180 Beach Road, Parkdale

Set on a coveted 653m² beachfront block opposite the historic 'Horse Paddock' beach — where Melbourne's premier racehorses, including Black Caviar, would take a daily swim — this architecturally designed four-bedroom residence offers an unrivalled bayside lifestyle. Architecturally designed, the home draws on mid-century design principles to blur the line between indoors and out, with sweeping sea and beach views stretching from Mt Martha to Beaumaris and across to the You Yangs. Enjoy front-row seats to spectacular sunsets, foreshore festivals and New Year's Eve fireworks, while Mordialloc's vibrant bars and eateries and some of Melbourne's most highly regarded schools are all within easy reach. Securely accessed via an electric gate, the property provides ample parking with space for up to four vehicles. Across approximately 45 squares, floor-to-ceiling double-glazed windows flood the home with natural light and capture the ever-changing coastal outlook. The upper-level centres on a sophisticated open-plan kitchen, living and dining domain, anchored by a double-sided fireplace and opening onto a private entertaining deck. Downstairs, a private resort-style oasis awaits, with a 17-metre magnesium lap pool and spa, alfresco lounge and dining pavilion, and dedicated basketball area. A rumpus room provides an ideal secondary living space and features a kitchenette — perfect for entertaining and poolside gatherings without the scale of a second kitchen. Generously proportioned bedrooms and Carrara marble bathrooms complete the accommodation. Built without compromise, the home features a full steel portal frame, hydronic and panel heating, split-system air-conditioning, 3-phase power with PV solar, ducted vacuuming, a dumb waiter, surround sound to all living areas, and European Oak, Italian and Spanish flooring throughout. A rare opportunity to secure architect-designed beachfront living of exceptional scale, sophistication and amenity, with the bay quite literally at your doorstep.
