55-57 Banool Crescent
Mount Eliza

Embracing its elevated Mount Eliza location and oriented to showcase far-reaching views across the Moorooduc Plains to Westernport and French Island, this impressively upscaled, circa-1973 single-level four-bedroom-plus-study home, an exemplar of award-winning Growth House architecture, celebrates the timelessness of modernist design and adaptive, light-filled liveability.

Set well back on the deep 2,123sqm* block, the character-rich bagged brick façade incorporates two symmetrical wings flanking a central alfresco entertaining deck with automated awning, perfect for all-season enjoyment of the majestic outlooks across the terraced lawn, native bird-rich gardens, and bush-fringed coastal landscape. An abundance of glazing, incorporating timber-framed sliding doors and large format windows in the front facing rooms, including the study, kitchen and living areas invite indoor/outdoor connectivity and present rolling panoramic vistas throughout the free-flowing modular layout, floored with blackbutt timber.

The two expansive living and dining areas can be contained by a sliding barn door, while a wood-fire heater adds a cosy ambience to the formal living space. Positioned as the hub of the home, the central kitchen features stone benchtops and is well-equipped with a Siemens induction cooktop, a Smeg oven and an Asko integrated dishwasher. The adjoining, newly reconfigured butler’s pantry/laundry also has stone benchtops, and exterior access to the northerly facing rear deck with automated awning.

Light-filled and spacious, the main bedroom has deck access, a custom-fit walk-in robe and a luxe new ensuite with floor-to-ceiling tiles, underfloor heating, a free-standing bath, walk-in shower, twin vanity and heated towel rails. The main bathroom has been equally and stylishly upgraded and serves the additional bedrooms, two with built-in robes, and the third with panoramic vistas.

Updated for energy efficiencies, the gas-free home has solar rooftop panels and battery 3-phase power, an LG reverse cycle zoned central heating and cooling and a new heat-pump hot water system. Additional features include an oversized double garage with light-filled rear workshop/studio plus two custom constructed storage/utility sheds that could be adapted for home-based business/hobbyist usage.

Opposite the Banool Bushland Reserve, this fabulous family-friendly neighbourhood is surrounded by tranquil natural bushland reserves including the Moorooduc Regional Park and the Moorooduc Quarry Flora and Fauna park. The home is in walking distance to the local shops and café, transport, and close to St. Thomas More Primary School, Mount Eliza Primary and Peninsula Grammar, and just a few minutes’ drive to Mount Eliza village and a choice of Bay beaches.
