1078 Nepean Highway
Mornington

Distinguished by its outstanding 10-star energy rating, which translates to low or no power bills, this meticulously renovated and extended builder’s-own 4-5 bedroom-plus-study-and-studio Mornington family home celebrates modern coastal/industrial aesthetics and an expansive, adaptable floorplan offering space and flexibility for multi-generational living or home-based business pursuits.

Gracing a leafy corner block, buffered from the highway by parkland and gum trees, the single-level rendered brick and Axon-clad home is privately set behind a high fence with Wi-Fi intercom entry. Whisper quiet inside due to double-glazed windows and doors, and hybrid timber flooring, additional energy efficiencies include draught sealing, high-performance extractor fans, 11-kilowatt solar rooftop panels and all-electric heating/cooling, heat pump hotwater and appliances.

Designer touches, including a domed copper pendant that defines the dining space in the main open-plan living area, are evident throughout the inspired fully renovated and extended home. The sleek, central stone kitchen is equipped with a suite of Bosch appliances including convection, micro/combi, coffee maker and dishwasher while the adjoining butler’s pantry/laundry facilitates effortless entertaining with an additional sink, dishwasher and prepping space. The light-filled main bedroom is zoned at the front of the home and has a walk-through robe and luxe ensuite with walk-in frameless shower and twin stone vanity. Two split systems provide efficient climate control throughout, while Nobo panel heaters in the bedrooms keep things cosy in cooler months.

There is a zoned secondary living area/sunroom with kitchenette and a second laundry, perfect for multi-generational family living and entertaining, or for running a home-based business, and the amenities are further enhanced with the detached studio, with a split-system and storage cupboards, that could be ideal for teenager or grandparent accommodation. There is also an outdoor hot/cold shower deck with a washbasin that could easily be converted to an additional bathroom to serve the studio

Additional features include a secure double carport with an automated door, low-maintenance wrap-around gardens with outdoor lighting, a raised vegetable garden, a Velux skylight, multiple TV points, high-end tapware, and quality double roller block-out and sheer blinds. The home’s outstanding energy rating means mortgagees may be eligible for reduced rates (subject to bank/lender conditions).

This family-friendly neighbourhood is an easy walk to a choice of local schools including Mornington Secondary College, Padua College, St. Macartans Primary and Mornington Park Primary. It is also close to local shops and cafes, Mornington Golf Club and Mills Beach.
