Record-seeking Brighton offering Kinane to lose half its tennis court as 825-square-metre block shaved off for separate sale
Businessman Russell Small has decided to slice off an 825-square-metre building block from his record-seeking $20 million Brighton residence offering, Kinane.
The 825-square-metre parcel (pictured above) is listed with $4 million hopes. The Kinane estate will lose its outdoor pool and half its tennis court.
Kinane was listed last August with $20 million hopes.
The agents are billing the 92 Esplanade block of land as having "spectacular bay and beach views situated between two of Brighton's most prestigious homes".
J.P. Dixon and Kay & Burton are still looking for a buyer for 2 Kinane Street (pictured below).
The property can still be bought intact with the block if the right offer is made. Kinane will retain 2,400 square metres, which will include a 25-metre indoor lap pool and supposedly room to relocate the tennis court.
The landmark Max Beck-built residence has been extensively renovated since it last sold for a record $11.2 million in 2006.
It has been listed by businessman Russell Small, who retired in 2010 from the board of the telecom and utilities industry services provider Service Stream, and his partner, Belinda Ding.
After its 1988 completion by the then Becton chief, the locals dubbed it the Brighton Town Hall because of its imposing size and prominent position on almost an entire block of the Esplanade.
The six-bedroom house sits on a 3,200-square-metre block in one of Melbourne's finest beachfront reserve locations, with views over Port Phillip Bay.
The four-level house comes with an internal lift and garaging for nine cars.
