What's around 24 Grant Rd

The Brief: Mid-century architectural character, garden living and a prized 3,147sqm Somerville setting

It's Addressed: Privately set on an exceptional 3,147sqm parcel just a few hundred metres from the heart of Somerville village, this distinctive architect-designed residence offers a rare combination of privacy, architectural character, contemporary luxury and expansive garden living. Set behind a premium brush fence with an impressive 34m frontage, the gently sloping grounds provide an extraordinary sense of space and seclusion while remaining within easy walking distance of village shops, cafes, sporting and fitness facilities. Designed by prominent Melbourne architect Charles Duncan circa 1975, the home reflects his distinctive approach to relaxed indoor-outdoor living, with its characteristic flat roofline, exposed Oregon timber beams, radiata pine ceilings, extensive glazing and carefully considered orientation. With a north-east aspect, floor-to-ceiling windows draw natural light deep into the home while the original design principles deliver a home that remains naturally comfortable throughout the seasons. At the heart of the home is an expansive new kitchen featuring Woodmatt Oak cabinetry, charcoal drawers, Caesarstone benchtops and a large island with seating, complemented by premium Asko appliances and a Sirius built-in rangehood. A new galley-style laundry continues the attention to detail with Asko appliances, Mountain Ash timber benchtop and integrated LED lighting. The accommodation comprises four bedrooms, with the privately positioned master suite located at the opposite end of the home from the remaining three bedrooms. The master ensuite has been transformed into a lush rainforest-inspired retreat, combining deep natural greens, warm timber, organic stone and abundant greenery to create a secluded, spa-like sanctuary. The main bathroom features porcelain tiling, luxury fixtures and a 1700mm Caroma bath set within a dramatic LED-lit hob. A spacious home office provides an additional dedicated work-from-home space, while the main living area features a premium remote-controlled Illusion gas log fire and new Rinnai whole-house heating and cooling, with individual remote controls in every room. Perhaps the home's most distinctive feature is its relationship with the garden. A beautiful central atrium/conservatory-style alfresco brings greenery into the heart of the home, complete with indoor planting, festoon lighting and a remote-controlled outdoor wall heater. Multiple pergola and outdoor entertaining areas extend the living spaces into the garden, including a new front pergola designed to capture the morning north-east sun and new aluminium bifold stacker doors opening to the rear patio. Outside, the property delivers an extraordinary amount of space rarely found in such a central Peninsula location. The landscaped gardens are predominantly planted with Australian natives, surrounding expansive areas of lawn and creating a private, established setting. For those needing serious workspace, storage or a place for hobbies, the property includes a substantial 75sqm powered rear shed and workshop, complete with a Coonara wood heater. The property also provides a two-car undercover semi-enclosed garage with a large adjoining storage room, together with an asphalt driveway and generous turning circle. Further improvements include premium new blinds throughout, remote-controlled blinds to the master bedroom and main kitchen/living areas, new front entry doors designed to complement the original hardwood doors, premium NZ wool loop-pile carpets to the bedrooms and new matte-black framed aluminium wardrobes incorporating smoked glass and Woodmatt Oak finishes. Just a short walk from Grant Road Reserve, village shops, cafes, sporting and fitness facilities, the property enjoys a remarkably central Peninsula position. With the region's best beaches just minutes away, and approximately 14 minutes from Mornington, Frankston/Mt Eliza and Hastings, it offers an enviable balance of privacy, land, lifestyle and accessibility.
