1 Ellesmere Avenue, Mount Martha, Vic 3934

By far one of the most captivating historical homes in idyllic Mount Martha is this four-bedroom plus study treasure built over two character-filled levels and designed by noted architect Robert Hamilton of Toorak Village acclaim.
In nearby Lempriere exclusivity the property is set on a significant 893 m2 allotment (approx.) in the whisper-quiet peace and serenity of this long-admired beachside locale.
Ground level accommodates a timber staircase entry, lounge with formal dining area, large study/sitting room, country kitchen-to-dining and handy concealed laundry.
Upstairs continues the story-book experience adding old-world bedrooms, an updated bathroom and bay glimpses through the tree-tops.
The cottage gardens are awash with greenery featuring mature shrubs and trees, veggie garden provisions, a storage shed and wrap-around entertaining deck to soak up the ambience.
A semi-circular driveway and double-gated entries add easy dual access and a single carport offers convenient covered parking.
The six-burner chef's oven, dishwasher and gas-ducted-heating provide modern comfort and further period features include colonial windows, beamed ceilings, dado panelling, French doors, understairs storage and a romantic open-fire.
Enriched with timeless appeal this gracious home would benefit from a sympathetic restoration or happily live-in and adore the rambling appeal.
Relatively unspoilt this home gives a special opportunity to enjoy a taste of yesteryear and participate in the connections of the past into the future only 700 metres (approx.) from the beach and village shops.
