10 Merrigal Court, Frankston South VIC 3199

#PictureThis: A breathtaking builder's own home, exquisitely enhanced by its current custodians, breathing in the most magnificent scenes over the beginnings of Sweetwater Creek. Cascading from the supreme quality of its architectural integrity into layered poolside gardens sculpted over creekside greenery, this 4-bedroom + full studio apartment home represents a masterclass in considered design and enduring quality that you'll never want to leave.

#WhatYoullLove: Absolutely everything. From its deep connection to its surrounding environment, enhanced with its sequence of tiered gardens and poolside prowess, to the high-grade enhancements under the breathtaking timbers of the interior's cathedral ceilings, there's no angle that hasn't been regarded. A life of easy living starts with adaptable formal and casual lounges with individual fireside warmth, served by a beautifully modelled Neff and Asko stone kitchen with scullery, before sweeping outdoors to a balcony deck, a poolside terrace, and gorgeous views over the creeklands.

The private lower level forms a dedicated teen or in-law domain with an open lounge, dining space and fully-fledged kitchen, crowned by a separate bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and under-house storage access. Within the main home, the master boasts alfresco deck access, a fitted dressing room and a gorgeous ensuite, with three additional bedrooms surrounding a matching central bathroom that reinforces the home's constant dialogue with quality.

Built to last by its original owner-builder and empathetically enhanced since, its handcrafted detailing continues to resonate to this day, complete with a 9kw solar array, ducted heating, evaporative cooling, electric wall heating, a home office, and a large double garage.

#WhereYoullLive: In the bowl of one of Frankston South's most sought-after enclaves, enjoying a sense of privacy rarely found so close to Mount Eliza Village, #NormanAve cafés, the zoned Derinya Primary and Frankston High schools, and Sweetwater Creek River parklands.
