Brighton VIC 3186

Befitting its blue-chip location in an exclusive cul-de-sac overlooking Brighton Beach Oval and the waters of Port Phillip Bay, this architecturally extended and magnificently renovated landmark on (Approx 965sqm) Federation residence offers a dress circle ticket to the privileged Bayside lifestyle, just a 3-minute stroll to the sand.

Gloriously restored and rejuvenated, the circa 1904 faade retains all the hallmarks of its Federation-era origins and is privately set within established gardens behind a high fence and automated gate. Intricate stained glass, including an iconic sunburst motif over the front entry door, announces the home's century-old grandeur, further enhanced inside with exquisite timber fretwork arches and ornate fireplace surrounds. Soaring between 12 feet in the original section, and up to 14.5 feet high in the architect-designed extension, the ceilings, fitted with skylights and flanked with clerestory windows, amplify the generously proportioned home's light-filled dimensions.

With multiple formal and informal living spaces, the home offers a flexible floorplan over two levels that can adapt to any family's liveability requirements. Looking out to a sparkling, fully automated solar-heated salt-water chlorinated swimming pool and sandstone paved alfresco area, the contemporary open plan zone attracts plenty of northerly sun. Amply equipped for grand scale entertaining the bespoke kitchen's custom metallic cabinetry is contrasted with an earthy textured Stone Italiana Cartapietra island bench and features a 900mm Ilve freestanding cooker with an induction cooktop, Miele steamer and combi/microwave ovens, and a walk-in, plumbed butler's pantry. The downstairs master bedroom features a wall of glass with access to private courtyard, and a luxe ensuite and fitted walk-in robe, while the main bathroom is upstairs, along with three bedrooms including a front attic bedroom with balcony and stunning water views. There are also powder rooms on both levels.
