This McCall family abode embodies designer living, from its captivating art collection to its cosy, welcoming atmosphere.
The home represents a stunning reflection of the McCall family’s journey, blending art, fashion, and coastal living under one roof.
The sisters have not lived at the Somers home but have spent plenty of time there with their parents.
Simon said the home was located in a fabulous community and was also a relaxing place to live.
“It’s quite peaceful – our girls have very busy lives so they found it pretty restful to come and stay here,” he said.
“It’s a very warm and welcoming house. and beautifully situated on the beach.
“Our grandchildren have enjoyed the home too – it’s been fantastic.”
Simon said that in the initial stages of preparing to sell, he and his wife asked Kay & Burton Flinders if they needed to stage the property – such as changing furniture or decorating differently – but were pleasantly surprised when the agency declined.
“We did initially think we would be asked to stage the home, they told us to leave the home as it is,” he said.
Niamh McCall’s artistic flair shines in every corner of the home capturing her passion for art and fashion which has passed down two generations.
A design legacy spans generations in the McCall family, who were told by agents that they didnt need to stage the home.
“Our family has been big collectors of art and ceramics for many years, the way the house is displayed in the pictures is how we lived in it.”
Niamh began the family’s generational legacy of fashion when her grandmother taught her how to crochet.
“By the age of 12, I was making my own clothes,” Mrs McCall said.
“I went to London School of Fashion and designed clothes for a few rock and roll bands, including The Beatles and then I came to work in Australia.
“I’m so proud of our girls and everything they have achieved carrying on our family tradition.”
One lucky buyer will enjoy breathtaking water views surrounded by serene natural beauty.
Simon McCall describes the tranquillity of Somers, where peace and coastal charm offer the perfect getaway.
And Mrs McCall said their 17-year-old granddaughter, also named Alice, could be next in line to join the family‘s fashion legacy.
“She’s very creative – at the moment she isn’t sure whether she wants to get into drama or fashion,” Mrs McNiamh said.
From the swim spa to alfresco terraces, every corner of the home provides space for rest and relaxation.
Tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac, the beachfront home offers breathtaking views of Phillip Island.
