Set behind wrought-iron gates on a lush garden allotment and just a stone’s throw from the walking trails of Sweetwater Creek meandering down to Frankston Beach 600m away, you’ll be intoxicated by the romance of this captivating three-bedroom haven with a sparkling inground pool and artist’s studio.

Beautifully maintained and updated throughout the years while retaining its classic 1960s charm, this fabulous location in the highly sought-after Frankston High School zone promises a supremely comfortable life for growing families.

Two light-filled living areas afford abundant room for young and old, including a sumptuous formal living and dining room through French doors with plush carpeting and bay windows, while the equally spacious rumpus room provides the ultimate party zone with a built-in cocktail bar and double sliding doors opening to the superb outdoor entertaining area with pergola beside the swimming pool.

The well-sized timber kitchen with moveable island bench forms the heart of this inviting sanctuary and adjoins the family meals area with windows overlooking the pool, while a lovely central bathroom services the bedrooms and includes a bathtub and separate toilet.

A wonderful home in this most desirable location, the property also includes a gallery entry, built-in robes, ducted heating and evaporative cooling, open fireplace, dishwasher, carport, lock-up garage, horseshoe drive and enchanting artist’s studio at the rear of the property nestled in lush ferns.
