Luxury living on a grand scale - welcome to a rare masterpiece, a home that is as iconic as it is timeless.
History & Prestige
First featured on the front cover of Home Beautiful Magazine in 1936, this landmark residence was crafted by the original owner M.C. Tomasetti. Perched high on the ridge, it commands breathtaking views across Port Phillip Bay and the Melbourne CBD.
Location
From your front door, you're less than a kilometre's stroll to the beach and boat ramp, placing lifestyle and leisure right at your fingertips.
Situated in the coveted Frankston High School Zone, the home is surrounded by some of Victoria's most respected schools - including Peninsula Grammar, Toorak College, Haileybury, and Woodleigh, all within easy reach.
Healthcare is equally close, with Frankston Hospital and Peninsula Private Hospital just minutes away. Plus, with easy access to Mornington Peninsula Freeway and Eastlink, the city and the Peninsula's wineries, beaches, and golf courses are all at your doorstep.
First Impressions
Arrive through the newly fitted Red Hill Country gates and you're met with nearly 100 metres of street frontage, handcrafted stonework, automatic lighting, and manicured gardens - a commanding presence that instantly impresses.
Grounds & Gardens
Set on nearly 1,700sqm, the property offers lush, dual-zoned irrigated gardens, automatic throughout the garden creating that magical feeling once the skies turn to dusk. Added security lighting at every entry point, and a keypad alarm system - blending beauty with peace of mind.
Architecture & Style
Step inside to discover art deco charm seamlessly blended with French Provincial elegance. Every detail speaks to quality, history, and refined taste.
Accommodation
With 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 4 toilets, and multiple living zones, this home is designed for modern luxury and family comfort.
Car enthusiasts will love the 5-car accommodation, including a double lock-up garage with room for trailers.
Comfort & Efficiency
Every living space has been thoughtfully updated with split-system heating and cooling, full ceiling and underfloor insulation, and two charming wood fires to create warmth and ambiance.
Master Retreat
The renovated master suite is a sanctuary. Indulge in a 5-star ensuite with marble tiles, dual shower heads, heated towel rails, and a designer walk-in robe with LED lighting and custom Hepburn hardware.
Lifestyle & Entertaining
To the north, a 90,000L concrete pool with nearly 2 metres of depth invites endless summer fun. Entertain family and friends with BBQs, poolside gatherings, and long afternoons under the sun.
Extra Spaces
Underneath, a versatile multipurpose room awaits - currently a home gym and storage, but easily transformed into a wine cellar, art studio, or kids' retreat. Two 5,000L water tanks also service the grounds.
Moments & Memories
From New Year's Eve fireworks to the Frankston Festival of Lights, this is a home where you'll enjoy unforgettable moments with a front-row seat from your very own terrace.
And something you'll experience all year round - the ever-changing bay and city views. The sunsets here are spectacular, but especially during the winter solstice, when the skies light up in shades of pink, purple, yellow, and red. It's the kind of beauty that's almost impossible to capture in words - you simply have to see it for yourself.
The property also comprises two street frontages with car entry points from both 83 Kars St & 26 The Ridge. (Property also known as 83 Kars St Frankston South)
Conclusion
This residence combines presence, elegance, and warmth - a loving home ready for its next custodians to add their own stories, memories, and legacy to the vision first brought to life by M.C. Tomasetti..
