Wide verandas, graceful 1920s architecture and a superb three-quarter acre allotment with tall shade trees and frontage to two streets - this sprawling plantation-style bungalow is an exclusive lifestyle opportunity in a coveted area of Frankston South.
Featuring views of Western Port Bay across the Moorooduc Plains, the five-bedroom residence was built in 1926 and successfully merges old and new with three living areas, a huge master bedroom with a sensational ensuite that includes an open fireplace and a free-standing bath and an in-ground pool and sun-drenched terrace for outdoor entertaining.
The original owners built the home after retiring as managers of tea and rubber plantations in Sri Lanka and the 40-plus square residence reflects the colonial bungalow architecture of the period.
A stately formal lounge and dining room has dark-stained wainscot paneling, an open fireplace and ornate ceilings, while a huge family room has a drop-down screen and TV projector as well as French doors onto the pool.
There is also a smaller living area beside the bedroom wing, plus a separate workman's cottage ideal as a home office.
