Experience the ultimate in resort-inspired contemporary indulgence paired with lifestyle convenience from this exquisitely appointed family home situated on the fringe of Mt Eliza village and an easy stroll to the beach.

Private and secure beyond tall electronic gated entry on a tranquil 856m2 (approx) allotment with ornamental pear trees, ficus hedges, a mini orchard of fruit nut trees, and a solar-heated swimming pool with mosaic water feature, the four-bedroom residence impresses across two levels with bay glimpses in the distance.

Generously sized open-concept living and dining in the heart is moored by a gourmet’s kitchen with vast stone island, 90cm Ariston freestanding oven, a gas cooktop, Bosch dishwasher and butler’s pantry, while glass doors glide open to an impressive covered barbecue deck stepping around to the swimming pool on the north-facing side.

The sumptuous carpeted formal lounge suits cosy winter nights beside the gas log fireplace in this well-considered and liberally appointed layout, which includes a third lounge on the upper level flanked by a wall of library shelves.

A home office with built-in wraparound desk and shelving is ideal for those who work remotely, while the selection of surrounding public and private schools provide a choice of excellent campuses, from kindergarten to VCE.

So close to restaurants and eateries you can share a bottle of wine over dinner and stroll home by moonlight, this enviable listing includes a master ensuite, family bathroom, third bathroom, a study, ducted heating and cooling, a laundry chute from the upper level, weatherboard shed, basketball half court and a double garage with internal access.
