A vision of elegance and grace behind sweeping lawns and shade gardens, this substantial home represents utopia for a family in this much-loved neighbourhood with parks, shops, school and sport and recreation clubs all within easy walking distance. Family life couldn’t get easier where kids enjoy a leisurely five minute walk to school or take the nearby walkway to Mornington Civic Reserve with its duck lake, skatepark, sporting clubs and rose gardens, while Benton Square Shopping Centre is also an easy 15 minute walk or a quick trip in the car. Blending heritage charm with contemporary elegance, the four-bedroom home provides three living areas for lounging and entertaining, including the parent’s lounge, a tiled open plan family room currently used as a billiards room and an upstairs lounge ideal as a children’s retreat beside the bedrooms. A conservatory-style dining area is flanked in glass, while a covered alfresco area that wraps around the rear of the home provides space for summer dinner parties and outdoor lounging. The generous kitchen is well equipped with dishwasher, gas cooktop and wall oven, with the laundry in easy reach offering an abundance of extra storage space. The lower level master suite enjoys privacy beside the parent lounge and study in this well executed floorplan, while three upper level bedrooms are serviced by the family bathroom with a shower and bath positioned beneath a giant ceiling skylight. Just minutes from the heart of Mornington with its fabulous range of restaurants, boutiques and beaches, the home also includes a built-in barbecue, ducted heating, airconditioning, a double remote-controlled garage and double side gates allowing you to securely park your boat or caravan.
