Presenting a glorious synthesis of circa-1940s grandeur and contemporary family liveability, a curated architectural renovation complemented by a lavish north-facing indoor/outdoor poolside entertaining domain showcases the uncompromised splendour of this outstanding Brighton residence, located just metres from Golden Mile foreshore.
Verdantly surrounded by all-seasons designer gardens, the double-storey Arts & Crafts style solid-brick residence is securely set behind automated gates. On the market for only the second time since its construction, the original home underwent a major renovation and rejuvenation in the early 2000s inspired by the design aesthetics of illustrious Scottish architect Rennie Mackintosh. The timeless result is a harmonious fusion of period and modernist sensibilities showcased with polished original Kauri timber flooring on both levels, signature Mackintosh style accents throughout, a showstopping custom timber staircase, box bay and leadlight windows, lofty ceilings with strapping detail, and a high-spec minimalist kitchen defined with a refectory-table-inspired island bench.
Luxuriously light-filled, the abundantly glazed north-facing open-plan culinary and main living area connects to a wrap-around alfresco deck with an undercover zone, and a delightful courtyard garden with a paved dining terrace. Completing the idyllic outdoor entertaining amenities is a solar-heated step-in immersion pool, edged with glass mosaic tiles and surrounded by lush greenery.
The expansive and adaptable layout also comprises a formal front living room with fireplace, box-bay windows, built-in shelving and desk, a downstairs study (or fourth bedroom), and the spacious upper-level main bedroom suite with the fireplace, box-bay windows and a converted balcony ensuite with exposed original brickwork, a large walk-in shower and treetop views toward the Bay, just 400 metres away. The upper-level family bathroom has original leadlight windows, classic subway tiling and a built-in bath and shower. All the bedrooms have custom built-in robes enhanced with the hallmarks of Rennie Mackintosh style.
