More than 40m back from the exclusive Esplanade for a stance wrapped in grandeur and impression impossible to forget, this c. 1960 classic on a vast 1285sqm* delivers whisper-quiet, large-scale luxury in a class of its own.
Directly opposite the bathing boxes and golden sands lining Melbourne's most iconic beach, a highly secure, remote-controlled gate reveals a driveway reminiscent of a country estate, disappearing between hedgerows and sculpted trees to reach a turning circle, commanding entrance, and thoroughly reimagined interior beyond. With an open marble fireplace, sun from dawn to dusk, and views across the forecourt and gardens to sunsets over the bay, a relaxing front living/dining area meets a gourmet Smeg kitchen capable of catering for any occasion.
A window-side lounge frames lush greenery, a second dining space is perfect for casual meals, a substantial family room offers outstanding flexibility, and a gym/studio makes the most of secure rear-lane access, all spilling out to sprawling northern grounds with the atmosphere of a five-star resort. Palm trees soar above, hedges bring total privacy, and uninterrupted sun is met by a permanent sea breeze, with sandstone paving, pristine lawns, an in-built trampoline, and cabana with a kitchenette and bathroom all ideal counterparts to a heated pool taking centre-stage.
Capturing one of Brighton's most remarkable bay vistas, a magnificent main bedroom with a walk-in robe, ensuite, and sunset sitting area claims the second storey's entire western wing, headlining accommodation that's unmistakably first-class. Three further, robe-lined bedrooms and two additional bathrooms provide ample room for a family to grow into, while a central retreat/office steps onto a northern balcony staging Bayside treetops. Hydronic heating, zoned cooling, state-of-the-art security, smart garden lighting and irrigation, electric blinds, a full-size laundry, and double garage take the offering to new heights, while stirring scope exists to further refresh, fully reimagine in years to come, or start anew** with one of Brighton's finest beach-facing homes.
With the swimming beach, Bay Trail, city-bound trains, and Church Street's culinary, shopping, and afterhours scenes just steps away, lively Hampton and Bay Streets, Sandbelt golf courses, and the Yacht Club are nearby, while Brighton Grammar, Firbank Grammar, Star of the Sea, St Leonard's, and Haileybury headline elite local schooling.
