28 Old Mornington Road, Mount Eliza, Vic 3930

Offered to the market for the first time in half a century, this exceptional 2/3rd acre (approx.) holding just doors from the village in Mt Elizas glittering Golden Mile, Tawarri presents the perfect platform for renovation/development and a once in a lifetime opportunity to capitalise on this sacred seaside spot.

With a lifetime of memories seemingly distilled into its very DNA, the substantial 4 bedroom architect-designed 1950s beach house harks back to a gentler era when guests were welcomed in the foyer, escorted to the cocktail lounge for a pre dinner drinks then relaxed in the formal lounge after dining to watch the sun set.

In almost untouched original condition, renovation will reward here with jewels including a unique tri-level design, hardwood floors under carpet, bold Art Deco flourishes and finishes and a feature stone fireplace in the large formal lounge where picture windows frame an elevated outlook to the distant shimmer of the bay.

Connected to the formal dining room by a traditional servery, the large kitchen/meals provides generous space for a modern fitout, while the lower level games room spills out to a garden terrace creating plenty of scope for additional living space or further accommodation.

Overlooking the leafy backyard, the master bedroom has built-in robes and a fabulous retro ensuite, while three more bedrooms share the main bathroom with separate bath and shower.

Set back from the road among rambling seaside garden, extras here include the option to reinstate the homes original inground pool and pool house with his and her change rooms and kitchenette, gas ducted heating, additional shower and toilet to ground floor utility room and a double carport.
