6 Bay Road
Mount Martha

Commanding breathtaking north-facing Bay and city skyline views, this landmark family oasis, designed for epic beachside holidaying and grand scale entertaining, is exquisitely located on more than half an acre (2200sqm approx.) elevated above Mount Martha Village and just steps to the sands of South Beach.

Privately set behind automated gates, at the end of a long, sweeping driveway, the architect designed, custom built '80s modernist home is on the market for the first time. The split-level layout invites relaxed family living and effortless guest-hosting, with vast living spaces and zoned accommodation wings. Outstanding interior features include soaring ceilings lined with mountain ash, banks of highlight windows, a glass-tile feature wall and parquetry flooring. Custom joinery includes a banquette window seat/dining alcove, and a centrally positioned Bay-facing wet-bar overseeing the main open plan living space with wood fireplace, surrounded by glass sliding doors that open out to the expansive, wrap-around alfresco deck with automated awnings. The commercial-sized central kitchen has stone benchtops, Gaggenau appliances and a large walk-in pantry/appliance cupboard. There is another large second living area with built in bookshelves and cabinetry, and this leads to two 'dormitory' size bedrooms with built in robes, and two bathrooms. The eastern wing of the home includes a lovely guest bedroom with views, known as 'the honeymoon suite', as well as the beautiful master suite with 'the best views in the house', private balcony access and ensuite bathroom with spa bath. Includes gas ducted heating, ducted vacuum, ceiling fans, and 2-3 car under-house remote operated garage with powder room, wine cellar, and huge storage/utility room with chute access from the bar. There is also a double carport, and masses of off-street parking.

This much-loved private family oasis enjoyed by three generations, includes a two-storey cubby house in the rear garden, and the delightful grounds are all fully fenced and landscaped with established rose and ornamental gardens. With its exceptional size, scope and position, this property offers a rare opportunity and a world of possibilities to update or reimagine to create a contemporary dream home (STCA). In this exclusive, tightly held, idyllic location, everything is at your doorstep including beautiful beaches, cafes, restaurants, wine bars, Mount Martha House Community Centre, tennis courts, walking tracks, and the Balcombe Estuary reserve.
