Indoor-outdoor living is at the heart of the design, which wraps around an in-ground swimming pool.

Fletchers, Bellarine listing agent Ben Roberts said the house made a bold statement with its German-made fibre cement facade, featuring pivoting screens to control privacy and light in the front lounge.

But inside, timber highlights and Modernist inspired wall cladding created a warm vibe.

“The main thing is the design flow, ceiling heights glazing and architectural flair but also, being on a corner block across the road from the park, it feels like you don’t really have a neighbour so it’s pretty cool in that aspect,” Mr Roberts said.

“You have got light everywhere and you have got a big skyline. We had it opened on Saturday and buyers were commenting on how much of the sky you can see.”

High-end features include American oak flooring, custom-made double glazing, Hermon & Hermon lighting, a 40-panel solar system and a luxury kitchen with a suite of V-Zug appliances, including an induction wok cooktop, and an integrated Liebherr fridge and freezer.

There has been two $1.4m sales recorded in new estates in nearby Mount Duneed, but the current residential record for Armstrong Creek stands at $1.255m.

It belongs to a neighbouring parkfront house, 43 Ambrosia Drive, which last sold in 2022.

Mr Roberts said one of the biggest things that set his new listing apart from other premium offerings in growth precinct was the fact it was single storey.

He said it was also positioned in an established area of Warralily with easy access to Geelong, the Surf Coast and Bellarine Peninsula.

“It’s very settled in there now. It’s very quiet and you’ve got the reserve and the creek right there,” he said.
