8 Oak Grove

Brighton VIC 3186

Nestled among the majestic oak trees of one of Brighton's most serene and sought-after local streets, this spectacular five-bedroom, double-fronted Victorian home has been beautifully reimagined by Pleysier Perkins Architects and offers an inspired brand of Bayside luxury.

Tasked with designing a versatile family sanctuary that remains sympathetic to its Victorian roots, Pleysier Perkins' rework makes optimal use of the northern orientation, enabling swathes of natural light to bathe the entire home. The welcoming entrance hall ushers you into a series of impressive rooms, each with their own fireplace and 12-foot ceilings, including a sizeable home office and guest bedroom, and a vast central lounge featuring a large, centrepiece recessed window that frames a lush internal courtyard. Creating room for vertical double-glazed windows spanning both storeys, three clever voids grace a magnificent open-plan kitchen and family dining area. This beautiful space with its chic interior palette blends with the light-oak floors in affording a one-of-a-kind ambiance.

The spacious kitchen features two Miele ovens and induction cook-top, Liebherr appliances, a luxurious marble splashback, plus a wide island bench with Zip Tap and includes floor-to-ceiling designer cabinetry that cleverly conceals a fully appointed Butler's Pantry, study nook with marble desk and integrated fridge/freezer. The sun-drenched main living room features a gas log fire creating the perfect place for family evenings come wintertime. Sliding floor-to-ceiling glass doors help the living spaces to flow into a verdant, north-facing backyard enriched by a fully tiled, self-cleaning solar-heated pool, outdoor shower and built-in gas barbecue that serves an alfresco dining area, with remote-controlled Louvretec shade louvres and a stylish outdoor fireplace, perfect for outdoor entertaining.
