1/26 Esplanade, Brighton

Owing its allure to industry leaders Wood Marsh and SC Land, this ground-floor lifestyle sanctuary marries unmatched quality with design creativity; an expression of architectural luxe directly opposite Brighton’s idyllic foreshore. One of only four in its exclusive segment, the remarkable residence hides behind thriving plant life, a security entrance, and high, stucco-rendered wall, with a welcomed setback, open spaces, and brilliant passive light key to its airy ambiance. Steel-framed circular windows shape calming floral outlooks, with long, curved walls and acoustically rated glass highlighting the home’s artistic flair and considered functionality. Parting accommodation from entertaining, a wonderfully wide hallway follows the home’s round form, reaching a trio of sumptuous bedrooms and pair of lavish bathrooms. A chic central bathroom services two large, light-filled guest rooms, while an elegant master ensuite boasts a standalone soaker tub and slabs of textured, floor-to-ceiling travertine. The plan’s stunning focal point, entwined living and dining zones form a spectacular entertainer’s suite, with a travertine-slab gas fire superb for social evenings come wintertime. Sliding Reynaers glass transforms the space into a warm-weather haven, revealing a completely private, wraparound yard primed for peaceful coffees among greenery, after-hours cocktails, and barbecues enjoying the bay breeze. An exemplary kitchen centres around a Desert Silver Marble island, complemented by tumbled travertine tiles, wire-brushed oak veneer cabinetry, a hand-finished brass rangehood, built-in bar, and home chef’s selection of 400-series Gaggenau oven pair, warming drawer, fully integrated Fisher & Paykel fridge/freezer, and Gaggenau dishwasher. Its standard of specification befitting placement on Brighton’s prestigious waterfront, highlights include ultra-thick double glazing, plush carpets, reverse-cycle heating/cooling, European oak floors, Vola tapware, Meridian Sculpture doorknobs, irrigation, jamb-less doors, network cables to each room, walk-in/built-in robes, under-floor heating to bathrooms, a powder room, full-size laundry, IP intercom, and private triple garage with three-phase power. A mere 20m from Green Point with the blissful bay beach beyond, it’s just moments to the local baths and yacht club, Sandbelt golf courses, revered private schools, and lively Hampton, Church, and Bay Streets, with nearby Brighton Beach Station streamlining city access.
