98 Glenisla Drive, Mount Martha VIC 3934

The origins of this newly constructed house with its soaring raked ceilings, exposed ironbark trusses, golden timber cladding and birch ply with white interior are unmistakably Scandinavian.

Scandi house has sweeping bay and city views, beautifully landscaped native gardens, a tiled salt-chlorinated pool and is within a short stroll to local schools, South Beach and The Village shops, just off Dominion Road.

Thoughtfully designed and built, with only your furniture needed, the architecture is just beautiful and stands out from the others.

There are 4 bedrooms on ground floor (with an optional fifth or study), the Master Retreat being the feature with its views to the bay, room for a lounge, its own external deck access, large WIR and Ensuite with a double shower and terrazzo tiling.

On this level there is also a large Living area (with a bar area and further open study), with views one way to a glazed Japanese courtyard and other to the pool, bay and large deck, perfect for entertaining at any time.

All rooms on this level overlook beautiful native landscaped gardens.

Upstairs, high raked ceilings soar over the Scandi kitchen with Japanese mosaic tiles, birch ply timber cladding, a large ply scullery and Bosch appliances. The large open living and dining area has a freestanding gas fireplace, natural sisal carpets and oak timber floors. Here you can either snuggle up in front of the fire or serenely sit on the external deck and drink in the sweeping views of the city, South Beach and the Balcombe Estuary.

With double-glazed windows, ducted heating and A/C and a 6-star energy rating this is a home to be lived in and loved through all the seasons.

This home is far more impressive in the flesh than via the lens a camera – inspection highly recommended and will not disappoint.
