38 St Johns Wood Road

There is a certain calm that only comes from living above the treetops, watching the water, the light, and the slow movement of ships passing through the bay. Positioned just 700 metres from Blairgowrie Village and beach, this refined Hamptons-inspired residence offers a rare combination of elevated outlook, lift-accessed living, and effortless coastal luxury - a home designed not just to impress, but to make everyday life beautifully easy. Behind secure remote gates, the limestone and weatherboard façade introduces a home conceived for long-term comfort and considered living. Set across two light-filled levels and serviced by an internal lift, the layout has been crafted so that daily life can be enjoyed predominantly on the upper floor - where sweeping bay and treetop views, generous living zones and outdoor entertaining spaces come together. The main living level hosts an expansive open-plan domain with a superbly appointed kitchen and butler's pantry, complete with marble benchtops and premium Miele appliances. Large sliding glass doors dissolve the boundary between inside and out, opening to a private second-storey terrace with pool, spa, outdoor kitchen and dining - all framed by outlooks across Port Phillip Bay toward the Melbourne skyline. Accommodation is equally considered. Four generous bedrooms are complemented by a home office or optional fifth bedroom, and three marble-lined bathrooms with underfloor heating. The master suite is a true retreat, featuring a walk-in robe and an indulgent ensuite with double shower and freestanding bath, accompanied by the subtle sound of a tranquil water feature. Downstairs, a relaxed rumpus room with kitchenette, a striking temperature-controlled cellar with bar, and a luxurious steam room create space for family, guests and quiet enjoyment alike. Throughout the home, Tasmanian oak flooring, bespoke joinery and Elba marble speak to the quality of craftsmanship, while hydronic heating, ducted reverse-cycle air-conditioning and a limestone-clad Vektor fireplace ensure year-round comfort. This is a home for those who value ease of living, connection to the coast, and the privilege of proximity - where morning walks to the village, afternoons by the water and evenings watching the bay become part of daily ritual. Bridgewater Retreat is not simply a holiday house. It is a beautifully resolved Peninsula home, designed to be lived in, loved, and returned to.
