Presenting a rare north-facing once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, this iconic Mornington waterfront home on a classic quarter-acre block was originally designed in the 1950’s by notable modernist architect, Norman Brendel, who celebrated its proximity to the shore with a glass-lined upper level entertaining space and huge sea-facing balcony. With the existing home positioned at the front of the deep-set 1006sqm* block, and a huge lawned backyard with direct rear laneway access from Fisherman’s Way, the property has the size, space and scope to preserve, subdivide, or redevelop (STCA) for a myriad of dream home opportunities. Showcasing breathtaking views across the Bay to the CBD skyline, the four-bedroom, two-bathroom, three-living area home, which has been lovingly restored, maintained and enhanced over the decades, will captivate with its original features including Tassie oak flooring, soaring ceilings and wide-span windows framing coastal and garden views. A stand-out modernist feature is the original built-in wet bar in the showstopping upper level living/entertaining space, along with beamed ceilings, timber-panelled walls, and decorative wall niches. Contemporary enhancements are equally impressive and include an imported ‘mid-century green’ French Sequin wood fireplace which enhances the charming ambience in the lower-level third living room or ‘winter room’. Freshly painted crisp white, the charming beachy-themed interiors are spacious and light-filled. The lower level layout comprises an open plan living/meals area and kitchen with a new 900 induction oven with induction cook-top, while a timber breakfast bar is perfectly positioned for relaxed brunches in front of a large picture window with outlooks to Fishermans Beach. The four bedrooms, all with split systems and ceilings fans, are linked by a wide hallway, with double-glass door access to the rear garden, while the two well-appointed bathrooms include one with a delightful pink mid-century built-in bathtub and matching pedestal vanity. Set behind automatic gates, with a double under-cover carport and off-street driveway parking, additional features include rooftop solar panels, an electric awning to the upper level balcony, a Ring security system, a large laundry/utility room with external access door, the original outdoor ‘dunny’, (still working!), a garden shed and storage shed. This coveted Mornington beachside neighbourhood edges the sandy shores of Fisherman’s Beach, known for its boat ramp, beach boxes, iconic Fisherman’s kiosk, and much loved local café opposite, while it’s just a 30 meter flat walk to the bay perfect for Stand Up Paddleboarding, a 10-minute walk to Mornington harbour, the park, waterfront hotels, and Main Street’s outstanding shopping and hospitality venues. *Approximate land size. Want to know more?

Amidst the whispering willows of the Derwent Valley, where time flows gently like the river beside it, stands a noble sentinel of Tasmania’s storied past: Hallgreen - a name etched in heritage, reborn in elegance and class. First gracing the landscape in 1825, this Georgian masterpiece is no mere home - it is a monument of memory and mastery, lovingly restored by its discerning owners who understood its significance and responded with reverence. Veiled in privacy and nestled within 5,731 (approx.) square metres of stately gardens, Hallgreen rests on the banks of the River Derwent as though painted there by time’s own brush. From the moment one approaches, its commanding silhouette - rooted in Old Colonial Georgian grace - stirs the imagination. Every corner of this residence speaks in the hushed tones of centuries past, although today the property is not only a grand family residence but lends itself to being developed into a reception venue, bed and breakfast or private hotel. Below stairs, preserved in its original Victorian solemnity, lies the servant’s quarters - an untouched realm of yesteryear. Here, authenticity whispers from flagstone floors and timber beams, offering rare insight into 19th-century domestic life. This space, ripe with opportunity, beckons transformation - perhaps into elegant guest suites or a bespoke B&B - allowing new tales to be woven into the estate's enduring narrative. Accommodation on this level includes a guest room and two bedrooms. There is also a library, the original kitchen and scullery. Ascend to the main floor, and the transformation is truly breathtaking. Where history lingers, elegance now flourishes. Enter through grand French double doors to be greeted by vintage Versailles-pattern oak floors, shimmering chandeliers, and a classical hallway that rivals Europe’s finest. Hallgreen has not been renovated - it has been reborn, each detail infused with intention and care. The floorplan here features a magnificent reception room, sitting room, family and dining room and two bathrooms. The gourmet kitchen, fit for an epicurean connoisseur, boasts white onyx benchtops, a regal Smeg cooker, bespoke cabinetry, and a butler’s pantry that dreams are made of. Each bedroom is a chapter of refined living all opening from a stunning hallway with fluted cedar arches. Outside, the gardens unfurl like a Regency poem - terraced and tranquil, adorned with fountains, fruit trees, herbs, and flowering beds. The air is fragrant with the seasons, and the soft hush of the river carries you away. Beneath the canopy of a venerable Magnolia tree, time pauses, inviting celebration, contemplation, or the quiet joy of simply entertaining family and friends. New Norfolk with its quaint charm and convenience, you are just a short stroll from great coffee, restaurants, schools, shops and services.
