Some homes feel familiar the moment you arrive, as if you’ve been here before, a distant memory of long-ago summer holidays or a childhood dream of living by the seaside.
Wrapped in soft grey weatherboard and set beneath a sprawling canopy tree, 683 Nepean Highway Frankston South has a gentle, unhurried character that is increasingly rare, a testament to the current owners of over 30yrs who have managed to keep the homes Heritage Charm without compromising on modern lifestyle luxuries.
Beyond the gate:
Privately set on 1169m² of established grounds behind Evergreen hedging that shields the home from the road.
A sliding gate gently opens to reveal a line of Pear Trees that look magnificent this time of year.
Low-maintenance landscaping means the kids and the family dog have space to play, while your weekends are spent lounging by the pool – not tending the garden!
- An exposed aggregate drive curves past a tiered fountain and lawns crossed by oversized stepping stones which is framed by silver borders and weeping standards. The highway fades away, and what remains is birdsong and the rustle of the old trees
- At the side of the driveway raised vegetable beds invite winter evenings under the stars around the fire pit and weekend harvests for the kitchen
- The detached double garage, finished to match the home, includes a separate home office and workshop. It suits a consultancy, a design studio, or the creative pursuit you’ve been putting off for years
Behind the home, the grounds open into a series of outdoor spaces, there's always room for large family dinners or an easy Sunday BBQ, whatever the season.
- A white pergola strung with festoon lights shelters the long dining deck, where lunches drift into dinners and nobody watches the clock
- A lounge deck rests beneath a cantilevered umbrella beside a lion-head wall fountain, with tall bamboo creating a private haven
- The lawn rolls out from both decks, big enough for the kids to kick the ball
- Frameless glass pool fencing leads to a sparkling mineral salt pool, surrounded by travertine tiles. Cool down on hot summer days, splash with the family, or lounge poolside while the kids swim all day – it's like being on holiday in a luxury resort, without ever leaving home
- After a morning at the beach, rinse off under the outdoor shower and jump straight into your own private pool
Climb the steps to the front porch at the end of the day, and the bay reveals itself in a glimpse between the trees, catching the last gold of the sunset. It is the perfect spot for a glass of wine, a slow conversation, or simply sitting still for a while.
A floorplan that grows with your family
Designed for the way families really live, the flexible layout suits multi-generational living or hosting guests, with an upstairs retreat and a three-bedroom wing downstairs.
Step through the wraparound sunroom into a home full of heritage detail:
- The formal lounge centres around an open fireplace, made for winter evenings with a good book. There are panelled walls, plate rails, original timber French doors and honey-toned Baltic floorboards
- The dining room flows into an open plan kitchen. It has an island induction cooktop with integrated downdraft, dual wall ovens, sleek handleless cabinetry and a full-width window splashback framing the garden
- A second, relaxed living room sits a few steps up from the kitchen, it's the perfect spot for movie nights. Wide sliding doors open straight onto the deck and pool lounge, entertaining will be a breeze
- Two living zones mean the grown-ups can enjoy a quiet glass by the fire while the little ones spread out
- Three generous ground-floor bedrooms, all with built-in robes, sit alongside a luxe family bathroom featuring a freestanding bath, herringbone marble feature wall and walk-in shower
- Upstairs is yours alone. The parents' retreat holds the main bedroom, a beautifully finished ensuite with fluted timber vanity and rain shower, built-in robes, and a quiet sitting and study nook. It's a private sanctuary well away from the bustle below
