Perfectly set on a sprawling 2,501sqm allotment in one of Mount Martha's most coveted pockets, this beautifully renovated five-bedroom residence offers a rare combination of generous family living, refined contemporary style, and tantalising glimpses of Port Phillip Bay. Elevated to capture the surrounding treetops and framed by lush, established gardens, the home delivers a true sense of escape while remaining moments from the village, beaches and the Esplanade.
A striking rendered façade with crisp black trims, manicured topiary and a sweeping bitumen driveway create instant kerb appeal, leading to a double garage and a separate paved guest entry. Step inside and the home immediately impresses with its bright, light-filled volumes, soaring ceilings and gleaming Spotted Gum hardwood floors that flow seamlessly through the main living zones. A dedicated formal lounge sits at the front of the home, generous in proportion and bathed in northern light, offering a relaxed retreat that's ideal for quiet evenings or hosting guests in style.
At the heart of the residence, the freshly renovated kitchen is a true showpiece, finished in a clean, modern palette of high-gloss white cabinetry, stone benchtops and a stunning marble-look splashback. A long central island with breakfast bar seating provides the perfect gathering point, while quality stainless-steel appliances including a gas cooktop, wall oven, dishwasher and integrated rangehood ensure the keen home chef is well catered for. Abundant storage and a servery to the deck make day-to-day living and weekend entertaining equally effortless.
Flowing directly from the kitchen, the open-plan living and dining domain is bathed in natural light from oversized picture windows that frame leafy outlooks and those treasured bay glimpses beyond. Twin ceiling fans, downlights and the warmth of timber underfoot give the space a relaxed coastal sophistication, while expansive sliding doors open out to a substantial entertainer's deck - the kind of outdoor room you'll use year-round. Wrapped in glass and stainless-steel balustrading to maximise the elevated vista, the deck comfortably accommodates large lounge settings and an alfresco dining zone, perfect for soaking up the Peninsula sunshine and long summer evenings.
Accommodation is equally impressive, with five well-proportioned bedrooms providing exceptional flexibility for growing families, extended guests or those craving a dedicated home office and gym. The luxurious master suite is a private parents' sanctuary, generously sized and serviced by a stunning, fully renovated ensuite featuring a double floating timber-look vanity with twin vessel basins, backlit oval mirrors, a frameless walk-in rain shower and floor-to-ceiling tiling in soft, contemporary tones. A separate dressing area with built-in storage adds a touch of boutique-hotel indulgence.
The remaining bedrooms are plush-carpeted, light-filled and well serviced by a beautifully appointed second bathroom finished to the same exacting standard.
Step outside and the true magic of this property reveals itself. Set on a sprawling 2,501sqm parcel, the grounds offer a rare sense of space and privacy, with sweeping lawns, mature native plantings and meandering paved pathways that invite exploration. A standout feature is the impressive built-in wood-fired pizza oven, set within a paved entertaining courtyard alongside an outdoor shower - a dream setup for long summer lunches, weekend pizza nights and entertaining family and friends in true Peninsula style. There's ample room for children and pets to run freely, space for a future pool, vegetable gardens or studio, and quiet corners to simply sit and soak up the bushland surrounds and distant shimmer of the bay.
Additional features include a double remote-controlled garage, ducted heating, ceiling fans throughout, quality window furnishings, solar panels for energy efficiency, a substantial laundry, and excellent off-street parking for boats, trailers or the caravan.
Ideally located just a short drive to Mount Martha Village, the Esplanade, South Beach, leading public and private schools, golf courses and the Mornington Peninsula Freeway, 12 Hove Road delivers the very best of Peninsula living - peaceful, private, and beautifully presented, on a landholding that is increasingly hard to find. Whether you're seeking a forever family home, a luxurious sea-change or a premium weekender, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
