1/2 Dendy Street, Brighton VIC 3186

If you're seeking an elegant family-sized apartment of ample proportions in a rock-star location, then look no further than 'Chateau a la Plage'.

It could not be easier to make your way from this ground-level gem, just 50 metres from Brighton's Esplanade, to Dendy Beach and the iconic beach boxes, for your daily walk, swim, or cycle. Low maintenance, so you can lock-up & leave for winters in Noosa or Cable Beach, this 'castle by the beach' is one of three architect-designed residences securely tucked away behind a French-style wrought iron gate framed by box hedges.

From the marble entrance foyer, an elevator leads to your three basement car spaces, and vast storage for bikes and other lifestyle essentials. At ground level, the home's spacious footprint houses 2 separate wings fanning out from a central corridor overlooking a sizeable, Zen-style courtyard. The serenity of a Japanese maple, water feature, and bamboo backdrop make for an entertainer's delight or simply a spot for quiet contemplation, enjoying the health benefits of the sea air.

Inside, an oak parquetry gallery-style hallway leads from the front door to the heart of the home: a light-filled lounge, living and dining area. The kitchen has a large Caesarstone island bench with double sinks, stainless steel ILVE 90cm electric oven with 6 gas cooktop burners and Teppanyaki, Smeg exhaust fan, brand new super-quiet Ariston dishwasher, microwave and built-in Miele coffee machine. The parents' wing, to the front, has a travertine-lined ensuite with shower, spa bath, double vanity, WC, WIR, BIRs and French doors leading to a courtyard with topiaried trees. Continuing the French theme, in the rear wing, two additional carpeted bedrooms, each with BIRs, share a travertine-lined bathroom with double shower, vanity and WC, comfortably accommodating guests, children, or grandchildren for those wishing to downsize and enjoy the enviable attractions and amenities of this almost-beachfront enclave.
