Bayleys agent Winston Kidd described the Saltburn Road home as a sensational property and designed to take full advantage of the unmatched seascape.
"It's amazing to get a home on the beach and in a due north position,"said Kidd.
"The home has been orientated to get views that are framed by the windows and look just like paintings," he said.
