57B Thames Promenade, Chelsea, Vic 3196

A home that gives you more ways to live!

There is a point where a house stops being a collection of rooms and starts feeling like a way of life.
57B Thames Promenade reaches that point. Behind its distinctive contemporary façade, this is a home that has been carefully arranged around the things that make everyday living better — natural light, separation when you want it, connection when you need it, a backyard that genuinely becomes part of the home, and spaces that can change as life does.

Across approximately 209sqm of floor space and 252sqm of land, the design is generous without feeling excessive. The grand master suite sits privately on the ground floor, the main living spaces open towards the garden, and upstairs creates an entirely different rhythm with three further bedrooms, a second living area, study and additional space that can adapt to whatever your household needs next.

It is a home that doesn't simply give you four bedrooms. It gives you options.

THE ARRIVAL | A little different from the expected:

From the street, the combination of dark brick, crisp light cladding, timber detailing and established landscaping immediately sets the tone.

There is a considered architectural quality here without the house ever becoming cold or showy. The entry leads you into an interior that is bright, warm and remarkably connected to the garden beyond, with timber floors, clean lines and natural textures creating a sense of calm from the moment you walk through the door.

It feels contemporary, but lived-in. Designed, but not precious.

And that distinction becomes more apparent as you move through the home.

THE HEART OF THE HOME | Where inside and outside meet:

The kitchen, dining and living area is the natural centre of the house, but it is the relationship between these spaces that makes it special.

The full Smeg equipped kitchen is beautifully resolved with crisp cabinetry, 40mm stone surfaces, feature hexagonal tiling and a generous island that becomes the place for breakfast, conversation and preparation. A walk-in pantry keeps the practical side of family life tucked neatly away, allowing the kitchen itself to remain open, uncluttered and connected. Even its own separate coffee bar for the coffee enthusiasts and plumbing for modern fridges is available.

Beyond it, the dining and living spaces draw your eye towards the garden.

Open the doors and the house changes character.

THE OUTDOOR ROOM | This is where the lifestyle happens:

The rear garden is not an afterthought.

A substantial timber deck sits beneath a covered pergola, with draw down shaded awnings, creating an outdoor room that can be used in all sorts of ways. Morning coffee in the quiet. Lunch that starts at midday and somehow continues into the afternoon. Dinner outside while the garden catches the last of the light. Friends gathered around the table while the living room remains open behind you.

The landscaping, established planting and artificial lawn give the space a relaxed, private quality, while the direct connection from the main living area makes it feel like another room of the house rather than something separate from it.

This is one of those spaces that photographs well, but is likely to make even more sense when you are standing in it.

THE CLEVER PART | The house changes with you:

The floorplan is where 57B really starts to separate itself.

The master bedroom with a gorgeous feature wall and ceiling fan is downstairs, complete with walk-in robe and ensuite, creating a private retreat away from the additional bedrooms upstairs. It is a layout that works beautifully for a family now and remains equally adaptable later.

Upstairs, three further bedrooms are accompanied by a second living area and study. That means there is no need for every part of family life to happen in the same room.

The upstairs living area could become the children's retreat, a movie room, a quiet reading space or simply somewhere to escape when the downstairs entertaining zone is in full swing. The additional room gives you another layer of flexibility — bedroom, studio, teenager's space, home office or somewhere to pursue the things you don't want competing with the everyday life of the house.

It is clever without making a point of being clever.

THE KITCHEN | Made to be used:

There is a temptation with contemporary kitchens to make them look impressive and forget that people actually have to live in them.

This one gets the balance right.

The 40mm stone island provides a generous working and gathering space, the quality Smeg equipped appliances add a flare of style, while the walk-in pantry takes care of the appliances, ingredients and everyday clutter that come with a busy household. The feature splashback adds texture against the clean cabinetry, while timber accents and the outlook to the garden stop the space from feeling overly clinical.

Most importantly, whoever is cooking isn't separated from everyone else.

The conversation continues. The garden remains in view. Life carries on around the kitchen rather than stopping at it.

COMFORT | The things you notice without seeing:

Some of the best features of a home aren't the ones that make the photographs.

Year-round comfort is built into 57B with central refrigerated heating and cooling, allowing the temperature throughout the home to be managed with the consistency you want in summer and winter.
Then there is the energy story.

A substantial 30-panel, 6.6kW solar system with its own battery storage has been incorporated into the home, bringing another level of thoughtfulness to the way the property operates. It is a combination designed around modern living — comfort when you want it, energy generation during the day and battery storage to make better use of that energy.

These are the details that may not grab you when you first walk through the front door, but they become increasingly important once you live here.

THE RETREAT | Everyone gets a little more space:

Upstairs feels deliberately removed from the activity below.

The three bedrooms are positioned around the second living zone, bathroom and study, creating a genuine sense of separation. There is somewhere to close the door, somewhere to work, somewhere to watch a movie, somewhere for guests to stay and somewhere for everyone to simply have their own time.

Meanwhile, downstairs remains anchored by the master suite and expansive kitchen, dining and living area.
The result is a home that can bring everyone together without making everyone live on top of one another.

THE BATHROOMS | Calm rather than clinical:

The bathrooms continue the home's understated material palette, combining stone-look finishes, timber cabinetry and clean contemporary lines.

The main bathroom's freestanding bath introduces a softer, more relaxed note, while the master ensuite keeps everything beautifully streamlined.

Nothing feels overworked.

There is a consistency throughout the house — warm timber, natural-looking finishes, white walls, generous glazing and carefully considered details — that allows the architecture to provide the personality rather than relying on decoration.

THE CHELSEA LIFE | The coast becomes part of the routine:

Then there is the reason the location matters.

Chelsea has a particular rhythm that is difficult to replicate. The beach, village, railway station, cafés and everyday conveniences sit within a compact coastal setting, meaning the car does not have to be involved in every part of the day. Chelsea Beach itself stretches for approximately 1.5km along the foreshore, with beach huts, walking areas, natural dune environments, showers and dog-friendly areas, while the yacht club and surf lifesaving club add to the distinctly coastal character.

The foreshore is also closely connected to Chelsea station, with the beach precinct approximately 250 metres from the station, making the combination of beach and transport unusually convenient.

That changes how a place feels.

A morning walk by the water doesn't have to be an event. Coffee can become part of the daily ritual. A swim can happen because you feel like it rather than because you've planned for it. And weekends can move between the beach, the garden and the local cafés without needing an itinerary.

Around the village, there is the familiar Chelsea mix of local cafés, shops and everyday conveniences, giving the suburb a genuine town-centre feel alongside its coastal setting.

THE BIGGER PICTURE | A home that doesn't ask you to compromise:

What makes 57B Thames Promenade interesting is not any one feature.
It is the combination.

A master suite downstairs. Three bedrooms upstairs. Two distinct living zones. A study. A kitchen that actually connects with the people around it. A covered outdoor room that genuinely earns its place. A landscaped garden. Central refrigerated heating and cooling. Solar generation and battery storage. And Chelsea outside the front door, with the coast and village life forming part of the everyday backdrop.

It is contemporary without feeling generic.

It is spacious without feeling oversized.

And it is designed not around how a floorplan looks on paper, but around how a home actually feels when you live in it.

57B Thames Promenade is a home for people who want their house to do more than accommodate life — they want it to enhance it.

And that is something you really need to experience in person.
