Surrounded by lush gardens this architecturally designed house is a place to recharge & relax. Although only a few kms from the beach, many shops, cafes and the Frankston train station, you will feel a world away from everything in the peaceful ambience of this property. The vintage furnishings, heating and cooling, quality mattresses and linen, large kitchen and brand new bathroom with bath and double shower, outdoor pool and gazebo will ensure you are able to eat and sleep well, and relax. The house is located in the quiet leafy suburb of Frankston South which is 4km to the beach at Frankston and 4.4km to the beautiful Davey’s Bay Beach in Mount Eliza. Supermarkets, chemists and cafes are 2km away and Frankston hospital with a 24 hour emergency department is 4km away. Free wi-fi is provided. The upper lounge has a 75 inch Samsung Frame TV with Paramount Plus streaming. The lower carpeted lounge is a TV free zone, designed to be used a place to converse, read, listen to music and take in the garden views. This house is a home. Unlike many short term rentals, it is not a property set up with cheap, poor quality fittings and fixtures to be used purely as rental investment. It is a family home that has been lived in and fully renovated in 2023 and will be used as a family home again in few years. In the period where it is available for short term leasing, guests are asked to respect the high quality features of the house and treat them with care. Quality Queen bed pocket sprung mattresses were purchased for each bedroom in 2023. You are guaranteed a good sleep on an Emma Diamond Hybrid mattress, and a Comfort Classic Eva mattress with a combination of premium foam and springs separated into five zones to properly relieve each pressure point. The linen is all pure cotton and purchased new in 2023. Quality new pillows are purchased new each year. The carpet in the house is a high quality 100% New Zealand wool, and provides warmth and comfort. It was installed in 2023 may still be shedding as new woollen carpet does this for years. Shedding is a normal characteristic associated with woollen carpet. Please avoid consuming food in the carpeted rooms as stains are very difficult to remove from woollen carpet. The wooden floorboards installed in 2023 are Australian Blackbutt are real timber, not vinyl. We appreciate care being taken with the floorboards. Standard usage with normal shoes is fine, but avoiding stilettos being worn on the floorboards would be appreciated. Felt floor protection has been placed on the legs of all furniture. Please avoid dragging any furniture as this scratches the floor. A Samsung front loader washing machine and quality clothes dryer are provided for guests use. Purchased new in 2023 they are in excellent working order, and we appreciate guests leaving the door of the washing machine open when not in use, to avoid odours developing. The dryer lint filter needs to be emptied after each use, otherwise the dryer may not work. Off street parking is available in the carport and driveway, with room for 3 cars.
