In Vogue: a bayside beauty
Deborah Bartlett Pitt is selling her stunning cliff top property in the Victorian suburb of Mount Eliza.
After spending the last 25 years writing up houses and gardens for Vogue Living Magazine, Deborah knows a special home when she sees it.
“There’s no question that this is a magic place. In its bay-side simplicity, it’s very Hamptons and Nantucket in its feel,” Deborah says.
Named ‘Four Pines’, the 80-year-old house is predominantly painted crisp white against original, polished floorboards. Almost all rooms of this remarkable property take full advantage of the astonishing views. Accommodation flows across two sitting areas, a gracious and sunny dining room, TV room, timber kitchen, four bedrooms, and two bathrooms.
Deborah has had amazing summer evening parties with bands and dancing on the entertainer’s deck.
“During the day, an electric awning covers the deck for lingering lunches and to give us an extra room”.
The Northern facing property benefits from a clean and beautiful beach situated just moments from the back door. The Robert Boden-designed garden is a low-maintenance sweep of lawn, coastal planting, lavender, roses, and topiary olives that flank honey-hued walls of Coldstream stone. At the base of generous steps from the deck is a level area designed for croquet; there is room for a pool and tennis court in the garden.
In addition, a separate two-bedroom cottage is accessed via a separate driveway and is perfect for resident caretakers or overflow accommodation.
