Breathtaking architecture, indulgent appointments, and a northerly facing indoor/outdoor living and entertaining zone are the distinguishing features of this impressively scaled four-bedroom-plus-study Brighton family home set within elegant low-maintenance environs in a tightly held cul-de-sac, just one block from Bay Street.
Showcasing the signature architectural style of Martin Friedrich, a Guggenheim-inspired spiral staircase, capped with a domed skylight introduces the home's designer style and high-end fit-out which also embraces wide-format European oak flooring, custom joinery, and newly laid plush carpeting. Taking advantage of its northerly orientation, floor-to-ceiling double glazing in the main open plan living area invites immersive connectivity to the alfresco zone that incorporates a wraparound blackbutt deck, a built-in barbecue, and built-in seating that extends to a bluestone terrace edged with the lush greenery and privacy of a bamboo border. The sleek kitchen is defined by an over-sized island bench illuminated by a trio of copper dome pendants which are artfully reflected in the marbled splashback and glossy 2-pac cabinetry. Equipped for gourmet pursuits with Miele appliances including a 5-burner gas cook top, a convection oven and a dishwasher, a walk-in preparation pantry offers further space and amenity when entertaining. Designed for flexible family or zoned multi-generational living, the tri-level layout comprises adaptive living options on each level, with a bedroom (or second living room) on the main entry/living level, along with a bathroom and study.
Illuminated by the domed skylight the impressively-dimensioned first floor extends to a gallery-like skylit and sconce-lined hallway that leads to the sumptuous north-facing main bedroom with designer bedside pendants, a fitted walk-through robe, and luxe marble-tiled ensuite. There are also another two generously sized and beautifully fitted-out bedrooms with built-in robes and marble-topped desks, and the sanctuary-like five star main bathroom with a free-standing tub, twin vanities and walk-in shower. The lower level houses a cinema room (or additional living or bedroom), a full-size laundry room with chute and access to the three-car basement garage with turntable and two storage rooms. Additional features include zoned heating and cooling, security system, video intercom entry and plenty of storage cabinetry throughout.
This enviable blue-chip Brighton address is a short walk to Bay Street's shops, cafes, and train station, and is an easy stroll to the beach, Martin Street Village, Brighton Grammar, and Firbank Grammar.
