76 Esplanade, Brighton

Victorian charm with stunning bay and city views

 One of Bayside's most significant beachfront properties, Green Point (circa 1884) offers sweeping coastal views stretching from Brighton Beach Gardens and the iconic bathing boxes towards the city skyline and further afield to the You Yangs.

This is privileged Brighton living, combining the elegant refinement of a different era with the relaxed comforts of today. Each space tells its own story without compromising on classical Victorian-era integrity.

Privately set behind a pair of sculpted hedges on an 808sqm allotment, discover an exquisitely detailed timber verandah before stepping inside to substantial formal lounge and dining rooms, ideal for entertaining with style and substance. The 5 bedroom home spectacularly opens up in contemporary fashion with an open-plan living and dining area adjoining a Miele kitchen featuring granite benchtops and splashbacks.

A central spiral staircase (with grand piano alcove underneath) leads to two of the bedrooms, a relaxed retreat, and an imposing timber balcony featuring Jarrah underfoot. The inviting surrounds of the second floor are enhanced by a strong sense of space and flow throughout, the water views from all angles sublime, the sea breezes invigorating. This area will simply never get tired, and nor will the stunning outlook.

Head downstairs to a solar-heated pool and entertaining area framed by a skylit cabana and a 4-car garage with right-of-way Gould Street (side street) access. Positioned on Melbourne's most prestigious boulevard, enjoy beach access directly across the road, make good use of the fitness trails or stroll to the train station. Properties of this special character and prestige are rarely presented for sale making this a truly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
