Brighton's Esplanade; an address aspired to by many, yet realised by few.
This magnificent abode has been carefully curated to deliver an effortless fusion of timeless beauty and contemporary style throughout. Original features, including high decorative ceilings, classic panelling and leaded glass windows, meld seamlessly with imported terrazzo flooring, a range of bespoke lighting, and high-end fixtures and fittings sourced from around the world to create a home that emanates the perfect blend of sophistication and warmth; a balance that is often difficult to achieve.
The home, situated behind a high fence that aids privacy, enjoys a prime beachfront position on a corner allotment. It offers a partially covered circular driveway framed by established greenery, creating the utmost convenience whilst contributing to the property's understated grandeur. A soft interior colour palette produces a picture of beauty and a sense of calm; a theme that is carried throughout and is further enhanced by the abundance of natural light that spills through a central atrium and the large expanses of glass that have been well placed to allow vistas of the home's delightful surrounds. Rooms of generous proportions span two well-considered levels. The lower of the two is tailored for day-to-day living, with a variety of zones catering to the needs of a growing family. This includes a choice of two studies; a noteworthy room at the front of the home, ideal as a work-from-home option, and an open space with a long built-in desk that forms an area for the home's younger occupants to work uninterrupted. Formal undertakings can be enjoyed in the expansive lounge-dining room, situated at the home's entry, whilst more casual interactions are ideally suited to the substantial living room at the rear. Between these is the home's nucleus, a large space encompassing a significant casual dining area, and an entertainer's kitchen that's as aesthetically pleasing as it is functional. You'll appreciate the central marble bench, the abundance of woodgrain cabinetry, the Miele appliances, and the double Franke sink; you'll also be pleased to find a discreet Butler's pantry adjacent. An expanse of bi-fold doors allows a harmonious transition to the home's outdoor living zone, where you'll discover all you need for quiet relaxation or entertaining family and friends. A built-in kitchen with a Napoleon BBQ, a sink and storage cupboards can be found in the inviting paved alfresco, which extends to lush gardens and grass. In perfect complement is a large salt-chlorinated swimming pool that makes an enticing focal point and a place to make fun summer memories. The home's accommodation is completed on the upper level, where you are greeted by uninterrupted bay views that stretch as far as the eye can see. These can be relished from the curved glass sitting room in the cooler months or on the extensive terrace that extends from this in more temperate conditions. In close proximity are five robed bedrooms and three luxe bathrooms. Two of the bedrooms have private ensuites and overlook the water; this includes the sizeable master, which has an immense, fully fitted walk-in robe, and a striking ensuite featuring a deep freestanding soaker tub, twin basins surrounded by a wall-hung marble vanity, and an oversized walk-in shower. The remaining three bedrooms share the use of an attractive central bathroom and an additional powder room.
As you would expect, a home of this standing has an impressive list of extras, including reverse cycle heating and cooling, premium floor and window coverings, a fully fitted laundry with side entry, a downstairs powder room, an array of storage solutions, LED feature lighting, toughened Hush Comfort glass, a double garage and additional off-street parking. Then there is the highly sought location amongst a range of desirable amenities. You're close to Middle Brighton and Brighton train stations, local buses, a number of Melbourne's most elite schools, the popular Church Street strip with its cafes, restaurants, and specialty shops, plus the Brighton Beach Boxes and historic Brighton Baths.
