12 Normanby Street

Brighton VIC 3186

A captivating corner icon amid the most coveted and convenient of beachside streets, this beautifully reworked Victorian stands as an impeccable article of period excellence, adapted sympathetically for modern-day luxury.

Entwined in Brighton's history with roots dating back to the late Victorian era (c1890), an unforgettable Hawthorn-brick facade features intricate latticework and tuckpointing, with a covered return verandah winding through vivid gardens, landscaped by Paul Bangay, en route to a sensational entertainer's section at rear. Exceedingly private and secure while enjoying side access via Webb Street, a sun-drenched backyard features pristine box hedges and access from formal and informal living domains, with a relaxing alfresco looking over a radiant heated pool.

Effortless indoor/outdoor flow a staple of the home's recent reimagining, a magnificent, open-plan main area sees a skylit kitchen boast abundant soft-close cabinetry, a 900mm ILVE cooker, and Miele dishwasher, while a gas fire and views of vivid foliage enrich a combined and considerable family/meals space. Centred around marble and timber-encased fireplaces, connected formal lounge and dining settings serve as a relaxing retreat or ideal daytime office, with era-synonymous detail carried throughout a stunning original section. With rosettes to every room, towering ceilings augment the home's signature, airy ambiance, with an infinitely impressive entrance hall brightened by sublime skylights.
