Magnificently set within breathtaking botanic gardens with a north-south tennis court and striking bay view, this historic residence's spectacular dimensions beautifully celebrate 1920s elegance while providing every modern family comfort with an effortless sense of style.
Designed as a single story seaside house in the early 1920’s by Walter Burley Griffin subsequently extended and updated by others, and set within glorious gardens on 2,360sqm (approx), the splendid interior is replete with soaring ceilings, exquisite double-hung windows and original Baltic pine floors. The wide, wrap-around verandah introduces a calming environment of warmth, with a stacked stone open fireplace in the elegant formal lounge, inviting entertaining on a grand scale out to the northern gardens. An expansive family room also has a fireplace, perfect for casual enjoyment with the family, whilst the entertainer's kitchen offers easy access for catering to the verandah and beyond, to the red-clay tennis court and seating area beneath the Magnolia Grandiflora.
Ascend the stairs to three of the five bedrooms, a contemporary bathroom and another living space that invites summer relaxation on the balcony. Another two bedrooms, a second bathroom and laundry/powder room are on the ground floor, whilst evaporative cooling, ducted heating, split system air conditioning, a 9m x 6m shed/garage, and plenty of off-street parking provide every comfort required. Exclusively situated in a prized Beleura Hill country lane just 300m from Mills Beach and Mornington Golf Course, this exquisite home sits amongst Mornington's period elite, offering an undeterred lifestyle of grandeur and unsurpassed leisure.
