50 Bellingham Road, Arthurs Seat VIC 3936

Offered for the first time in its 46 year history, this grand owner-built residence showcases the definitive majesty of Arthurs Seat living in a breathtaking package on approximately 8.8 acres. Reclaimed bricks from The Age newspaper's Spencer Street building create a compelling backdrop to its unique design, culminating in an enchanting life within a relaxed country setting.

Once the pinnacle of architectural design and now an enduring aesthetic of free-flowing living, its distinguished layout introduces an array of living areas across a dual-level arrangement, including a cosy formal lounge with Canadian Oregon beam ceilings and an open fireplace. A central kitchen curated with Tasmanian Blackwood and Queensland Myrtle surrounds a suite of quality appliances warmed by a wood flue heater, utilising the home's double-brick construction to regulate temperatures year-round.

Four bedrooms with two home offices are headlined by a main bedroom with a full ensuite and open robe, enjoying alfresco access to the full-width verandah and inground pool pavilion. Established gardens precede an outlook over the estate's fully fenced paddock and the origins of Splitters Creek, a natural subsidiary that runs through the rear of the property.

Just one hour from Melbourne, it features a huge 12.5 x 7.5m (approx.) workshop/garage with loft storage and a mechanics pit, 2x 45,000L underground water tanks, electric slab heating, 2 x solar power systems, and provisions for a 9sqm (approx.) underground cellar. Relish its traditional nobility or modernise to bring a revered classic into a new era, maximising its liveability amongst the world-famous Mornington Peninsula hinterland.
