Penthouse/68 Black Street, BRIGHTON VIC 3186

Crowning Brighton's esteemed ESSENCE with uninterrupted city views from both its private pool terrace and full-width lower balcony, this spectacular penthouse is without parallel. Designed by Bruce Henderson Architects and Interiors in collaboration with Kervale Group, this dual-level residence crowns one of Brighton's most design-forward addresses. Its presence is quiet but exacting, delivering a rare Bayside lifestyle defined by scale, sophistication and complete connection to Church Street's dining and retail precinct, only metres away. Direct lift access opens to expansive living and dining zones, where chevron oak floors and high ceilings lead the eye toward walls of glass that frame the view. A sculptural ribbon staircase arcs gently through the centre of the space, while the terrace stretches across the entire north-facing façade, complete with an integrated BBQ and skyline backdrop. Offering beyond visual impact, the kitchen is finished in marble and natural timber, and houses a full suite of VZug appliances, Liebherr refrigeration, wine storage and an oversized butler's pantry. Whether entertaining or retreating from the day, the design holds strong through every detail. Above, a sparkling pool and sky terrace take in cinematic city and treetop views, creating a peerless al-fresco domain entirely removed from the street below. The luxurious main suite captures the city skyline, enjoying a fully fitted bespoke dressing room and a decadent marble ensuite. Two additional ensuite bedrooms follow at the opposite end of the home, complemented by high-end finishes including a powder room, full laundry, and three secure basement car spaces. Residents of ESSENCE also enjoy access to a private lounge, wine cellar, gym, yoga studio, billiards room, and a dedicated dining space with a kitchenette for hosting. Further amenities include EV charging, golf club lockers, bicycle storage, pet grooming facilities, and a car wash bay, all discreetly positioned beneath ground level, whilst the lifestyle outside elevates the setting, a short walk to a choice of cafes and dining options, Middle Brighton station, and elite schools.
