The main townhouse-style residence sits on 380sqm of land and is a thoroughly modern affair. The five-year-old home has a contemporary façade with a mix of brick and lightweight materials and offers three bedrooms, a stylish yet practical entertainer’s kitchen, open-plan spaces and indoor-outdoor living.

From an aesthetics point of view, visitors to this property will note the spotted gum flooring on the ground level and its high ceilings. But they will also be pleased that from a functional perspective, it has a living and dining zone with a feature fireplace, a well-located study, as well as a double lock-up garage and built-in workman’s bench.

They will further appreciate that the main communal living area has bifold door access to generous alfresco decking.
On the second level the indoor-outdoor and theme is continued.

The minor bedroom and rumpus zone have access to a covered balcony area while the master bedroom offers built-in robes and a bathroom. 
Of course, the real bonus for prospective buyers of this property will be the beach box – Beach Box 31, located on one “of the Mornington Peninsula’s most desired beaches”.

“The fully restored beach box come boat shed offers secure storage, front merbu decking and the perfect base for endless summer experiences,” Mr Trebilcock says.

“The box is a spacious 9-metre by 2.2-metre beach box, offering sunsets that you can only dream about. This sort of property coupling does not come along every day. In fact, it’s the first that our agency has come across. It’s an opportunity for someone to buy something unique and historic.”

The Mornington sales agent says the property and accompanying beach box will appeal to families who enjoy the great outdoors and love to entertain.

“You can walk down Tanti Avenue straight to the beach and into your beach box,” he says. “Both the beach and the main street in Mornington are within a 500-metre stroll of the home which sits to the rear of a large block and has its own title and private entry. It is very well located and will appeal to empty nesters looking to move to Mornington from the city or the suburbs. Or it will appeal to active Baby Boomers who will appreciate all Mornington has to offer.”
