21 Charles Street, Mount Eliza, Mornington Peninsula

A picture of timeless contemporary style privileged Golden Mile living awaits at this refined family resort on more than half an acre offering an impressive selection of living spaces, a suite of high-end finishes and an entertainer's agenda.

Set privately behind a tall front fence and remote gates, a grand portico entry and coined brickwork make an immediate statement while five large bedrooms and five bathrooms provide ample family accommodation and a sparkling inground pool, an outdoor chessboard and flood-lit tennis court take care of the fun.

Flanking the entry are formal lounge and dining rooms, while gleaming oak floors extend through the superb kitchen and meals area to a large sunken family room and separate games room and bar with a series of French doors opening to the travertine paved pool terrace.

A massive stone island bench dominates the traditionally themed kitchen boasting a 1200mm Italian cooking range with double ovens and pot filler tap above, a stainless-steel dishwasher and farmhouse double sink with views out to the alfresco entertaining area and garden gazebo.

The main bedroom impresses with a towering arched window, a walk-in robe behind mirrored sliding doors and large ensuite with walk-in shower, while three other bedrooms have their own ensuites and a family bathroom offers a free-standing bath, frameless shower and toilet.

A masterful amalgam of classic and contemporary, this is a home that delights at every turn, bathed in natural light and featuring high ceilings and tall windows.

Two built-in wood heaters and ducted reverse-cycle heating and air-conditioning also mean you can always find the right temperature and ambience for lavish family living and entertaining.

Just a leisurely stroll to Canadian Bay beach and a toss of a school bag to prestigious Toorak College, other features include a remote double garage with ample storage space and extra off-street parking, landscaped gardens, ducted vacuuming, and a greenhouse.
