97 Old Mornington Road

A delightfully private and verdant oasis in Mt Eliza's famed Golden Mile, cares evaporate and relaxation begins the moment you enter through remote gates of this superb 1800sqm property. Surrounded by Manchurian pear and other shade trees with semi-formal gardens and lush lawns, this is an impeccable and timeless example of post-war bungalow architecture featuring large windows to capture verdant vistas and large living spaces designed for entertaining. Vine-covered pergolas and decking that steps down to the pool invite scenes of long Sunday lunches with family and friends in the cool of the shade and late afternoon walks down Jacksons Rd to the beach to watch the sun sink into the sea. A vast open plan main living and dining area with original hardwood floors is supported by a practical kitchen featuring stone bench tops and Smeg cooking appliances. A second living area also opens to the rear deck and pool area and sits beside a large study or retreat lounge and the generous main bedroom where parents are treated to a walk-in robe and contemporary ensuite featuring a bath and walk-in shower. Three other bedrooms share the main bathroom in a separate wing off the entry. Just steps from Toorak College and within strolling distance of the village, the prime Old Mornington Rd address also includes ducted heating and evaporative cooling, a powder room, handy box room, large water tanks for the garden, rooftop solar panels and a remote double garage.
