51 Balcombe Drive, Mount Martha, Vic 3934

Wonderfully layered for family life on just under a third of an acre (approx), this north-facing home reveals its charm through a considered blend of generous living domains, poolside entertaining, and family-focused inclusions that have equally contributed to a lifestyle lovingly enjoyed by its owners for the past 25 years.

A recessed entry marks the sense of arrival, lining the pathway toward the open-plan main living domain, where three distinct living zones branch off to reveal the home’s impressive single-level scale. Central to it all, the kitchen features stainless steel appliances and a walk-in pantry, unfolding toward an entertaining deck set against the backdrop of a grapevine-draped pergola and pool, easily accommodating relaxed daily living and momentous celebrations.

Deliberately placed at the front for privacy and framed by garden outlooks through street-facing windows, the primary retreat features dual walk-in robes, a twin-vanity ensuite and its own sitting area, an indulgent space you naturally gravitate to as the day winds down. Three additional bedrooms, each with built-in robes, are zoned together at the rear, accompanied by a central bathroom and separate WC.

Extending the home’s offering, a fully self-contained studio includes its own ensuite, robe, kitchenette, and split system, enjoying a tranquil outlook across the pool and flat lawn. Ideal for guests, teenagers or extended family, it also presents business or Airbnb potential with side pedestrian access and scope to install a wider gate for independent entry or storage of a boat or caravan. Appointed with ducted heating, split system cooling, a home office, ceiling fans, a garden shed and double garage, the home also features generous off-street parking afforded by its exceptionally wide frontage.

Completely uninterrupted with a level of privacy and openness rarely found in suburban streetscapes, yet minutes away from Bentons Square, Benton Junior College, freeway links, local beaches, and the vibrant cafés of Main Street Mornington, it’s all too easy to head out, but the pull to return home to your own slice of resort-style paradise is even stronger.
