Four of our favourite homes in Melbourne and surrounds right now
staff reporter
It’s a joy to entertain at home and have the space to easily host a dinner party or backyard barbecue. Bonus points if visitors can also take the opportunity to go swimming.
They may be spread across locations from Melbourne’s north to the Mornington Peninsula, but these four stylish homes would be ideal for entertaining guests or simply entertaining alone.
46-48 Wells Road, Beaumaris VIC
Living in this resort-style Beaumaris home with a stunning outdoor space including a swimming pool, spa and large terrace, every day can feel like a holiday. The five-bedroom residence is crowned with a rooftop terrace with built-in seating where you can admire the view amidst the warmth of a gas fireplace. There’s a study nook with an arched window if the owner needs to put holiday excitement aside long enough to work from home.
4/22A Prout Webb Road, Shoreham VIC
Known as ‘Banksia House’, this four-bedroom peninsula property forms an L-shaped shape around a magnesium pool and terrace, all set on a 1096 square meter block. One wing contains the kitchen, dining and living area, while the other wing contains bedrooms and another living area. Look out through tall windows at native plants, mature trees and a tidy lawn.
130 McArthurs Road, South Morang VIC
With a price tag of $5.9 million to $6.49 million, it’s clear that this South Morang mansion is something special. Situated on 3.56 hectares, the property has views of rolling hills and enough space for a five-car garage. There is a pool, sauna, outdoor entertainment terrace with built-in barbecue, and pool house. But one of the biggest drawbacks may be the chance to get away from it all.
175 Dendy Street, Brighton East VIC
This post-war home has been modernly refurbished to suit contemporary family living, with four bedrooms, four bathrooms and an open-plan living and dining area. Special touches include American hardwood flooring and glass chandeliers. The swimming pool has a pool house, barbecue and steam room.
