IF YOU want your friends to be able to see your address just by looking at a map of metropolitan Melbourne, then this prominent house in Black Rock should be on your radar.Built for restaurateur-turned-property-developer George Saade of Giorgios Armadale fame, 344 Beach Road sits on a sharp bend where €” if you're driving away from the city €” Beach Road shifts from a north-south road to east-west, following the groove of Port Phillip Bay.The house is also around the invisible line where Black Rock becomes Beaumaris, although both suburbs share the 3193 postcode.The three-level Holgar & Holgar-designed house, recognised for its size and dramatic arched balcony, is a time capsule of the 1970s, with original features in perfect condition.Centred around a large circular staircase, the six-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom mansion includes a cinema room, four-car carport and pool and offers water views over Quiet Corner and the Ricketts Point Marine Sanctuary.Bert Geraerts, of Buxton Sandringham, is marketing the property for private sale and expects it to fetch at least $3.5 million.
