Frankston South

In a prized, elevated pocket of Frankston South with vistas across the Northern Peninsula to the waters of Western Port Bay, this meticulously maintained five-bedroom family home features an oasis-like alfresco area with a heated swimming pool and landscaped gardens.

On the market for the first time in more than four decades, the 1970s architect-designed single-level solid brick home's intuitive layout and quality appointments have graciously stood the test of time. Opening into an entry foyer, a central hallway leads to five good-sized bedrooms all with built-in robes, while the spacious master suite, with floor-to-ceiling windows and glorious front garden outlooks, has a walk-in robe and an ensuite with shower. The main bathroom features charming original tiling, a built-in tub, and shower. The home's back door opens to a mud-room space with plenty of storage cupboards, and a full-size laundry/utility room. There are both formal and informal living and dining areas, with the casual open-plan family zone facing the delightful pool and rear gardens. The central gourmet kitchen is fitted with a Miele double oven and ceramic cooktop, and an Asko dishwasher.

Additional features include gas ducted heating, two Daikin split systems, and a ducted vacuum system. Outside are glorious expanses of lawn, irrigated garden beds, and a double lock-up garage. Draped with ornamental vines, the alfresco area pergola overlooks the family-sized built-in, solar heated, and salt chlorinated swimming pool.

This fabulous family-friendly neighbourhood is in the Derinya Primary Schools Zone, and just a few minutes' walk to the bus stop for leading local secondary schools including Peninsula Grammar and Frankston High. The village-like 'Mount Eliza Top Shops' are also just a short walk away, with a cafe,
