55 Herbert Street

Balanced on the tranquil banks of Tanti Creek, this exceptionally private residence crowns the ridgeline with a magnificent display of master craftsmanship and mature landscape design. Amongst a garden oasis unlike any other, the expansive home presents an unrivalled family lifestyle with abundant space for children (and pets) to explore and parents to retreat to. Upon entry at the rear of a long driveway, the home's oversized proportions set the tone with soaring ceiling heights, timber flooring and a glimpse of the mesmerising poolside alfresco. Embracing outdoor entertainment as the heart of the home, interior spaces, appointed with the finest finishes, offer seamless meal preparation with concrete benchtops, dual Miele ovens/gas stovetop and a true butler's pantry. Contrast charcoal walls and a gas log fire define the superb living space, with full-height window walls blurring the line between indoor and outdoor dining. Anchored by the deep turquoise tones of the concrete pool/spa, the outdoor decking adjoins the master bedroom designed for parents to retreat amongst the treetops. Proportioned for genuine rest and relaxation, the stunning master suite encompasses a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite bathroom complete with a soaking tub, floating vanity and oversized shower. Three additional bedrooms with built-in robes complete the family accommodation, along with a central bathroom echoing natural textures from the broader palette of the home. Beneath the main home, polished concrete floors underpin the guest accommodation, enhanced by a second living space. Designed to maintain a luscious outlook across the rear yard, this downstairs haven comprises a spa-like ensuite bathroom and steam sauna. A dedicated home office completes the floor plan, further adding to the property's immense family appeal. Other outstanding features are CBUS automation throughout including all lighting, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) integration, security system, and electric blinds. Providing direct access into the home is the multipurpose 95sqm garage, whilst tiered landscaping adjoins the irrigated rear yard and there is additional workshop space beneath. Moments from the sparkling waters of Mills Beach and Main Street's boutique retail offerings and lifestyle complements, this leafy locale provides a quintessential slice of Mornington Peninsula paradise.
