144 & 144A Esplanade, Brighton, Vic 3186

Embracing an unparalleled setting directly opposite Brighton Beach with unobstructed bay views from each floor, this tightly-held and iconic Art Deco residence offers a peerless opportunity for homeowners, investors and developers alike on a deep, flat allotment of 952 sqm (approx) with rear lane access from Wellington Street. Encompassing two, three-bedroom residences and held by the same family for over 80 years, this impressive property is an exceptional example of its era and offers a myriad of options to enhance, extend or rebuild with one or multiple dwellings (STCA) on Brighton's exclusive beachfront.

Beyond the quintessential facade and prominent portico entrance, each home boasts an alluring interior, displaying all the elegance of its Art Deco origins with first-floor bedrooms, ground-floor living and dining zones and a shared backyard that extends from private, fenced courtyard gardens. Residence 144A has been extended and renovated in recent years to reflect a modern-day family lifestyle, with hardwood flooring, a well-appointed stone kitchen and open-plan family domain, a formal living room and three bedrooms, including the bay-facing main with robes and a balcony.

Residence 144 is classic in style, yet generous across its accommodation, also with a bay-facing main bedroom, and a light-filled meals domain off the Miele-equipped kitchen that affords an idyllic indoor-outdoor environment for relaxed entertaining. Each home showcases unbeatable views, heating/cooling, plus ample off-street parking including a tandem garage and right-of-way access. Whether you renovate, invest, develop into one beautiful home or start again with a luxury vision (STCA), this opportunity epitomises exclusivity, with the beach, famous Bathing Boxes and new Life Saving Club across the road, Church Street shopping and dining precinct, a choice of private schools, and transport within easy walking distance.
