A Mt Eliza clifftop mansion featuring a pool pavilion designed as a luxury car showroom is set to make a splash with its $18.5m-$20.35m asking range.
Named Pelican, the five-bedroom house at 4 Denistoun Ave has an impressive infinity-edge pool and spa where guests can swim up to the adjoining undercover outdoor kitchen and entertaining area.
Marshall White Mornington Peninsula director Adrian Calcedo said the separate glass-fronted pool pavilion with a bar and shower ensuite could comfortably fit six vehicles.

“The gentleman who owned it previously had a fairly substantial car collection,” Mr Calcedo said.
“He built it especially for that, I believe he had a Rolls Royce or two.”
The pool house could also be used as a studio, gallery, gym or accommodation, Mr Calcedo added.
A floodlit mod-grass tennis court with basketball hoops and an in-ground trampoline are among the other highlights, plus the Canary Island date palm-lined driveway which winds through landscaped gardens.
Two remote-controlled double garages accessed from the house provide more space for car collectors to store vehicles.
Mr Calcedo described Pelican as “a once in a lifetime property” because of its 6067sq m size and “phenomenal” uninterrupted views showcasing the Melbourne CBD skyline, Port Phillip Bay and looking towards Frankston and Mt Martha.
With wraparound verandas on both levels and multiple French doors, visitors can sometimes observe dolphins frolicking in the bay.
“It is a very unique property for Mt Eliza, it’s not a traditional coastal property but it has got that Hawthorn Victorian-era style, especially internally,” Mr Calcedo said.
“It is a big grand home in terms of a mansion in Mt Eliza, the whole property itself sits on 120 squares (1115 sqm).”
Built in the 1990s, Pelican boasts marble fireplaces, parquetry floors, crystal chandeliers and leadlight windows.
There’s also a fitted home office, guest powder room, wine cellar and solar rooftop panels.
A freestanding cooker from the Rosieres range designed by professional chef Paul Bocuse and a walk-in pantry take pride of place in the kitchen.
The main bedroom suit has dual walk-in wardrobes and dressing rooms, along with two marble-fitted ensuites including one with a spa bath.
Pelican is a short drive to Mt Eliza Village and schools like Toorak College and Peninsula Grammar.
CoreLogic records show the mansion set Mt Eliza’s $12.4m house price benchmark when it last sold in 2017.
Since then, a former private hospital and home at 33 Jacksons Rd has fetched $18.7m and a 62.93ha plot of land with a vineyard, restaurant and house at 2 Sunnyside Rd changed hands for $30.66m – but Pelican retains the record for a Mt Eliza house without any on-site commercial operations.
Expressions of interest will close on March 19.
