Overview

Positioned high on the foreshore cliff within one of Smiths Beach's most tightly held and exclusive enclaves, this direct waterfront residence offers a level of privacy and permanence rarely found along the coastline. Properties in this immediate pocket are seldom offered, making this an opportunity of genuine scarcity.Designed by respected modernist architect, the late John Baird - renowned for his distinctive mid-century residential work across Melbourne, particularly in Beaumaris, the home reflects a thoughtful architectural response to the site and setting. With direct access to one of Australia's best surf beaches and set against the dramatic coastal landscape, the residence embraces its elevated position with cathedral ceilings, expansive use of windows and carefully framed sight lines that draw the ocean into everyday living. The design is understated yet purposeful, allowing the uninterrupted beach and water views to remain the focal point. As the day turns to evening, enjoy brilliant sunsets from this front row setting. The upper level comprises a generous open plan living, kitchen and dining area, deliberately oriented to capture the coastline vista. It is a space that balances retreat with entertaining, all while maintaining a sense of seclusion above the shore.Accommodation comprises three bedrooms, including a private main bedroom retreat complete with a sitting area and deck, situated on the third level and positioned opposite the family bathroom. A rare opportunity to secure prime real estate in an exclusive coastal setting with direct foreshore frontage - this is a rare and compelling offering.Other great features include : outdoor shower with surf views, built in robes, multiple entertaining areas, split system heating and cooling, wood fire, carport, store room, timber floors, low maintenance native garden
