Positioned in the tightly held Sandcastles complex, 405/170 The Esplanade delivers a front-row Scarborough lifestyle with the scale, flexibility and presence rarely found in apartment living.
This top floor penthouse apartment, complete with a fully self-contained studio with direct street-front entry and three car bays, captures sweeping ocean views and an exceptional sense of space, combining the ease of a lock-and-leave residence with proportions that feel far beyond the ordinary.
At the centre of the home, the expansive open-plan living and dining area is framed by full-height glazing and a broad balcony that draws the coastline into everyday life. The connection between indoors and out is seamless, creating a space equally suited to relaxed mornings or entertaining against a sunset backdrop. The kitchen is generously sized, offering excellent storage, ample bench space and practical functionality.
Accommodation is well separated, with the main bedroom featuring its own ensuite and built-in robe, while two additional bedrooms are serviced by a central bathroom with integrated laundry, with a secure safe positioned within the linen cupboard. Ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning further enhances the everyday comfort and convenience.
A true standout is the separate downstairs street-front studio, complete with its own entry and powder room. Ideal for working from home, hosting guests or creating a private retreat, it adds a level of flexibility rarely seen in apartment living.
Positioned directly on The Esplanade, you are moments from Scarborough Beach, the oceanfront pool, cafés, restaurants and the vibrant foreshore. Coastal walks, morning swims and sunset dinners become part of the daily routine, all just steps from your door. With access to the complex pool and dry sauna, the lifestyle offering is complete.
