16 The Helm, Frankston South,
VIC, 3199

The three most important things in real estate all right here at 16 The Helm…

Location – right down the very end of a quiet court with no through traffic. Safe for kids of all ages to ride bikes/trikes, skateboards and scooters. There is a real sense of communal security here in ‘The Helm’. Great neighbours that look out for each other, while remaining unobtrusive.

Location – zoned for both Frankston High School and Derinya Primary School with Overport Park about 200 metres/2 minutes’ walk away and your own gated private entry to Frankston Conservation Nature Reserve where you get access to numerous walking and biking trails, a great variety of native birds (Kookaburras, Lorikeets, Parrots, black sulphur-crested Cockatoos…) and even Koalas. Nearby there are several childcare centres (including one opposite Derinya Primary), a tennis club, bike/pump tracks for teenagers, the Frankston Dolphins footy club and the new 12-storey Frankston Hospital.

Location – the single level home itself is sited on a large, near-level 2600 square metre block with the full length of the living spaces facing directly north and bathed in all-day, all-year sun. In winter, the deciduous trees lose their leaves, and the sun sits lower in the sky, ensuring warmth and natural light floods into the living areas during those cooler months. The sunny private rear garden includes an expansive lawn and numerous garden beds with trees, shrubs and perennials, which are in full flower from now until Christmas. The front garden alone is larger than most suburban blocks and there is a large asphalt driveway, perfect for skateboarding, trikes and even shooting a few basketball hoops.

A seating area out front means you can keep an easy eye on your little ones as they play on the drive and surrounds. The house has always been well maintained with the external timbers recently repainted and the rear decking restumped.

The things you cannot change about this property you would not want to change.
Inside, all the hard work has been done with a full professional renovation completed in August 2025 (by Smarter Bathrooms) of the kitchen, bathrooms, toilets, walk-in pantry and laundry, along with new flooring throughout the living areas. The renovation comes with a 10-year transferable warranty (9 years remaining), fully insured through the Lloyds of London insurance market, and the same surfaces and styles were used throughout. Over $300,000 was spent to deliver a high quality and modern finish that blends in well with the overall style of the property.

Before you move in, if your kids are past that “destructive” age, repaint the walls and recarpet the bedrooms to your taste at relatively small cost.

There are four distinct living spaces, two in each half of the house. There is
• a lounge with an oversized log burner, feature brick fireplace and vaulted timber ceilings
• a sitting area opposite (including bar and sink) for listening to music/watching TV
• a living/dining area immediately adjoining the kitchen area with a TV alcove
• a super sunny “rumpus” area with further seating and sliding doors out to the rear decks

There are also 4 double bedrooms (master with en-suite), all with built-in robes, and a separate study with built-in shelving and cupboards that provides internal access to a large double garage with new auto roller doors. There are also two 3m × 3m sheds for storage of bikes and garden tools.

This home has only had two owners; the original owners having lived here for the first 20 years after it was built in circa 1995 (by the first owner’s father).

The current and second owners have absolutely loved their time here over the past 10 years but are now heading off to New Zealand.

They particularly noted the sunny north-facing aspect, with peace and privacy at the end of a quiet street, and a rear garden that is an absolute sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle.

Hence the sign over the front door…

“Home Sweet Helm”.
