Every bit practical as it is beautiful, this family home combines the equine lovers' rural needs with family functionality set on 2.5 acres (approx.). Taking inspiration from period architecture; recycled red bricks and ornate details bring together an elegant residence appealing to parents with a family focused layout featuring three distinct living areas. Proximity to Woodleigh, and local primary schools paint the picture of a forever home with the addition of a self-contained unit offering a separate bedroom with walk-in robe, ensuite and complete kitchen with the peaceful outlook of mature foliage and manicured grounds. Thoughtfully designed with entertaining in mind, the north-facing alfresco serves as the true heart of the home showcasing seamless connectivity with each internal zone. A spacious farm-style kitchen positions an oversized island bench amongst ample storage, tiled splashback, bar nook and the allure of a triple-door Belling range cooker. Central to all, the family domain offers both living and dining balanced with formal alternatives and the spotted gum alfresco where zip-track blinds, strip heating and ceiling fans transform the space into an all weather extension for everyday entertaining. Glass pool fencing separates the splash of the solar heated pool from the rest of the party. Positioned for privacy the master bedroom continues the home’s distinct character with quality timber windows, walk-in robe and encaustic-style tiles in the ensuite where a walk-in shower and double vanity indulges in marble finishes. Two additional bedrooms provide built-in robes whilst sharing a central bathroom. On-site equestrian facilities include flexi fibre topped horse arena (22m x 55m) with lighting, three post and rail paddocks, walk in/out shelters + feed shed, and dedicated float parking. A home office or forth bedroom completes the internal layout, whilst ducted heating, evaporative cooling, security system, 15,000L water tank provide all the comforts of a modern farm lifestyle. Outside, an oversized garage (9mX12m) promises enviable space for cars, toys and workshop benches in this prime position on the fringe of the Mornington Peninsula where rural living meets an iconic coastal lifestyle.
