There are beachside homes, and then there are properties that feel as though they were created for the privilege of coastal living.
140 The Esplanade is one of them.
Occupying an impressive 613m² allotment in an enviable absolute beachside position, this substantial residence offers a rare combination of generous proportions, sophisticated entertaining and an outlook that provides a spectacular backdrop to everyday life.
From the moment you enter, there is an undeniable sense of space and light. The ground floor unfolds across beautifully proportioned living and accommodation spaces, with three bedrooms plus a versatile fourth bedroom or study, a central bathroom, separate toilet, downstairs kitchenette and extensive storage.
Ascend to the upper level and the home's true sense of occasion reveals itself.
A spectacular open-plan kitchen, dining and living domain has been designed around the coastal outlook, with expansive double-glazed windows drawing in the ever-changing panorama beyond. The kitchen forms an elegant centrepiece, while the generous living area opens seamlessly towards the home's exceptional outdoor entertaining space.
Here, the distinction between indoors and out becomes wonderfully blurred - an effortless setting for intimate evenings, long summer lunches or entertaining family and friends as the sun slips towards the horizon.
The upper level is completed by a private main bedroom retreat, featuring a walk-in robe and ensuite, creating a luxurious sanctuary elevated above the rest of the home.
Adding an exceptional layer of practicality is the property's dual street frontage, providing both front and rear access. The garaging is positioned entirely to the rear, accessed via the rear street, meaning the home's principal frontage remains beautifully open to the coastal outlook - no driveway or garage interrupting the view, just the home and the bay beyond.
And the garaging itself is quite remarkable. A substantial double garage accompanies a second 6m x 6m double garage, complemented by extensive driveway space. There is room here for multiple vehicles, a boat, caravan, recreational equipment and all the accoutrements of a genuine coastal lifestyle.
Outside, established gardens and generous lawns create a private and beautifully considered setting, with a dedicated vegetable garden adding another layer of practicality. An outdoor shower provides the perfect finishing touch for rinsing off sandy feet and salty skin after an afternoon at the beach.
But ultimately, it is the position that makes 140 The Esplanade so special.
The beach is your immediate neighbour.
Imagine summer here. School holidays with the kids. Lazy mornings by the water. Family arriving for the weekend. Long lunches that somehow become dinner. Barefoot walks along the foreshore, watching the water change throughout the day - and from the comfort of home, watching the ferry make its way across the bay, a quintessential reminder that you're somewhere truly special.
This is a home designed for living, gathering and making memories.
Not simply a holiday destination you escape to a few times a year, but a place where that feeling can become part of everyday life.
Whether you're searching for an exceptional permanent residence, an indulgent coastal retreat or a home with the scale to accommodate family and friends in style, 140 The Esplanade represents a truly rare opportunity.
A remarkable residence.
An extraordinary position.
A lifetime of summer memories waiting to be made.
