1/174 Esplanade, Brighton, Vic 3186

Epitomising the utmost in lavish Brighton waterfront living and entertaining, this magnificently proportioned four-bedroom-plus-study contemporary residence will captivate with its big Bay views, luxurious fit-out across two expansive levels, an app-operated Creston home automation system, a private north-facing alfresco zone, a heated pool and spa, and lush landscaped front and rear gardens.

Commanding a landmark Esplanade address opposite the sands of Brighton Beach, there is secure video intercom entry coupled with side-street access to the pristine double garage. A travertine-tiled entry hall introduces the home’s refined sophistication and light-filled dimensions, while broad expanses of west-facing double-glazing ensure whisper-quiet serenity, and reveal everchanging Bay panoramas and glowing sunsets, further enhanced with automated blinds and sheers. Designed for effortless gourmet entertaining the sleek stone/Poliform kitchen is equipped with the full suite of Miele appliances including a gas cooktop, convection, steamer and micro/combi ovens, a coffee machine, as well as two integrated Liebherr fridge/freezers, and a Zip tap. Glass sliding doors connect the main living area, with Jetmaster gas log fire heater, to the front alfresco deck and private lawn area with established garden border. A herringbone oak hallway leads to the home’s second living area, that connects to the undercover alfresco entertaining deck with a built-in barbecue kitchen, heating and fans. Steps lead down to the north-facing rear garden and fully-tiled heated pool and spa terrace, with a feature stone wall and cascading waterfall, all privately cocooned in lush greenery.

There are three bedrooms and a study (or fifth bedroom) on the ground level, all with plush carpets and built-in robes, including the lavish master suite with luxe fitted walk-in robe/dressing room and travertine shower ensuite. A sculptural travertine, timber and glass staircase leads down to the lower level where there is a fourth bedroom with courtyard access, another travertine bathroom, a third living area (or home cinema), and an impressive, professionally fitted-out glass-walled wine cellar. Additional features include main bathroom with built-in tub, luxe powder room, stone laundry, zoned refrigerated heating and cooling, zoned in-floor heating, a Sonos sound system, back-to-base monitored security, and a garden drip irrigation system.

Ideally located, it is a short walk (approximately 600 metres) to Church Street boutique shopping, cafes, restaurants and Middle Brighton station, while a choice of leading private schools are all close by.
