This creatively renovated property offers all the great lifestyle features of the Mornington Peninsula: just a walk or short drive to the beautiful blue waters and sandy beaches of Port Philip Bay, the Rosebud Aquatic Centre and Gym, shopping centre, hospital and schools. What a great environment in which to live!
Behind a white picket fence, set in attractive low-care gardens with tinkling water feature, this charming property has an immediate sense of light and spaciousness. A neutral, calming colour scheme unifies the home. But neutral does not mean bland. Stunning feature lights, window shutters, carefully-placed downlights, and original solid floorboards add a unique ‘country-coastal’ character to the home.
The welcoming entrance foyer leads to a light-filled living room and on to a charming country-style kitchen/dining room with beautiful wormy chestnut benchtops and 900mm freestanding stove. The cleverly designed mobile work station offers great flexibility.
In fact, flexibility is a thoughtful feature throughout this home. The generous walk-in storeroom is currently used as a pantry but could just as easily be a linen and general storage room. The master bedroom has a cleverly concealed WIR; its adjoining study could easily become a nursery for a young family, or be transformed into an ensuite bathroom under the existing roofline.
The home has gas central heating, RC split system, ceiling fans and TV aerial points in both bedrooms. The family bathroom has a deep bath, separate shower, character washstand with mirrored shaving cabinet. There is a separate toilet. The second bedroom is a quiet haven, and the laundry is tucked discretely to one end of the rear deck.
The deck is a great place to relax, or for children to play under cover. It runs the width of the home, with a broad staircase leading down to the private rear garden, where there is much to discover. A large character workshop is fitted with workbenches and built-in storage – it offers further possibilities for the imaginative homeowner. There’s also an undercover, paved entertaining area, next to which raised veggie beds promise the potential to enjoy your own fresh organic salad greens, tomatoes, and herbs. You’ll notice the thoughtful addition of a passionfruit vine growing on its trellis. There’s also multi-purpose, under-house storage.
This is a home and a lifestyle to love and enjoy, with loads of charm and flexibility to suit your individual needs.
