Epitomising classic Golden Mile grandeur, this landmark Brighton home celebrates the elegance and exuberance of its circa-1920s origins while offering a highly functional and adaptive multi-generational family-friendly layout, a host of luxurious appointments, and expansive north facing indoor and outdoor living and entertaining spaces including a swimming pool and gym.
Positioned on one of the Golden Mile's most exclusive tree-lined avenues, just four doors to the North Road foreshore reserve, boat ramp and Bay Trail, the impeccably presented character rich double-storey home, on a sizeable 893* square metre block, is securely set behind a high fence and automatic driveway gates.
An elegantly curved driveway and glazed, undercover entry portico creates a grand sense of arrival and introduces the bespoke home's architectural renovations and designer-led updates. Inside, the original beauty is retained in ornate plasterwork, leadlight glazing, bay windows, and traditional fireplaces, while a fresh colour palette, engineered timber flooring, plantation shutters, and hydronic heating assure contemporary liveability.
Offering five bedrooms, plus an executive-sized study, four indulgent bathrooms and a choice of formal and informal living and dining areas, there is plenty of space for families to live, work, entertain and enjoy the outstanding lifestyle amenities. Headed by a large stone-topped central island, the gourmet kitchen showcases a Falcon free-standing cooker which is complemented by high-end Miele appliances including micro/combi and steamer ovens, a dishwasher, and an integrated French door fridge/freezer. The north facing main open plan living zone offers indoor/outdoor connectivity to the undercover bluestone alfresco terrace and fully tiled heated lap pool. There is also a glass walled/mirror-backed gym/studio and a mod-grass lawn area. Perfect for guests, or multi-gen families, the downstairs bedroom has built-in robes and French door poolside access and is close to the downstairs bathroom and laundry. Upstairs, the palatially proportioned master suite takes centre stage and incorporates a north facing balcony, a boutique-like walk-in robe/dressing room with central island, and a five-star skylit marble ensuite, with a crystal chandelier above the elegant free-standing tub. There are a further three beautifully appointed bedrooms with built-in robes on this level, and another two bathrooms including one that is opulently appointed with a chandelier over the free-standing bath.
Additional highlights include central heating and cooling, CCTV security, video intercom entry, dual driveways, a double garage with remote access, plus there is plenty of secure off-street parking.
This prestigious address is just metres to the Bay Trail, foreshore and exclusive North Point beachfront, parkland, and café. Elwood Beach is just a few minutes' walk away, as is Martin Street and Bay Street's, cafes, shops, and stations.
