A celebration of mid-century design by renowned architect Holgar and Holgar, this iconic c1970 residence on the beachfront of Black Rock’s revered ‘Quiet Corner’ reveals a perfectly preserved vision with breathtaking bay views from one of Bayside’s most privileged vantage points. Conceived to interact with its coastal surroundings and deliver spacious, sun-filled seclusion, this magnificent 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom home has the rare potential to combine its illustrious past with luxurious modern updates to create a memorable family domain.

A sense of occasion is evident – with twin iron gates introducing the opulent marble-adorned entertainers’ domain, with the glistening water of the bay reflected off the mirrored walls and curved glass within the relaxed lounge, bar and formal dining room. A testament to its time, the striking use of natural light creates an effortless transition into each space, spilling outside to multiple terraces, into the retro kitchen and down to the recreation/poolside lounge with a built-in wet bar. Make a splash in the pool out back, relax on the patio with friends and enjoy the sun’s warmth from a true-north orientation, filtering natural light through the established, low-maintenance gardens.

There’s two main bedrooms with dressing rooms and ensuites over two levels, accompanied by three additional robed bedrooms, an opulent fully-tiled bathroom with a spa, and a ground-floor office with custom joinery. Advantaged by its proximity to Black Rock village, parks, Ricketts Point Marine Park, Half Moon Bay and bike/walking trails, its comprehensive list of features includes hand-painted Italian tiles, original light fittings and furnishings, split system heating/cooling, laundry with chute, poolside bathroom, a triple carport and a return driveway.
