12 Viewbank Street, Shoreham, Vic 3916

A true architectural masterpiece by celebrated architect Russell Barrett, this rare Shoreham beach house, only 800 meters from the sand, captures modernist sophistication and panoramic beauty with a seamless connection to its surroundings. Set on a spectacular 5,261 sqm (approx.) allotment, this 1986 residence was meticulously restored in 2014, celebrating its heritage while embracing breathtaking views of the Bay, stretching from Gippsland to Phillip Island. A symphony of timber, sweeping glass walls, and curvaceous lines mimics the natural coastline, framing ever-present views and flooding the home with brilliant light. Every detail, from the grand living spaces to the thoughtfully separated wings, creates an environment that feels both expansive and intimately connected to the landscape.

Two levels of elegantly crafted living areas highlight the harmony between indoors and out, each room offering a distinct purpose and ambience. The main living area’s suspended wood-burning fireplace anchors the design, while floor-to-ceiling windows reveal unobstructed treetops and stunning water views, leading to the substantial deck where ocean breezes and stunning sunrises set unforgettable alfresco moments. The well-equipped kitchen with a custom integrated dining nook connects seamlessly to this central space, while private wings host four spacious bedrooms, a family room, and two bathrooms, including a primary bedroom with a walk-in robe.

Located on one of Shoreham’s most prestigious streets, this property is just moments from the beach and Point Leo's surf, with Flinders, Red Hill’s gourmet attractions, and world-class wineries a short drive away. Designed as an idyllic escape, it includes all modern conveniences—from Starlink internet and reverse-cycle heating and cooling to secure electric gates and a double garage. This iconic residence brings together unparalleled design, an inspiring landscape, and proximity to the best of the Mornington Peninsula—forming a coastal haven like no other.
