18 Marine Drive, Torquay VIC 3228

Every now and then you visit a property that immediately stops you in your tracks. Designed and built by Ron Dennehy, this spectacular property achieves this affect. A celebration of natural beauty and contemporary architecture, the house showcases the best in exemplary design and life's comforts from wide open spaces to an in-ground swimming pool.

Spread across two levels, the house has been organised into a series of interconnected but distinct spaces that take you on a wonderful journey. The combination of polished timber floors and understated forms imbue the house with a sense of elegance and refinement. A dramatic entrance with view to the garden and pool sets the tone for the second living space, three generous bedrooms, family bathroom and dedicated laundry.

Upstairs the house is full of even more 'wow factors' including bifold doors to optional decks for entertaining in private, whilst enjoying panoramic ocean views from all aspects from the open plan living, dining and kitchen.

The master bedroom is a new level of luxury. Spacious and opulent, the room has a large en suite and a double-sided walk-in wardrobes. Conveniently also on this level is a powder room, and home office built in study.

The amenity here, as in the rest of the house, is vast and impressive. On the ground floor is a large tiled pool with optional solar panel heating, two gas fireplaces, reverse cooling, double glazing, European bath and tapware and LED lighting.

A timeless property that will age and develop beautifully over time, this house sets a new bar in luxurious residential design.
