Inside $4.7m designer Mornington Peninsula dream home

This modernist-inspired luxury home is set on Beleura Hill on the Mornington Peninsula, with panoramic views across Port Phillip Bay.

Designed and built by Vibe Design Group, the team understood the brief: modern coastal living, from the first concept sketches in early 2018 through to the completion of the build later that year.

“Every decision was guided by clarity of vision, careful planning, practical aspects and functionality … the high-end construction and design was focused on family living, enjoyment and fun,” the vendor says.

“We took time to ensure not only the ocean views were captured, but also the grand oak tree in the backyard – which is framed beautifully by the architectural windows. A view from the kitchen that is almost unmatched by the ocean.”

The vendor is a long-time Mornington resident.

The vendor says the vacant block she and her husband purchased at 33 Morell St in 2016 was the “perfect canvas” for their dream family home.

“We were drawn to the block for many reasons; its location on a beautiful, well-known beach street, a stone’s throw from one of the most popular family beaches in Mornington, Mills Beach, and a short walk to Main St,” she says.

The home has a flexible layout “perfect for families”, set across two levels, with high-end materials such as engineered-oak flooring, pure wool carpets, and imported Italian Carrara marble tiles.

“We worked with specialist interior designer Noel Coughlan from NC Interiors to add warmth and high-end features to the home’s finishes. We imported Douglas & Bec custom lighting, including a chandelier in our large ‘void’ space, pendants and wall lights,” the vendor says. “A luxurious wine cellar custom designed by Vine & Vault with temperature control was added to the home in 2020.”

Set on 1015sq m, the property offers a range of entertaining spaces for residents and guests, including a north-facing pool and spa, an outdoor heated shower, an undercover pavilion with heating and lighting, a fire pit, and a basketball court with lighting.

“It’s a home that is practical for all forms of entertaining. Barbecues, pool days, beach days, or heading to Main St for a lovely meal followed by a home game of family basketball,” the vendor says.

“It’s a space where wonderful memories have been made.”

33 Morell St, Mornington is listed through Chelsey Gibson at Marshall White Mornington Peninsula with a price guide of $4.4m-$4.7m. Expressions of interest close at 5pm on September 16.
