With an ambience that blends the interiors of an opulent chalet with the modern spoils of a coastal lifestyle retreat, this 5-bedroom residence delivers a unique offering just moments from the shores of Birdrock Beach. A private facade of weatherboard and natural stone matches an open interior with polished hardwood floors, solid timber doors and wool carpets, with a unique ceiling profile, including a gable roof separated from the remainder by large rusticated support beams taken from a heritage structure in the Docklands and a natural stone fireplace that further accentuates its alpine-meets-coastal charm. The living spaces are as versatile as they are elegant, served by a stone kitchen with quality supporting appliances and a bi-fold servery window to the west-facing deck and yard. Entertaining is a breeze as it wraps around to the inground solar-heated pool and a separate studio/pool house, ideal for hosting guests or an at-home workspace with abundant attic storage. Each of the three upper-level bedrooms features private balconies over the two on the ground level, including the main suite, distinguished by its walk-in robe and pendant bath ensuite. Additional features include refrigerated heating/cooling, solar power, a double garage with ample workshop space, dual access to Finch Street and Morrisons Avenue, and outdoor shower provisions for the incoming sandy toes. The perfect fusion of form, function, and beauty materialises in one of the Peninsula's most sought-after coastal locations, a short walk to Birdrock Beach, Mount Martha Village and South Beach, whilst being remarkably convenient to quality schooling, Mornington township, and freeway and highway access.
