7/2 Bentons Road

Enviably positioned opposite Fossil Beach and offering outstanding water views from its upper-level balcony and master suite, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom Mount Martha residence celebrates the Peninsula's relaxed coastal lifestyle with a light-filled layout custom designed to enjoy relaxed indoor and outdoor living and entertaining. Privately set towards the rear of the boutique complex, and one of just seven coveted Esplanade-facing double-storey townhouses, a towering architectural void in the entry foyer introduces the home's soaring dimensions, flooded with an abundance of natural light. Durable timber-look vinyl plank flooring enhances the home's coastal style in the open plan living and dining area, with glass sliding door access to an undercover alfresco terrace that extends to the lushly lawned front garden which has a private access gate to the Esplanade. The central kitchen is well equipped with a Chef oven, gas cook top and a Dishlex dishwasher, and features a walk-in pantry. Offering great family functionality, the double remote-operated garage has an internal access door to a secondary entry hallway with laundry/utility room and a powder room. Upstairs is a second living area/retreat, two generously sized bedrooms with built-in robes, and the main bathroom, while the front-facing master suite, with walk-in robe and shower ensuite, is positioned for stunning water and coastal views, and has access to a private west-facing balcony, perfect for enjoying spectacular sunsets and sea-breezes. There is also a rear alfresco courtyard, which offers a shady respite from the summer sun, while the west-facing windows in the main living area put on a nightly display of glowing sunsets through the ti-trees opposite. Additional features include ducted central heating and split system cooling. With the Dava Hotel next door, and a short walk to Dreamer Café and Dava Drive eateries, the property is in a prized beachside lifestyle neighbourhood, in strolling distance to Bentons Square, and central to both Main Street Mornington and Mount Martha Village.
