397 New Street

Brighton VIC 3186

An effortless transition from period splendour to the ultra-modern is achieved through soaring raked ceilings, double height light-wells and steel framed glazing providing a thoroughly contemporary interpretation of the era. A sun-filled retreat and enormous dining zone, overlooking the pool, flows to a grand-scale kitchen that is something to behold. This culinary haven will delight entertainer's with its freestanding Belling cooker, purpose-built stone island (convenient storage and power supply), endless prep areas and volumes of custom joinery including an integrated bar and butler's pantry.

Growing families are superbly catered for with the ground level comprising the guest suite, as well as a luxuriously large main bedroom (his & hers robes and a full-size en suite), and an ideal nursery or child's bedroom (built-in robes). Upstairs has been designed to adapt to changing family needs with play areas for young children that effortlessly transition to retreats for teenage students. A central rumpus room separates a pair of over-sized bedrooms each with their own play/study and a modern bathroom, and an alternative main bedroom. This unique suite is accessed by a floating walkway, and features an en suite, built-in storage, study area and a vast, private terrace.

Enviably close to Brighton's best primary and secondary schools as well as Martin, Bay and Church streets, Gardenvale station, Kamesburgh Gardens, and the sparkling beachfront (Brighton and Elwood), this extraordinary home even offers an outdoor shower by the gas heated pool to rinse off after a run or a dip in the bay. A remote double garage and auto-gated driveway parking accessed via Elwood Street leads to a huge laundry/mud room for enhanced convenience, while every other aspect of the home has been considered for family comfort with a guest powder room, abundant storage inside and out, hydronic heating, reverse air conditioning and security intercom.
