The Bones
This beauty showcases all the textbook elements of Australian coastal modernism we've come to adore: clean horizontal lines that echo the endless Bass Strait horizon, generous glazing that frames the beautiful established garden setting, and the kind of thoughtful solar passive design that speaks to the original mid-century ethos of living harmoniously with climate and environment.
The open-plan living spaces flow with that effortless modernist grace – no fussy compartmentalisation here, just honest, functional design that lets the spectacular coastal setting do the talking. In gloriously original condition and beautifully maintained, this gem retains all its authentic mid-century character while offering that essential connection to natural materials that defines the best of Australian modernist coastal architecture.

The Position
Suffice to say on a global comparison, this Surf Parade positioning is right up there with the world's great coastal addresses. Front row seats to one of Victoria's most beloved surf beaches, with direct access to those famous Inverloch sands that have been drawing discerning weekenders and sea-changers for decades. The mature tree canopy creates a magical dappled privacy while that eternal soundtrack of Bass Strait provides the most sublime audio backdrop – your morning coffee comes with a side of crashing waves and your evening aperitif is soundtracked by the ocean's rhythm, even if you can't see it through the gorgeous established greenery.

The Opportunity
A more unassuming yet utterly sublime coastal home would be hard to find, sitting on premium beachfront land in one of the peninsula's most coveted seaside hamlets. The thoughtfully designed front and rear decks are pure genius – perfectly positioned to follow the sun's path throughout the day, offering morning garden tranquility and afternoon sanctuary as the seasons dictate, all accompanied by that constant, soothing ocean soundtrack filtering through the mature canopy. Whether you're drawn to the authentic mid-century charm, the unparalleled coastal positioning, or simply the prospect of waking up to those ocean sounds every morning, this Inverloch gem represents everything we love about thoughtful Australian modernist design meeting spectacular natural setting.

In classic modernist style, it's the sophisticated nod to indoor/outdoor living that really seals the deal here – those dual deck orientations creating the perfect all-day sun-tracking experience that the mid-century architects absolutely understood was essential to Australian coastal living.

The Promise
This is the overriding promise of sleepy beach towns still out there with more remaining tree cover than subdivision. A time stasis; unconcerned with the bang and buy of contemporary life, where you can focus on far more important matters like lazy bike rides, morning swims, a good cuppa and a quiet read in the sun. With all of this, a humble house reaches deep inside and pulls at our very soul. Rarefied Gippsland gold and we're already envious of the new owners, whomever they may be.

A total winner on the Victorian coast. The architectural equivalent of finding a perfectly preserved vinyl pressing of your favourite album – authentic, beautiful, and absolutely meant to be treasured.
