Rising above Port Phillip Bay, this landmark contemporary residence is an icon along Brighton’s famed Esplanade, with sweeping views over the Bathing Boxes and the glistening Melbourne skyline.

Owned by former NRL star Steve Bowden, the property last traded quietly off-market and this is the first time it’s ever been available publicly, with a price guide $22.8-$25m.

“It’s incredibly rare to find a home of this calibre directly on the Esplanade with such commanding, elevated bay views,” Will Maxted told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

“Positioned on a large but highly manageable approx. 1,387 sqm block, the property is a true compound - private, secure, and self-contained. It’s an impressive landholding for this location, generous enough for a tennis court, pool and gardens, yet still designed to be easy to maintain and enjoy. You’ve got this magnificent sense of arrival - the curved staircase, soaring voids, walls of glass - yet it still feels warm, liveable, and deeply private.”

Delivering unmatched entertaining credentials, the home’s fully equipped Miele and Gaggenau kitchen connects seamlessly to both formal and casual living zones, flowing to the outdoor pavilion, pool, and tennis court. 

The formal dining room accommodates more than twenty guests, while the upper terrace and living area crowns Brighton’s highest point, embracing an ever-changing 360-degree panorama.

“It’s the ultimate entertainer’s residence - whether it’s dinner for twenty or a quiet night watching the sunset from the balcony, it delivers on every level. We’re seeing growing demand from buyers who want this combination of space, security, and resort-style living,” Will explained to LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

Three vast en-suite bedrooms define the entry level, including a palatial main suite with spectacular bay views, whilst a study with bespoke joinery shares a balcony with the fourth bedroom suite above. Enclosed by towering hedges, established tropical landscaping and a cascading waterfall, it evokes utter privacy and escape.

Additional appointments include a six-car basement garage with room for a gym, motorised gates, zoned slab heating over both levels, a substantial wine cellar, reverse-cycle heating/cooling, poolside bathroom, outdoor shower, sauna, garden irrigation and lighting, back to base security and CCTV, 3-level interior lift, intercom entry, laundry room and abundant storage throughout.

“Constructed entirely from the highest quality materials, both internally and externally, this is a home built to last generations. Every finish speaks to longevity and quality - solid stone, custom joinery, imported fixtures - all selected to stand the test of time. It’s the kind of craftsmanship you rarely see in modern construction,” Will told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.
