4 Morgan Street, Sorrento

Erected in 1960 for local Sorrento main street draper Robert Riley, the house was designed by one of Australia's leading architects Daryl Jackson AO, as one of a small number of projects that Jackson is known to have completed for friends and family members, after graduation from University. Jackson's noted achievements include the Melbourne Cricket Ground Great Southern Stand and the Southern Cross Railway Station with its emblematic dune-like roof that covers an entire city block. Located in the true heart of the Township between the picturesque front beach, pier and the thriving village centre the property enjoys close up, pretty postcard vistas to the foreshore, The Baths jetty and the sheltered, crystal blue Bay. A two-storey flat roofed house of concrete brick construction, expressed with a plinth-like lower level (incorporating the undercroft carport) with projecting upper level surrounded on three sides by a cantilevered balcony. The heartwarming effect is palpable, as the mid-century style unfolds with light filled spaces opening to surround decking and garden, showcasing many original features. This extraordinary opportunity to secure genuine mid-century Architecture in a highly sought after location in prime Sorrento, allows the new owners to inherit an enviable, creative and idyllic lifestyle.
