22 Rutland Avenue

Bringing a fresh architectural narrative to one of Mount Eliza's most desirable beachside neighbourhoods, this brand new four-bedroom residence and pool introduces a striking design direction that beautifully reinterprets the timeless farmhouse character of the Mornington Peninsula hinterland for a sophisticated coastal setting. Created by award-winning Arcadia Built, the home departs from traditional beach-house styling, drawing inspiration from the rich materials, warm tones and enduring charm synonymous with the celebrated rural architecture of Red Hill. The result is a distinctive residence of rare individuality, where farmhouse elegance, subtle French influence and premium craftsmanship combine in a truly standout address within easy walking distance of Mount Eliza Village, cafés and restaurants, supermarkets, sporting clubs, elite schools, the beach and the Ranelagh Club. Rich in texture and warmth, the interiors showcase an exceptional palette of premium finishes, including Calacatta marble, natural stone, European oak flooring, Robert Gordon basins and lighting, and Brodware brushed nickel tapware throughout, while Smart home automation further elevates the home with seamless modern convenience. At the heart of the design, a spectacular open plan living and dining domain is crowned by soaring raked ceilings, centred around a French fireplace and framed by concertina doors that open effortlessly to a covered alfresco deck overlooking the fully tiled inground pool and spa. The gourmet kitchen is a statement in both beauty and function, featuring richly stained cabinetry, an oversized marble island, farmhouse sink, designer marble splashback, integrated Artusi refrigeration, a magnificent Ilve Majestic six-burner cooker and a large walk-in pantry with dishwasher. Thoughtfully curated for family flexibility, the floorplan wraps around the pool with three separate living zones, including a refined parents' retreat, a dedicated children's rumpus wing and the grand central living space designed for entertaining. Accommodation is equally impressive, with the luxurious main suite offering a bespoke dressing room, elegant ensuite with twin vanity, frameless shower and herringbone natural stone flooring, plus its own adjoining retreat opening to the front gardens. In the rear wing, three additional bedrooms surround a stylish family bathroom with freestanding bath, oversized shower and striking herringbone feature walls, alongside a rumpus lounge opening directly to the landscaped rear gardens. Exceptional practicality complements the design, with a superbly integrated mudroom, laundry and the deluxe walk-in pantry, as well as reverse-cycle heating and refrigerated cooling, security surveillance and every modern convenience. A remarkable new home of individuality and style, blending the soul of Red Hill with the prestige of beachside Mount Eliza in one compelling lifestyle address.
