9/10 Sandown St, Brighton VIC 3186

Within the prestigious Golden Mile development, 'Beachside', where outdoor space is seldom offered, this sophisticated apartment enjoys a privilege few in the complex share. A sweeping wraparound terrace looks directly across the bay to Brighton Pier, while a private gated opening leads from the terrace straight to the residents' pool and jet spa, floodlit tennis court and gym on the same level. It's the most direct and effortless access point in the building, and functions in every practical sense as a private extension of the home.

German-engineered folding glass doors glide back across the full curve of the living and dining room, where rich timber floors run underfoot and a 75-inch Samsung TV is mounted on the wall. The interior and terrace operate as a single expansive setting. On a clear morning the water becomes part of the view, part of the atmosphere, and part of the rhythm of everyday life. Sitting discreetly to the side without interrupting the flow, the granite kitchen is appointed with a wall oven, gas cooktop, double-drawer dishwasher, butler's pantry and a servery through to the dining room for ease of entertaining.

Three bedrooms include the main with a walk-in robe and ensuite, while two further bedrooms with built-in robes share a central bathroom with a bath and separate shower. Ducted heating and cooling, a full laundry, secure parking for two cars and an enclosed garage-style storage area that doubles as a practical workshop or work zone add everyday functionality, while lift access and video-monitored security complete the offering.
