A sensational celebration of post war modernist architecture by renowned and well-studied architect Ernest Fooks, this 1956-built home embraces and enhances the magnificent work of this eminent world-famous designer in a fabulous position steps from the shore.

With its front façade aptly heritage listed, the current owners have spectacularly restored and extended the home to create a seaside residence with class and distinction, with beautiful night-lit gardens finishing the 1615 sqm (approx.) property to perfection.

With a rear large private reserve parkland providing an easy walk straight to the beach, the impressive home is only 100 metres from the Ranelagh Club leisure facilities, and minutes to the village heart and Mt Eliza’s prestigious schools.

A style that remains ever timeless, this five-bedroom home uses timber, stone and glass to stunning effect with striking Castlemaine slate walls, Ash timber feature walls, floor-to-ceiling windows and sliders, and stone terraces.

An extension of the rear of the home creates a grand open plan living and dining area with incredible consideration to detail and seamless flow to the outdoors, where a vine draped pergola provides a divine alfresco entertaining space equipped with BBQ kitchen, while an open-air entertaining deck provides a sunny spot among the gardens.

The kitchen is exquisite featuring a stone island, integrated fridge and freezer, integrated dishwasher, two pyrolytic ovens, Zip tap, a walk-in pantry with integrated coffee machine and microwave, and a horizontal window showing off the organic produce in the kitchen garden outside.

Upstairs, a luxurious master bedroom includes its own lounge retreat with a flickering fire and a large wrap around balcony with bay glimpses through the treetops, while a large ensuite, dressing room and a private home office complete the ultimate parent’s suite. There are two more upper level bedrooms and further two on the ground level, with family bathrooms servicing each.

Set behind a gliding auto gate and double carport, the home also includes a dedicated wine cellar, a fully sound-proofed home theatre room, remote-controlled blinds, security system, water tanks, sheds and charming children’s treehouse.
