36 Red Bluff Street, Black Rock, Vic 3193

Outstandingly positioned to embrace the enviable Bayside lifestyle, this uniquely bespoke Black Rock residence presents an inspiring opportunity to reimagine and transform or to redevelop and build a coastal dream home (STCA) on a deep 880sqm* north-south oriented block.

Held by the same family for more than 50 years, the character-rich art-deco features of the original California bungalow provided the inspiration for a grand-scale extension in the 1990s incorporating an indoor pool and spa, an enormous entertaining space, and a standalone bungalow/studio.

Bedecked in a veritable treasure trove of vintage and antique materials, including an abundance of stained glass and leadlight windows and doors, there are plenty of opportunities for renovators or restorers to salvage and repurpose.

The adaptive floorplan comprises up to four bedrooms and two bathrooms and a powder room plus a stained-glass skylit central kitchen, while three built-in wet bars underscore the previous owner’s penchant for entertaining. There are two gas heaters, plus central ducted heating/cooling, split-systems and large-capacity water tanks. The gas-heated swimming pool utilises sand filtration and the indoor space is equipped with a de-humidifier.

There is secure undercover parking for three cars, with two additional off-street parking spaces plus a garage/workshop. The uniquely landscaped lawn-free gardens include a front brick-paved patio with gazebo and a rear palm-lined rock waterfall and pond.

In this highly sought after beachside neighbourhood, with sandy shores and the Bay Trail at the end of the street, the property is within walking distance to both Black Rock village and Sandringham boutique shops, cafes, and restaurants. In the heart of Bayside’s ‘private school belt’ equally close to prestigious Brighton and Mentone schools, around 20 minutes walk to Sandringham station, and just minutes to world-renowned golf courses, including the Royal Melbourne and Victorian Golf Clubs.
