789 Nepean Highway Mornington VIC 3931

Timeless character and nostalgic charm define this traditional dual-storey residence, perfectly positioned beachside of Mornington along the iconic Nepean Highway. Known as Wembury, the home introduces a touch of Hamptons-inspired elegance to the Peninsula, set upon a substantial 971sqm (approx.) allotment with elevated views capturing the Port Phillip Bay outlook and distant city skyline to the north and west.

Sympathetically modernised to preserve its original character, the home reveals a welcoming staircase entry and a family-friendly floorplan where the zoned bedrooms are thoughtfully separated from the home’s main living areas. A central stone-topped kitchen anchors the lower level, surrounded by multiple living zones including the lounge, dining space and a relaxed sitting area.

The kitchen is well-appointed with a breakfast bar, Smeg stove, twin-drawer dishwasher and generous cabinetry, ideal for everyday living and entertaining. Polished timber flooring contrasts beautifully against crisp white walls, while casement windows, panelled detailing and high ceilings celebrate the home’s timeless vintage appeal.

The lower level also includes an updated main bathroom, master bedroom with ensuite, and a practical laundry, while attic and under-stair storage add valuable functionality. Year-round comfort is ensured with a gas log fireplace, split-system heating and cooling, and ceiling fans throughout.

Privately positioned upstairs, the upper level forms a peaceful retreat featuring a powder room, expansive dressing room, and a spacious fourth bedroom. An observation balcony invites you to enjoy sweeping Port Phillip Bay views, spectacular sunsets and the distant Melbourne skyline.

Outdoors, covered wrap-around alfresco entertaining with pull-down blinds creates the perfect setting for relaxed gatherings beside a refreshing splash pool and built-in BBQ. The lush, expansive backyard provides plenty of room for children to play, complete with space for a cubby house and veggie garden, while a side gate offers easy access to the substantial near-level rear yard.

A secure front fence ensures privacy, while a remote entry gate reveals a convenient off-street parking bay.

This enchanting seaside residence will capture the hearts of buyers who appreciate period elegance and character. Ideally located moments from the beach, scenic coastal walking trails, bus transport, vibrant Main Street, Dava Drive Village, Bentons Square and quality schools.

Developers will also recognise the exceptional opportunity presented by the deep allotment with wide frontage and water views, offering exciting potential for a multi-unit development (S.T.C.A.).
