Description

Elevated on the hill with views over the Balcombe Creek valley and the bay, this stylishly renovated 5 bedroom 2 bathroom family haven is a sanctuary for entertaining.

On 807sqm approx. with 2 street frontages, this open and airy home has been renovated in comfort with its retro origins retaining its beamed raked ceilings and split level charm, while offering a sense of separation and connection through its free-flowing floorplan. Full of light, it features a sunken style relaxed lounge, a fabulous central entertainer's kitchen with sleek Smeg 900mm stove, plumbing for fridge and amazing storage; a casual living and dining area with wood heater and window wall looking out to a screen of Bamboo; a gorgeous main bedroom with a designer ensuite, powder room, robes and a stacker sliding door (phantom flyscreen) to a peaceful decked oasis with bench seat and boardwalk through the lush greenery; 3 further double bedrooms (robes) a separated 5th bedroom or study (robes), a bright semi ensuite, 2nd toilet and chic laundry.

With a series of alfresco decks scattered around the grounds, you can entertain on the front deck taking in the sea breeze and the bay in front of the lush lawn; you can catch up with quiet conversation on the deck by the main bedroom, or barbecue on the side deck off the 2nd living area. All this, and the kids or grandkids will love the soft-fall toppings in the rear garden to ride bikes, play on the adventure playground, marvel at the dry riverbed, use their imagination in the sandpit, potter in the vermin-proof vegie garden, collect eggs from the chicken run, hang out in the cubby or you could use the colourful studio as a playhouse or art space. While the generous rear shed is big enough for a tinny or jetski, paddleboards, surfboards, beach toys or tools of the trade and direct access from Hopetoun Avenue, there's also a double carport via the access way.

Dressed with designer lighting, timber look floors and black tapware, you'll love how interactive the garden is with the home, and the comforts of ducted heating, air conditioning, ceiling fans and a security door within.

In this peaceful semi-rural setting, a casual stroll to Mount Martha Village via the parks and Bay Road, Balcombe Grammar, Mt Martha Primary School and transport, while only minutes to The Briars and the beach.
