The 
glass-enclosed main living areas are proof that this house was “ahead of its time” when it was built in 1989.

“It (the design) makes the most of the light and the views,’’ says Point2 Real Estate director Dorothy Alkemade. “Those views include the (Port Phillip) bay, Arthurs Seat and the Bellarine Peninsula.”

Views aside, the 2409sqm property has plenty of other assets including “lovely landscaped gardens’’, a tennis court, an in-ground pool and parking bay for a boat or a caravan.

The Point2 Real Estate director says the two-storey home itself provides five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a study and centrally located kitchen and a communal living zone which is bathed in natural light. The banks of glass and accompanying cathedral ceilings enhance the sense of light and space which permeates these shared areas.

The home also has zoned living so children and parents can enjoy separate spaces. The children’s “wing’’ features three bedrooms fitted with built-in robes as well as a bathroom and separate toilet, while upstairs the adults have a generous main bedroom with their own balcony for more of those views.

Visitors staying overnight also will be happy because on the ground level there is a guest’s bedroom with walk-in robe and ensuite, which is located well away from the kids’ sleeping areas for privacy.

Ample deck space adjoining the main living zones means entertaining friends and family will be a breeze. While the property is situated in a quiet hillside location, it is within a short driving distance of private schools and the Mount Eliza (2.5km away) shopping village.

“It’s walking distance to The Peninsula School – about 1km – and has direct access to Peninsula Link, meaning a trip to the city will take under an hour in non-peak periods,’’ Ms Alkemade says.

“We also have nearby golf courses, wineries, cafes and Mt Eliza has some of the best schools.”

The agent says the home will appeal mainly to families. “It will be perfect for families with young children or teenagers. It would work for both because of the zoned living
set-up.”

She adds that the home is attracting interest from “Bayside people looking for bigger land and more space”.

“Buyers are moving into the area to get value for money because of the infrastructure like Eastlink and Peninsula Link which makes a trip to Melbourne 50 minutes or so in time length,” Ms Alkemade says. “You can buy a property like this for much less than what you would pay in the city.”
