221 Church Street

Brighton VIC 3186

The home is designed around a central courtyard, optimising privacy yet open to northern light. Effortless entertaining is at the forefront of this layout, seamlessly extending the living space and cleverly connecting with the north-facing rear. Here a showpiece solar-heated swimming pool is balanced by a sandstone terrace, lush lawn area, and an alfresco poolhouse boasting a wet bar and powder room with shower.

On ground-level, the opulent and palatial main bedroom is drenched in light, complete with a supersized dressing room and a twin-vanity ensuite. Another bedroom is staged nearby, serviced by a fully tiled bathroom with a screenless walk-in shower. Family-friendly, the remaining three bedrooms are discovered upstairs alongside a skylit bathroom with a luxurious bath. Even more versatile living space can be found on this level, ideal for use as a teen retreat with additional areas for private study.

Special features include a ground-floor powder room, substantial attic and under-stairs storage, a double and single carport with additional driveway parking, extensive heating/cooling, secure alarm and intercom system, sleek new oak floorboards, freshly laid carpet, newly landscaped gardens, and so much more. Complementary period features include decorative Arts and Crafts ceiling artistry, intricate lead-lighting, and a number of majestic bay windows.

You couldnt wish for a more convenient address. Take an easy stroll to the wide open gardens of Billilla, Melbournes leading schools, Dendy Street Beach, Middle Brighton trains, and Church Streets parade of cafes and restaurants. A rare offering of unique pedigree, this fabulous family opportunity will not last long!
