Set high on the rise in one of Dromana's most architecturally revered enclaves, 4 Atunga Terrace offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of local design history with breathtaking bay views stretching from Mount Martha to Melbourne's skyline and the You Yangs beyond.
This three-bedroom, home sits proudly on approx. 843m², showcasing a remarkable legacy as part of a trio of modernist holiday homes designed in 1955 by acclaimed architects Chancellor and Patrick—the same creative force behind the celebrated “Butterfly House” just across the street—pioneers of post-war modern architecture on the Mornington Peninsula. The homes embody the firm's signature coastal-modernist style, with design elements like wide overhanging eaves, clerestory glazing, vertical timber cladding, and a central gable flanked by angled wings—creating an iconic silhouette that remains legible to this day.
The home's light-filled living and kitchen zone opens onto a generous north-facing deck, perfectly positioned to enjoy panoramic bay vistas and peaceful coastal surroundings. A solid fuel fire provides the perfect level of ambience and warmth to the home. A lower-level studio offers flexibility for guests, creative pursuits, or future expansion. While the home has evolved over time, it retains much of its original character and architectural DNA—an ideal candidate for restoration or sympathetic renovation.
Just minutes to Dromana's vibrant cafes, foreshore walking trails and boutiques, this home stands as both a serene seaside retreat and an exceptional piece of Peninsula heritage.
