Sorrento

Footsteps to both the ocean and bay, this sundrenched and serene seaside hideaway with detached studio office and self-cleaning inground pool encapsulates the quintessential Sorrento lifestyle for sunseekers and lifestyle lovers on the narrowest strip of the Mornington Peninsula.

Between soaring cathedral ceilings and polished timber flooring, the single-level residence enchants with an alluring open-concept living and dining area backdropped by a new gas log fireplace in a floor-to-ceiling stone surround, while a second lounge down the hall is perfect for the kids or quiet movie nights at home.

The superbly oriented kitchen shares the open flow while flaunting an exquisitely appointed brand-new fit-out with sleek stone-topped benches, dual Bosch ovens, a Bosch stainless-steel dishwasher and an Asko induction cooktop.

French doors swing open to a generously sized poolside alfresco with a built-in main gas-plumbed barbecue and an automated sun awning with a drop-down cafe blind providing a heavenly all-season outdoor entertaining area, while the tiled gas-and-solar-heated swimming pool is complemented by a travertine terrace, perfect for basking in the sunshine between dips.

The detached studio with built-in desk, storage and a split-system air-conditioner provides a serene setting to concentrate away from the hub of the main house and could certainly be converted into an fourth bedroom for those in need of guest accommodation.

The master bedroom is comfortably appointed with a walk-in robe and elegant ensuite with frameless glass shower, while a second bathroom, split-system airconditioning throughout, TVs in both lounge rooms, easy-access attic storage, a carport with storeroom and dual driveways with room to park a boat are among a long list of inclusions.

Set on an elevated 875m2 (approx.) allotment amid fully irrigated, low-maintenance coastal gardens with a series of meandering trails and panoramic views across the coastal surrounds that can never be built out, this seaside sanctuary is just 300m to the Koonya General Store, 400m to Koonya Ocean Beach, 900m to the bay beach and a few minutes’ drive to Blairgowrie Yacht Squadron, Blairgowrie village and Sorrento’s bustling Ocean Beach Road.
