43 Menzies Close, Frankston South, Vic 3199

Proudly rising from its predominant Oliver's Hill position to capture glistening 180deg views of Port Phillip Bay crowned by the twinkle of evening lights from Frankston through to Geelong, this architecturally-designed, rare flat block home delivers a rare opportunity to occupy one of the areas most cherished addresses.

Closely held in the same family since the 1960's, this history-rich 5-bedroom 3-bathroom residence invites show-stopping aspects into every major room, capitalising on its elevation with surrounding views doubling as ever-changing artwork. Keeping its most alluring features from street view, the home's clever design offers ground-floor entertaining across a central lounge, separate rumpus room (gas log fireplace), open meals and kitchen (walk-in pantry) and multiple outdoor zones.

Embellished with beautiful design elements reflective of its era, the home keeps the family connected across first-floor accommodation, with three junior bedrooms, zoned family bathroom with shower room, purpose-built home office with ample storage, and master suite (walk-in robe and ensuite) where spectacular views deliver a welcomed wake-up.

The fifth bedroom holds a ground-floor position with direct terrace access, walk-in robe and ensuite access to a private main bathroom, and a separate sitting room/library, inspiring intergenerational living for adult children or elderly parents.

Set amongst an easily maintained garden wonderland, where both front and rear zones present equally appealing entertaining spaces, the home boasts a north-west balcony overlooking unbuildable council land, Foxtel cable to 5 rooms, split heating/cooling systems, 5kW solar system, reflective coatings on all glazing, double garage with internal access, and purpose-built workshop and outdoor storage shed. With whales, dolphins, cruise ships and yachts all within view, this FHSZ address welcomes proximity to Sweetwater Creek Nature Reserve, Frankston Boat Ramp and Foreshore, Kinetic Stadium and Bayside Shopping Centre.
