10 Finlayson Avenue, Mount Martha VIC 3934

The romance and magic of seaside living comes instantly alive with this enchanting coastal home where postcard perfect views stretch across the dazzling waters of the bay to the You Yangs and dramatic silhouette of the city skyline.

With a beautiful blend of influences at play from the timeless traditions of Hamptons' style to the effortless chic of Parisian elegance, the house has been extensively renovated with a sure eye for sophisticated seaside living to create a home that is truly one of a kind.

Whether you're one of the lucky ones in the market for weekend breaks from the bustle of the big smoke or ready to slow down and soak up the spoils of a very special seachange, this serene sanctuary places the very best of beautiful beachside Mt Martha - from iconic South Beach to the cosmopolitan cafes of the village - at your fingertips.

Framed by gorgeous seaside gardens and sweeps of lush green lawn, the home's dramatic exterior gives way to a superbly light filled interior where open plan living and dining is anchored by gleaming porcelain tiles, while a raked timber ceiling adds to the airy, coastal attitude.

To the rear, a good sized sitting room opens to a sheltered rear patio overlooking the garden. This is a versatile space, perfect for curling up quietly with a holiday read or even a playroom for the kids or grandchildren to call their own.

A stunning French provincial inspired kitchen utilizes dramatic dark cabinetry, ornate pulls and a traditional farmhouse sink to inspire your inner domestic goddess, while a larder-style walk in pantry and quality appliances including an integrated dishwasher and induction cooktop add function to this workspace's lovely form.

A striking Black Japan stained staircase transports you to the second level where a stunning chandelier twinkles above gorgeous reclaimed hardwood floors and up to three delightful bedrooms (one currently in service as a dream study complete with doors to a private wisteria-draped balcony) share the gorgeous main bathroom complete with feature freestanding bathtub.

A second shower and toilet has been thoughtfully included in the downstairs laundry/utility room, perfect for sandy feet, togs and towels after yet another unhurried day strolling along the shoreline or swimming at the beach.

On a substantial 1105m² (approx.) corner holding, there is ample space to extend (STCA) and further capitalize on this prized vantage point, while additional appointments include reverse-cycle airconditioning, garden shed, single lock-up garage plus additional carport
