10 Balcombe Street
Mornington

Exceptionally located in one of Mornington’s most sought after Beleura Hill streets, just moments to Mills Beach, this three-bedroom single-level weatherboard home is privately set on an expansive 843-square-metre block (approx.) in a tranquil garden setting.

While comfortable for living in now, the property’s blue-chip location lends itself to a dream-home transformation or re-development (STCA), with the potential of bay views from a second level.

One of this tightly held street’s original homes, the character-filled cottage is privately positioned behind automated gates, a long driveway and lushly landscaped gardens. Custom constructed to match the home’s charming style, is a double remote-operated garage and light-filled studio that looks out to the good-sized backyard with lawn area and landscaped borders. An alfresco deck at the front of the home is perfect for enjoying morning coffees and evening sunsets, while an impressive free-standing wood fire heater in the main living area provides cosy winter ambience.

The home’s original solid oak flooring has been recently refreshed, and the installation of plantation shutters, double-glazed windows and LED lighting, enhances the home’s Hamptons-inspired aesthetics. The kitchen is well appointed with a Bellini gas cooktop, oven, Westinghouse dishwasher, walk-in pantry and offers lovely far-reaching treetop views with water glimpses from the kitchen sink. Double doors open to the spacious main bedroom with a wall of built-in robes, and the other two bedrooms both have built-in robes, with usage options for home office or study. The gleaming bathroom has a built-in bath, double vanity, walk-in shower, and opens to the laundry with external access. Additional features include gas ducted heating, split system heating/cooling, ceiling fans and plenty of storage.

In one of Mornington’s premier streets, known for its tranquillity, established trees and native birdlife, it’s close to Beleura Village shops and restaurants, and an easy walk down to Main Street and Mills Beach.
