Enviably positioned in the bowl of a leafy court in a family-focussed Mornington neighbourhood, this beautifully presented four-to-five-bedroom family sanctuary is rich in 1970s modernist charm and offers an adaptive and flexible layout designed for spacious light-filled indoor/outdoor living and relaxed poolside entertaining in tranquil, private surrounds.
Landscaped with native and coastal-inspired plants and established trees, the double-storey rendered brick and timber home has been recently refreshed and updated with crisp white paintwork and plush carpets, enhancing the modernist beachy vibe. Large format windows provide outlooks to the front garden and a fishpond, while a woodfire heater provides a cosy ambience in the ground-level living area.
The central kitchen is well equipped with a Bosch oven, a gas cook top and dishwasher and has a servery window to the all-season decked undercover alfresco zone, which extends to incorporate a deck-surrounded above-ground swimming pool. There is a stylish downstairs bathroom, with a free-standing tub and walk-in shower, and a sliding barn-style door opens to another large living area (or fifth bedroom) with deck access, plus there is a study. Upstairs is a spacious skylit living area/retreat with glass sliding doors opening to a broad balcony offering west-facing sunset sky views across the neighbourhood treetops. Also upstairs are four good-sized bedrooms, all with fitted robes, including the spacious main with views across the balcony, and the family bathroom with walk-in shower.
Additional features include Nobo wall panel heaters, a laundry with external access, plenty of storage, off-street parking, a lush lawn area in the backyard with fire-pit area, garden shed, woodshed and a lemon tree.
Located in a low traffic, established Mornington neighbourhood, the home is close to the outstanding lifestyle amenities of Mornington Civic Reserve and Benton's Square shopping centre. It is also on bus routes to connect to schools, transport, and shopping, and in walking distance to Fossil beach, with easy access to the Mornington Peninsula Freeway.
