an enviable arrangement for multigenerational families, independent living or those seeking room to accommodate changing circumstances. Generous land, separate accommodation and remarkable versatility. A rare combination with an exciting future ahead.
Main Residence - A sweeping U-shaped driveway introduces the main residence, where mature trees create a leafy veil of privacy. Inside, a thoughtfully arranged four-bedroom floorplan balances original character with relaxed family comfort. One wing is devoted to the master bedroom with ensuite and walk-in robe, a formal lounge featuring engineered oak flooring and a handy study nook. At the centre, the stone-topped kitchen and dining domain has an island breakfast bench, an Asko dishwasher, pyrolytic wall oven, electric cooktop and country-inspired cabinetry with enduring charm. Continuing through, the casual living area connects with three remaining bedrooms, complete with built-in robes, a main bathroom and basic laundry. Gas log fire, wall heater, overhead fans and split-system cooling cater to the seasons, while outdoor awnings and a pitched-roof alfresco deck (with lighting) extend entertaining options.
Second Residence - Just four years young, the two-bedroom plus study retreat brings a contemporary edge to this dual-living arrangement. High ceilings lend an airy sense of space to the open-plan kitchen, meals and living zone, where soft-close cabinetry, an electric cooktop and pyrolytic wall oven combine style with function. Mirrored built-in robes, a fresh bathroom and separate laundry complete the interior, complemented by split-system cooling, overhead fans and day/night blinds. Double-glazed windows and comprehensive roof, wall and underfloor insulation enhance thermal efficiency and year-round comfort. A front alfresco deck invites outdoor relaxation, while a single carport and heat pump hot water system add further convenience to this self-contained abode.
The grounds unfold into a picturesque tapestry of blooming rose gardens, fruit trees and sprawling lawns, with visiting birdlife adding a delightful soundtrack to the setting. Gated rear vehicle access ensures easy movement throughout the property, while a tool shed, wood shelter and double garage (with rear access) take care of storage. A freestanding multipurpose studio is perfectly suited to hobbies or artistic endeavours. An 18,000-litre water tank supplies the gardens, toilets and washing machine, while a council-compliant wastewater treatment system and three-phase power form part of the property's valuable infrastructure.
First established in 1989 and cherished by the same owners ever since, this much-loved address makes its market debut after more than three decades. Somerville's village atmosphere brings its own rewards, with cafés, shopping centres, schools, rail and bus connections all within easy reach. Peninsula Link opens the gateway to Melbourne's south-east and the wider Mornington Peninsula. Rich in history, exceptional in scope and ready for its next chapter, this is a once-in-a-generation chance to make something truly special your own.
