About this home
This stunning five-bedroom property at Franklin Road, Portsea, offers a peaceful and inviting winter atmosphere, perfect for families or couples seeking an upscale coastal retreat. Equipped with premium amenities such as hydronic heating, a gas-heated pool, and thoughtfully designed indoor and outdoor spaces, it's ideal for those who appreciate warmth, comfort, and refined living during the cooler months. The property is located within walking distance of Portsea's back beach — perfect for crisp coastal walks and dramatic winter scenery. Designed by De Campo Architects, who specialise in high-performance living environments with a sustainable future, the property sits on 3,400 sqm of land, just 1.5km from the Portsea Hotel and 2.5km from the Continental Hotel Sorrento. A modern, fully equipped kitchen is a standout feature, with generous bench space and premium European appliances, including a large SMEG oven, gas cooktop, dishwasher, and both a large fridge/freezer and two additional mini fridge/freezers, fully stocked for up to 16 guests. An espresso coffee machine with complimentary pods is perfect for slow winter mornings. Large sliding glass doors connect the interior to sheltered alfresco zones while maintaining warmth indoors, overlooking lush gardens and the pool. A wood log fireplace creates a cosy, ambient space for relaxing evenings, and a Smart TV with streaming services is perfect for movie nights by the fire, while a games room with table tennis and foosball rounds out the indoor entertainment. Heating and cooling is comprehensive throughout, with hydronic heating in every room, split systems in the master bedroom, ceiling fans throughout, and insulation with double-glazed windows to retain warmth on cooler days. The five bedrooms each come with ceiling fans and hydronic heating, with two offering ensuites, alongside three bathrooms (including a main bathroom with a bathtub) and a separate powder room. Premium linen and towels are included throughout. Outside, a gas-heated pool, pool pavilion, sun beds, and BBQ are complemented by a lower conversation deck with an outdoor fire pit, an alfresco dining and seating area accommodating up to 18 people, and a swing set and play area for children. A separate, large laundry includes a washer, dryer, and cleaning equipment, and off-street parking (including secure parking behind an electric gate) accommodates up to 5–6 cars. Please note that the pool wall has some visible cracking. While the pool remains safe for use, we kindly recommend avoiding close contact with the affected wall for added safety and peace of mind — the nightly rate reflects this condition.
