Held by one family for over 50 years, this modernist Sorrento residence enjoys its own beach access and views over the Bay, shipping channel and dramatic Arthurs Seat backdrop.

Named 'Paringa', the home has been substantially renovated three times over its fifty-year life span and the most recent renovation is extraordinary in its design and functionality.

“Located on a slip of waterfront land shared by just a few with beach access, complete privacy and cinematic views over the bay, Marina and Mornington Peninsula coastline,” Liz Jensen told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

“The long driveway opens to the glorious white, modernist-style family home with a perfect, generous floorplan, providing the ultimate frame from which to observe the panoramic sea views beyond.”

The waterfront property was home to the late Albert Mantello, a giant of the AFL and a past captain of the North Melbourne football club. 

“Albert was one of the most influential icons of the sport and left an indelible mark on the game we all love. The home has been enjoyed as a family holiday escape for generations and later became a permanent home with a wonderful coastal lifestyle on the beach for Albert and his wife Lorraine Mantello,” Liz explained.
