22 Downes Avenue

Brighton VIC 3186

An intoxicating blend of refined elegance, period charm and a contemporary entertainer's lifestyle give this tranquil family residence a hard-to-find presence all of its own. Tucked in a tree-lined avenue opposite the lush greenery of Kamesburgh Gardens, this is a Blue Chip beachside lifestyle in the heart of Brighton proper.

Be immediately captivated by the established front garden and classic Californian bungalow facade enhanced by Art Deco accents of striking geometric leadlight motifs, then once inside discover a home of pared-back splendour featuring grand proportions, decadent details and soaring decorative ceilings. Sure to tug at the heartstrings, the layout provides a formal lounge with a sweeping arched fireplace - further on is a gracious dining room with scope for large-scale soir?es. But the real focal point is the rear entertaining zone that boasts oversized windows framing views of the low maintenance mod-grass garden (basketball hoop) and solar heated pool. Entertaining is easy out on the large alfresco deck which boasts a retractable awning, while the expansive stone kitchen offers masses of storage and preparation space along with a full suite of Miele appliances including dual ovens and an integrated dishwasher.

A dedicated study for those working from home and a downstairs playroom gives all family members somewhere to call their own - also on this level is an oversized double bedroom with a beautiful box bay window and serviced by a luxe nearby bathroom.
