They say position is everything when choosing real estate - well here is undeniably one of Melbourne's most iconic properties, 'The Riviera'. Sitting across from the famous Bathing Boxes on Brighton's Esplanade, the building has a history itself dating back to the 1880s. Concealed behind the gates of 'The Riviera' is a collection of four grand apartments nestled within a meticulously landscaped setting - something only to be seen to be appreciated. This north facing, ground floor residence with ocean views has been magnificently restored and renovated incorporating imported materials and features from across the globe, high quality fixtures and fittings, and graceful period detailing from the original Victorian that stood over a century ago. The blend between history and future has beautifully set the tone for what truly is an unforgettable domain.

Oversized Italian floor tiles and captivating floor to ceiling steel windows accent the huge family living room, further featuring extensive bespoke joinery and an open fireplace which enjoy the backdrop of a beautifully landscaped private garden. The solid oak chef's kitchen is handmade, based on an original kitchen designed by Danish chef Rene Redzepi, and is complemented by a comprehensive walk-in pantry and suite of Miele appliances. A formal living room features a French style marble fireplace and gorgeous window seat, creating a relaxed sensory haven.

Three generous bedrooms are full of character, the main featuring a luxurious ensuite, another with a built in mezzanine level providing space for an office or retreat - all include built in robes. Additional benefits include an ornate main bathroom, heated towel rails, plantation shutters, hydronic heating, underfloor hydronic heating and reverse cycle air conditioning in the family room. Outside, a three seater Sunlighten infrared sauna will rejuvenate and invigorate, complemented with an outside shower. The set-up is completed by a double garage and manicured common spaces.

The location is second to none: just moments from some of the most beautiful bay beaches imaginable, minutes from world class dining, cafes and boutique shopping, and within walking distance to some of Melbourne's most sought after schools. We welcome your inspection of this Brighton icon, that will take your breath away.
