Last Listing description (March 2024)

Exclusively situated on a sundrenched North Brighton corner, one of Bayside's most sought after positions nestled between the beach, leading schools and shops, this grand entertainer showcases family excellence on a spectacular scale. The landmark estate of approximately 1,288 sqm is framed by established gardens with a north-facing al fresco domain and swimming pool the centre-piece.

Built in 1917, beautiful period detail has been retained and refined, while an architect designed renovation has added expansive family and entertaining spaces as well as further accommodation, the amenity these considerable rooms provide is outstanding. The home's impressive proportions are ideal for growing families, extended family and guests with up to 6-bedrooms including a private suite concealed beyond an innovative swinging wall.

The gated entry leads across rolling lawns to a tessellated-tiled verandah with mature palms and security fencing accentuating the property's exceptional peace and privacy. The original quarters highlights Edwardian elegance through a wide entrance, stately home office/cigar room, formal dining room and formal lounge each adorned with high decorative or timber strapped ceilings, box bay windows and stunning open fireplaces (two marble).

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.
