114A Esplanade Brighton

Gracing a genuine landmark location, directly opposite Brighton's famed bathing boxes, this super-impressive property delights with resort-style pool, manicured grounds, a charming residence, and fabulous sea views, all privately set on a unique, 1287sqm (approx.) battle-axe block of prime Bayside real estate. 'Somers', (circa 1957) is a double-storey English country-manor style home, positioned well back (over 30 metres) from the road, behind high walls and lush, landscaped grounds. An arcade of clipped trees lines the paved driveway that culminates in a turning circle. A grand entrance is assured through the over-sized pivoting front door, and the large bay window in the formal front sitting room, is true to its name, providing blissful water views. Perfect for lavish entertaining, the home has been updated and extended over the years and the large central kitchen with granite benchtops and a Gaggenau cooker adjoins a delightful glass-framed dining area, that looks out to the resort-style sandstone-surrounded 3-metre-deep solar/gas heated pool and self-contained cabana/pool house. French doors from the adjacent family room open to the expansive and lush lawn area featuring an Olympic size inground trampoline, and lined by perfectly pruned established trees, creating a serene and private haven. The ground level also includes a large rumpus room, marble bathroom, powder room, laundry, and access to the rear, which has a locked gate that opens to a Dendy Street laneway, offering another point of access. Served by dual staircases at both the front and rear of the home, the upper level comprises the four character bedrooms with attic ceilings, including the main with superb Bay views, a private balcony, large WIR and marble ensuite, as well as the main bathroom (also marble), and a fabulous central home office area, with a balcony overlooking the pool. Includes new hydronic heating throughout, ducted plus split system air conditioning, 'back to base' security alarm system, large poolside storage room, drip irrigation watering. Located literally a few metres from the sands and bathing boxes of Brighton Beach, hugging the corner of Dendy Street and The Esplanade.
