12 Sandown Street, Brighton
James Home Rating: 675 | Grade B+ | February 2026
A home where the view does the heavy lifting. This is one of those properties where two standout moments shape the entire buying decision, the rest plays a supporting role.
How to read this home
Focus first on the elevated living zone and its outlook, that is the emotional driver
Then assess the main bedroom below, it delivers a second daily wow moment
Treat the floor plan, garaging and overall finishes as solid rather than exceptional
At this price point, you are largely buying position and perspective
What works
Elevated vantage point creating a striking visual connection to the water
Best viewing experience when standing, the height really matters
Bedroom positioned to wake up to that outlook, a genuine lifestyle feature
Separation between living and sleeping zones
What holds it back
Floor plan is functional but not groundbreaking
Garaging and general presentation are acceptable rather than premium
Some spaces feel secondary to the view, rather than equally compelling
Who this suits
A buyer prioritising outlook over architectural statement
Someone who values the daily ritual of waking up and entertaining with a view
A downsizer or lifestyle purchaser comfortable paying for position at around $11 million
If the view from where you stand and where you sleep is everything, this home will resonate, if not, you may feel the balance sits elsewhere.
