Portsea Shingle House

Welcome to our architecturally designed home, wrapped in Alaskan white cedar shingles and nestled between majestic Moonah trees. Their sculpted trunks and generous canopies provide a unique and tranquil setting, shading the home and garden while allowing dappled sunlight to create a natural tapestry of light and shadow.

Inside, the home spans three levels, featuring five beautifully appointed bedrooms—including a luxurious master suite with its own ensuite bathroom. In total, three modern bathrooms ensure a seamless living experience. You'll also find a spacious office area, perfect for quiet reflection or catching up on work, all set against a backdrop of curated modern artwork.

The home offers two separate living areas, each equipped with a TV, ensuring diverse options for relaxation. A large rumpus room comes complete with a table tennis table, providing a dedicated play area for kids and those young at heart.

Step outside to fully embrace the essence of indoor-outdoor living. Take your pick from one of three sizable decks for leisurely moments, or experience the bliss of our elevated, heated swimming pool, all set amidst the Moonah trees. An outdoor shower is available for a refreshing rinse, completing your pool or beach experience.

The meticulously landscaped garden beckons, featuring a welcoming firepit perfect for intimate evening gatherings. For those looking to explore, Shelley Beach and the charming local cafes of Portsea and Sorrento are just a short stroll away.

Located at the end of a peaceful dead-end street and enveloped by the calming aura of Moonah trees, this holiday home is a sanctuary of luxury and tranquillity. Come, stay, and immerse yourself in an environment where nature and architectural beauty work together.
