Overview

This distinguished contemporary residence at 8 Somerset Drive, Dromana offers a compelling blend of architectural finesse and prime coastal views across Port Phillip Bay towards Mount Martha. Nestled on a generous 1,987 square metre established garden, the property is designed to foster privacy and an immersive connection with the surrounding natural landscape.

Warm and timeless materials such as solid timber entrance doors and engineered oak flooring create an inviting ambiance enhanced by soaring ceilings and an understated color scheme. Expansive windows and open planned living areas are thoughtfully oriented to showcase the water vistas, while a gas log fireplace provides a focal point for comfort and social gatherings. The adjoining spacious balcony becomes a seamless entertainment area overlooking both manicured gardens and the bay.

Central to the home, a well-equipped kitchen with premium Miele appliances is complemented by a butler's pantry and a practical gas-strut servery window that opens onto the alfresco deck. This integration maximizes the indoor-outdoor lifestyle and adds warmth with an outdoor fireplace suitable for year-round enjoyment. Cooking, dining, and relaxation are framed by constant views, anchoring the home’s social heart in the natural scenery.

The main bedroom stands out with its private bay outlook, fitted walk-through robe, and a full ensuite that offers comfort and convenience. A dedicated home office on this level adds flexibility for professional or personal use. The lower level hosts four additional bedrooms arranged around a secondary lounge, a substantial storage provision, a fitted laundry, and another outdoor deck with views towards Tassell’s Cove, supporting a variety of living arrangements and visitors.

The gently sloping grounds with level lawn spaces provide an ideal environment for families or pet owners, offering safe play areas and tranquil outdoor retreats. Approved plans for a second dwelling and carport on the lower block portion open possibilities for expansion or accommodating additional vehicles while preserving the original residence’s pristine outlook.

Enhancements such as solar power, car-charging facilities, zoned refrigerated heating and cooling, an under-stair wine cellar, rainwater tanks, and smart irrigation underscore the property's commitment to modern sustainability and convenience. Vehicle accommodation includes a double garage with through access and a separate driveway suited for boats or caravans.

Located within easy reach of key local amenities including Boundary Road shops and cafés, Hillview Community Reserve with its mountain bike trails, local transport options, Dromana Village, and the foreshore, this home offers an accessible yet serene Peninsula lifestyle. Its elevated setting, versatile layout, and thoughtful features create a distinctive and restful retreat suited to families, entertainers, or those seeking a peaceful coastal residence.
