A heady combination of Mediterranean boldness and Californian glamour, ‘Pasadena’, located at 1 Trig Point, in the elevated coastal enclave of Mount Martha, Victoria, is an architectural wonder.

The lounge is fitted with a fireplace, pop-up TV and access to the outside terrace and deck doors while the kitchen features Savoir limestone counters with integrated European appliances and an expansive walk-in pantry. A further two bedrooms, two bathrooms a sunken home theatre and rumpus round out the level.
On the upper level lands the master suite, complete with walk-in-robe and ensuite – replete with more Savoir limestone (matching that of the kitchen) and is complete with a waterfall shower and dual vanities. Elsewhere on the property, the bathrooms follow suit with limestone and oak details.
The compound wraps around a with a rain-sensing louvred pergola, inground pool and spa complete that steps up to the separate pool house that homes the sauna, changeroom, indoor and outdoor fireplaces as well as a bar and games room.

Another, separate studio complete with its own bathroom, kitchenette, fireplace and two bedrooms adds further versatility to the compound while automatic gates, 13kW of solar power and electric blinds complete the details.

Grand final fever and the long weekend have dampened scheduled auction activity this weekend, CoreLogic reports.
The number of homes scheduled for auction this weekend is set to halve, with 1,324 properties listed, marking the quietest week since mid June. Melbourne will experience the quietest week since Easter, CoreLogic data shows, with 223 homes prepared to go under the hammer. In Sydney, 805 properties are expected to go to market, the lowest number in seven weeks.
With long weekends in Queensland and South Australia, numbers are also down in Brisbane (111) and Adelaide (86), less than half the properties available for auction the previous week. It’s a less dramatic drop in Canberra, where 83 homes are scheduled for auction, down -22.4 percent on the previous week.
