40 Hopetoun Avenue

Mount Martha VIC 3934

High on the hill adjoining the Hopetoun Norfolk Flora and Fauna Reserve, sitting high in the trees on 1190sqm approx., this Daryl Jackson designed (c1964) 4 bedroom + studio 2.5 bathroom split level sanctuary was sympathetically renovated 12 years ago to stay true to the original design and be one with the beautiful hinterland.

Stunning with its huge picture windows, raked ceilings and natural timbers, this hidden oasis is orientated to maximise the native view of the neighbourhood conservation reserve, hear the birds sing all day long and enjoy an air of tranquillity and privacy that is often sought, yet rarely found.

Full of adventure and purpose, the first temptation of this iconic home is its stylish studio with store room adjoining the laundry and powder room - ideal as a home office, yoga studio, salon or creative space. The next temptation on the lower level also is the fantastic rumpus room with its elevated double day bed and great storage, as well as a private bedroom away from the rest of the home. The upper level is connected through vertical cypress pine posts to the expansive open plan living and dining area with its gas log fire and garden side decked terrace (built in bar), and a sunken 'cube' lounge that sits blissfully in the trees. The designer kitchen features porcelain benchtops, a 900mm Omega stove, Bosch dishwasher and mirrored splashbacks to ensure every corner can see the trees. The restful main bedroom has a huge picture window while featuring a walk in robe and sumptuous ensuite with freestanding bath. Completing the home are 2 further double bedrooms sharing the modern family bathroom.
