Overview

A Blue Chip Opportunity with Landmark Potential

Commanding a prized north-west Bay Street corner between New Street and the foreshore (5 minute walk to beach), this rare 435sqm (approx) holding presents a landmark opportunity in beachside Brighton. Beyond its enchanting clinker brick facade, the 1930s Tudor/Art Deco residence is offered on a single title and comprises two expansive, full-floor boutique apartments, each rich in character, generously proportioned and bathed in sunlight. Equally compelling for investors, renovators or visionaries, each residence enjoys its own private walled courtyard and two off-street parking spaces. The broader blue chip offering invites a range of possibilities, from continued dual-income investment to transformation into a substantial luxury home, or future redevelopment (STCA) in one of Brighton’s most tightly held and prestigious pockets. Currently, the ground-floor apartment is introduced by an arched, covered porch and reveals a wealth of original character, including soaring ceilings, lattice leadlight windows and polished timber floors. A generous lounge with split system and adjoining dining room, both with ornamental fireplaces, are complemented by a charming study. The kitchen and bathroom remain largely original, while two bedrooms include an oversized main with ornate ceilings, all set against a paved courtyard framed by established greenery. Accessed via an enclosed brick staircase with decorative windows, the upper residence mirrors the same generous scale and beautiful period detail, enhanced by modern comfort. Two robed bedrooms are accompanied by inviting lounge and dining rooms with ornamental fireplaces and a split system, alongside a beautifully sunlit study. The kitchen includes a gas stove and dishwasher, with external stairs connecting to a leafy courtyard and parking, while the bathroom features a bath and separate WC. Superbly positioned just footsteps from the beach and cosmopolitan Bay Street dining and shopping precinct, rail transport, as well as leading schools including Brighton Grammar and Firbank, this exceptional address is further enhanced by its walkability to Brighton’s glittering Golden Mile foreshore.
