Circa-$5m Torquay beachfront property snapped up in quick sale
Torquay's front row is back in the front of mind of buyers as a house originally built for the family of a brickmaking empire was snapped up after just three weeks on the market. Torquay's front row is back in the front of mind of buyers as a house originally built for the family of a brickmaking empire was snapped up after just three weeks on the market. The four-bedroom house at 78 The Esplanade, Torquay, was listed with $4.9m to $5.2m when McCartney agent Tim Carson reached out to high-end buyers who had missed out on other opportunities close to the surf beach. The $5m sale is the second house to trade on The Esplanade this year, but comes on the back of four houses and six units outside of services apartments to get new owners in 2024. The house on a 809sq m double block previously sold in 2019 for $3.85m. Torquay's median house price is $1,175,000, according to PropTrack data. 'We had some people on our database as a result of some other properties on The Esplanade that we've sold and also the block on Park Lane. 'We shot those details through to them and let them know that it was coming up and a local person bought it. 'They're going to make it their home and the really excited.' Park Lane was an 1011sq m vacant block that sold for $3.55m at auction in March. The property house is set across two titles and enjoys views of Fisherman's Beach across to Arthur's Seat and Cape Schanck on the Mornington Peninsula. Mr Carson said the vendor was the third owner of the property, which he believed was built by Jim Selkirk's father, of Ballarat's Selkirk bricks. 'It's an attractive home. It was just really solidly built,' Mr Carson said. 'But the big thing is that stretch from Cowrie Rd through to Beach Rd, the views that are there are just magnificent. 'But the house has been renovated inside, so the people that have bought it won't have to do anything straight away, until they decide what they want to do.' The ground floor has an expansive, open-plan living area with a designer kitchen. Four bedrooms occupy the ground floor layout that also offers a rumpus room and separate living room all built around a central courtyard. A lounge room with a balcony and a study occupies the long first-floor footprint.
