Tasked with creating the ultimate family retreat, Day’s brief was clear: design a dream residence complete with a private tennis court, a fully self-contained guest cottage, abundant light and space, and a wide, expansive hallway that anchors the home with both elegance and flow.

The result is a residence that effortlessly fuses restrained elegance with intuitive liveability. Showcasing Day’s trademark expansive proportions and thoughtfully zoned, single-level living, the home flows with ease and grace, offering light-drenched interiors, a harmonious connection to the outdoors, and an overall sense of peace and privacy.

At the heart of the home lies spacious living areas, bathed in natural light and designed to embrace their surroundings. These grand spaces open onto broad sun decks and deep-set verandas.

The separate guest cottage is a thoughtful inclusion, offering additional accommodation with complete independence perfect for extended family stays or hosting friends in style and comfort.

A wide, sweeping circular driveway welcomes you in, leading to generous car accommodation including an expansive under-house garage with workshop, wine cellar, ample storage, and an additional bathroom suite.

This home is more than just a residence it is a private sanctuary that captures the essence of relaxed coastal living. With easy access to Portsea village, and just a short stroll to both bay and ocean beaches, the lifestyle on offer is as effortless as it is rare. Discreetly positioned in a tightly held area, designed for the rhythm of family life and the art of entertaining, it is a timeless retreat where sophistication meets soul.
