4 Mcauliffe Close, Mount Eliza, Vic 3930

Ushered in serenity at the end of an exclusive cul-de-sac directly abutting the valley of Gunyong Creek, this near-new beachside home unites generous dimensions with a suite of premium finishes to showcase the most exquisite Hamptons-inspired package where the country meets the coast.

As though lifted from the spread of a luxury living magazine, the four-bedroom abode is defined by lofty 3-metre ceilings, solid blackbutt timber flooring, Enchanted White stone benchtops and a breathtaking outlook reminiscent of the English countryside with idyllic views across the undulating pastures of former Ansett Estate.

Sundrenched open living and dining in the heart flows out through triple sets of glass doors to a wraparound alfresco deck, which provides a host of heavenly settings to relax and dine outdoors. A garden terrace offers the ideal setting for dusk drinks before a firepit, while the plush lawn will accommodate a playground for the kids (or even a swimming pool).

Overflowing with high-end elegance, the culinary kitchen boasts a stone breakfast island, a Falcon 100cm Professional FX freestanding dual oven with gas cooktop, an integrated Miele fridge/freezer, integrated Bosch dishwasher, shaker cabinetry with matte-black hardware and a butler's pantry to make meal prep a delight, from busy weeknights to laidback weekends with friends.

Through French doors a second lounge invites quiet movie nights and curling up with a good book, while two-way access cleverly unites with the children's wing, which flaunts three spacious bedrooms and a full family bathroom with tub and rainshower.

Parents are pampered in the generously sized master bedroom with a fully fitted dressing room, chic ensuite with stone-topped vanity and a walk-in rainshower, a split-system and plantation shutters, while a dedicated home office with dual desk and library shelving, a powder room, zoned ducted heating and additional split-systems in both lounge rooms are among a list of inclusions.

Just a stone's throw to the beach, village and a choice of excellent schools, this family dream home comes with barbecue gas plumbing on the deck, sublevel storage, a hideaway water tank, a double garage with built-in storage and internal access and side gate access to park a boat or caravan.
