12 Herbert Street, Mornington VIC 3931

With uninterrupted views that sweep across Port Phillip Bay and a position only moments from Mills Beach, this solid brick c1960s residence on 789sqm (approx) carries the relaxed character of era’s past, while opening the door to a wealth of possibilities. Set over two fully self-contained levels, it offers immediate enjoyment for extended families or guests, while also lending itself to renovation, reinvention, or the creation of a substantial new family home (STCA).

Natural light from its north-west orientation enhances privacy and underscores the outlook, allowing both levels to feel distinct yet wonderfully connected to the bay. The lower level features a generous open-plan living and dining area with timber floors, supported by a well-presented kitchen with European appliances and Fisher & Paykel dishdrawer, a spacious bedroom, and a luxe, contemporary bathroom. Access to the private, manicured front gardens and a double remote garage with internal entry extends its appeal, whilst upstairs, the bay provides a constant backdrop, spilling from the open-plan living and dining space to a wide balcony for unparalleled entertaining. A large-scale renovated kitchen with a walk-in pantry and adjoining laundry supports avid hosts, whilst accommodation comprises a study or optional bedroom, two additional bedrooms with robes, including the main oriented to the water, and a pristine Art Deco bathroom.

At the rear, a garden studio with an en-suite introduces further independence, ideal for guests, a home office, or a wellness retreat with its own entry. Within walking distance to Main Street’s dining and shopping, excellent schools, transport and the foreshore, it’s an elite offering amongst the area’s finest homes, with scope for a pool, abundant gated parking, split-system air conditioning throughout and rain collection tanks.
