Nestled in the natural landscape of St Andrews Beach on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, this beautifully designed coastal oasis offers a secluded, low maintenance lifestyle moments from the rolling surf of Rye Beach.

The contemporary home sits on a sought-after allotment of 6,558sqm (approx.), an idyllic spot for those dreaming of a sea change.

“A seamless bond between cottage style and modern finishes blends perfectly to make up a unique, one of a kind, stylish coastal abode, perfect for holidays or permanent family living,” agent Geoff Oxford told WILLIAMS MEDIA.  “The location is perfect for ocean lovers, offering the convenience of a morning surf before work, and is just minutes from the Dunes Golf Course to unleash the driver.” 

“Jake Irwin, the owner of Irwin Builders, has been building quality designer homes for 25 years and Sandy Road is one of the most comfortable homes he has ever had the pleasure of completing.”

Irwin Builders transformed the Story Book cottage, which has high open truss ceilings with timber lining throughout, with additions added to create a more modern family home that will serve well for the elements of the years ahead.

“This house will not disappoint because of the great finish to detail,” Jake Irwin told WILLIAMS MEDIA. “The house is constructed to have little or no maintenance on the outside, using robust materials that withstand the four seasons backing onto Bass Strait.” 

Walls were plied, insulated then cladded for a more passive energy efficient house, cooler in summer and warmer in winter, and fitted with hydronic heating, double glazed commercial aluminium windows, and four split systems.

Featuring natural materials, raw modern cladding, external decking and landscaping make the home at peace with its surrounds. 

The use of timber draws the eye both inside and outside starting from the veneered cabinetry, designer wardrobes, cladded ceilings, European-oak flooring, Iron Bark weatherboards and extensive decking. Soaring cathedral ceilings, panelled feature walls, modern statement lighting all accentuate the casual seaside vibe.

Indoor outdoor elements deliver premium comfort alongside excellent outdoor entertainment, including extensive decking, in-ground, solar heated, salt-chlorinated pool, ensuited pool house and covered alfresco zone.

An open-plan layout surrounded by native gardens delivers charming family flexibility for either a permanent lifestyle or holiday escape, accommodating four bedrooms plus an upstairs studio complete with sink.

Floating vanities, walk-in showers and stone benchtops inject an impressive contemporary feel and modern luxuries like hydronic heating, ceiling fans, slow combustion fire place, split system air conditioning and double glazed windows provides maximum interior contentment.

Pets have ample room to roam on the grassed areas and kids will thoroughly appreciate their very own freestanding retreat, built to match the pool house and the house with a complete fitout ready to house any kid’s needs. Enjoy impromptu gatherings beside the toasty fire-pit, off-street visitor parking is abundant and internal access from the remote garaging is an extra bonus.

Located opposite popular Rye Surf Beach and bordering the Dunes Golf Course, St Andrews Brewery is only moments away, along with the Peninsula Hot Springs and Dundas Street, which travels all the way to the safe bay beach.
