In the heart of Mount Martha stands a newly constructed, contemporary masterpiece designed to enchant those with a penchant for the exceptional. This sustainable home is a tribute to natural and ethically sourced materials, offering a multi-generational floor plan rich in scale and thoughtfully designed to enjoy a range of views connecting to the great outdoors.

A seam-clad exterior contrasts elegantly with the whitewashed blackbutt fence, creating an immediate sense of seclusion. Upon entering through the grand glass door, you are welcomed by polished concrete floors and captivated by the lofty ceilings. The ground floor features a practical, yet charming mud room, along with a laundry area adorned in soothing blue tones and complete with a full wall of seamless, soft-touch cabinetry. This design mirrors the abundant integrated storage options available throughout the house. Further exploration reveals two large bedrooms, a lavish secondary master suite, a stylish main bathroom that showcases a scallop bathtub with a designer tile palette, and a generous family room with bifold doors that open to a professionally landscaped, peninsula native, drought-resistant garden.

Ascending the wide hardwood floating timber staircase, your attention is drawn to the exquisite European Oak Chevron parquetry wood flooring and graceful pendant lights that await at the top. While these elements are undeniably impressive, the true focal point of this spacious home is the breathtaking panoramic views of Port Phillip Bay, Melbourne City skyline, and Mount Martha Golf Course. These awe-inspiring vistas are framed by expansive custom floor-to-ceiling windows, softly complemented by flowing linen sheers and can be savoured from every angle of the primary entertaining area. In the heart of this unconfined space, lies an open and inviting kitchen, equipped with high-end SMEG appliances, including a double oven, a wine fridge, a butler's pantry, and luxurious custom Tundra and Carrera stone countertops that elegantly complement the sleek cabinetry and stylish fixtures. This fluidly connects to the covered outdoor alfresco area for year-round pleasure.

Double doors open into the master study, situated adjacent to the powder room that caters to the central hub of the home. Towards the rear, a fifth bedroom provides flexibility for various lifestyles, while a serene parents' retreat beckons. This tranquil space showcases a beautifully crafted walk-in wardrobe and ensuite featuring an Azul Mary stone accent wall in the dual shower. Retreating into the main sleeping area, a cleverly designed built-in day bed offers additional scenic views and creates a serene spot in the home where you can feel like you're floating above the treetops.

High-end finishes include bespoke cabinetry, internal doors, floor-to-ceiling double-glazed windows, block-out blinds, wool carpet, ducted heating and cooling, and an oversized double garage with ample parking spaces including rear access. This home has been designed with careful attention to detail, with a KWD colour consultation ensuring a harmonious blend of colours throughout the space, and the overall design being functional, elegant and sustainable, perched atop a prime location with proximity to Mount Martha Village, Balcombe Grammar and the finest beaches on the Peninsula.
