Understated, nostalgic and beautifully resolved, 8 Sheoak Road stands as one of the Mornington Peninsula's most remarkable Modernist homes.
Designed by Fasham Johnson Architects, this timeless residence achieves a rare sense of cohesion between architecture and garden, a seamless interplay of light, structure and nature.
Set on over half an acre within the tightly held Peninsula Gateway Estate, the home has been thoughtfully orientated to capture natural light, maximise privacy, and enhance its connection to the lush, layered gardens that surround it.
Inside, the main living and dining space immediately establishes the home's tone, bright and inviting, anchored by soaring ceilings and a log fireplace that radiates warmth and calm. Expansive panes of glass frame tranquil vistas of the pool and gardens beyond, creating a continuous dialogue between inside and out.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen forms a natural gathering place, linking seamlessly to both the dining area and a sunlit northern courtyard, comprising wall oven, gas cook-top, an abundance of cupboard space and underfloor heating which flows throughout the home. From here, the design flows effortlessly to the alfresco terraces and salt chlorinated pool, a private entertaining domain enveloped by sculpted greenery and wisteria-draped pergolas.
Every outdoor space has been deeply considered, evolving beautifully with the seasons through fruiting trees, soft plantings, and natural shade. Among the garden's delights are Morepark apricots, White mulberry, Cherry, Santa Rosa and Satsuma plums, Beurre Bosc pear, Blueberries, Passionfruit, and a variety of herbs nestled beneath the canopy. Additional features include 5KW solar panels, enhancing energy efficiency and sustainability throughout the home.
The master suite comprises an ensuite and walk-in robe and enjoys complete privacy, opening to a walled courtyard with curved brick detailing and sweeping garden views. A parents' retreat flows effortlessly from this serene domain, providing a quiet space for work or relaxation. The ensuite blends contemporary finishes with subtle nods to the home's original character. Two additional bedrooms with built-in robes and a beautifully updated bathroom occupy a separate wing, offering ideal separation for family or guests.
Celebrating architectural integrity, natural light, and an enduring connection to landscape, this is a home that transcends trends, a rare Modernist sanctuary within the Peninsula Gateway Estate.
Positioned with easy access to Peninsula Link for lifestyle convenience, the home is just 2km from Mt Erin High School, 2.3km from Frankston Golf Club, and 2.7km from Baxter Shopping Centre and a short drive to Woodleigh School, placing everyday amenities, leisure, and connection all within effortless reach.
