TV’s Marty Fox and his wife Charlotte have listed 361 Arthurs Seat Rd, Red Hill.
TV personality and high-flying real estate figure Marty Fox and wife Charlotte are selling a charming Mornington Peninsula getaway that he describes as a “cottage out the front and party out the back” with a $1.9m-$2.09m asking range.
Fox is known for being a judge on reality show The Block and chief executive officer of the Whitefox Australian and New Zealand agencies, which he co-founded alongside Charlotte.
The couple have listed their house at 361 Arthurs Seat Rd, Red Hill, where lavender plants line stairs leading from the covered deck and outdoor kitchen to the heated pool.

Fox says that in 2021, they bought the circa-1950s cottage that they transformed into a stylish part-time retreat, while living in Melbourne.
However, they are selling after moving to a larger residence in Toorak and not being able to travel to the Peninsula as much.

“It’s such a beautiful home,” Fox says.
“It was a real escape for our three kids, they loved the space.”

Whitefox Real Estate’s Deb Merchan says the three-bedroom house’s renovation maintained some vintage details including ceiling cornices.
“It’s a genuine lifestyle escape in the heart of Red Hill that brings together the perfect mix of period charm and modern design,” Merchan says.
“While it is a true getaway, everything you need is just around the corner.”
The residence is close to restaurants, award-winning wineries, schools and the beach.
An outdoor shower provides a place to rinse off after visiting the sand.
The kitchen features an island bench, marble bench tops, French blue cabinetry, Perrin & Rowe brand tap-ware and a butler’s pantry.

Merchan says the house would be an ideal full-time home, part-time retreat or short-term accommodation rental.
The kitchen is fitted with an island bench, marble bench tops, French blue cabinetry and Perrin & Rowe brand tap-ware, plus a butler’s pantry.
An open fireplace warms the formal dining area and a wood-burning fireplace keeps the living area cosy.
The main bedroom enjoys a view of the garden and features an ensuite with underfloor heating.
