Overview

Mid-Century Modern Showstopper

Celebrating the time-honoured elements of mid-century design, the ground-breaking architecture of acclaimed modernist Harry Ernest has been elevated and enriched to create a unique four-bedroom plus study Brighton East family sanctuary. The design celebrates effortless north-facing living and poolside entertaining with a distinct 60's vibe. Having only changed hands three times since its circa-1962 origins, the single-level brick home in this tranquil, tightly held bayside cul-de-sac was impressively extended and renovated in 2010 by the current owners, with architectural design by Ray Demkiw of Melbourne-based architects Schulberg-Demkiw and interior design by Fiona Austin, co-author of Beaumaris Modern. The breathtaking result dazzles with floor-to-ceiling glass and expansive 4.5-metre-high spaces for living and entertaining, gliding walls of glass offering seamless connectivity to a private outdoor area incorporating a mod-wood deck and blue-stone surrounded quartz surfaced swimming pool. Perfectly positioned for effortless entertaining, the central gourmet kitchen with stone and stainless-steel benchtops is equipped with all-Miele appliances, while a George Nelson Bubble pendant light defines the dining area. Hand-stacked sandstone rock walls and planters adorn both the interior and exterior spaces, including the hearth around the open fireplace in the formal lounge, while bluestone crazy paving that edges the fully enclosed lushly lawned front garden further endorses the home's mid-century origins. Resplendent with its original built-in leather-topped curved desk and shelving, the home office/study is a true modernist's delight. The main bedroom opens onto the pool deck, and a reconfigured walk-in robe/dressing room and luxe ensuite. Vestiges of the original fit-out are still evident throughout the home, in built-in robes, cabinetry, and tiling, enhanced for contemporary living with pure wool carpets and a calming colour palette. Additional highlights include a mud room, a butler's pantry, a large laundry, a powder room, a laundry chute, a Heat & Glo gas log fire, air conditioning, ceiling fans, a double carport with workshop/utility room, and a storage shed. Admired for its crepe myrtle tree, that was planted as part of the original build, this landmark home is positioned in the heart of Brighton's sports and leisure precinct with the greens of Brighton Golf Course and the amenities of Dendy Park just moments away. Also, neighbouring Brighton Secondary College and an easy stroll to Dendy Village eateries.
