4A Hillrise Court

Mornington VIC 3931

One of Mornington's quietest pockets, yet a short walk to Padua College and St Macartan's Primary. It's the sort of estate where the kids can play cricket on the street without a worry. Newly built by Anita and Graeme Alexander, and it shows straight away: every detail is meticulous and functional, from the European oak underfoot to the skylight over the breakfast bar, and the servery and folding doors that open the kitchen and living zone to the alfresco. Outside is decked, with a fully-tiled, self-cleaning feature pool and no overhanging trees to fill it. It truly is like having your own resort in the backyard.

The main suite sits downstairs with a walk-in robe and bathroom, joined by a second bedroom, a study off the entry and a powder room, so this works as genuine single-level living. Upstairs is a self-contained wing of its own: a bedroom, a living room, and a bathroom with a walk-in shower - a flexible space that could be a retreat for the parents, the teenagers, or guests, completely separate. Beyond the double garage there's a multi-use space, currently set up as a workshop with a steel beam strong enough for a hoist. With its own powder room, air conditioning and storage, it could just as easily be a studio or workspace.

The rest is what you'd expect from builders with the Alexanders' reputation. There's nothing left to do here, and that's the whole point.
