Overview

Architectural Icon in Elite Cul De Sac

Privately tucked away in an exclusive Brighton cul-de-sac, this architecturally iconic single-level residence will captivate with its impressively scaled modernist floorplan and luxuriously upscaled fit-out showcasing light-filled liveability and zoned functionality centred around expansive north-facing alfresco and poolside entertaining. Serenely secluded behind a high wall and automatic gate, the Peter Hooks designed home retains its visionary 1970s style and glamour, while an indulgent designer-led renovation brings it in line with contemporary living and multi-generational family functionality. Towering, sloped ceilings, skylights, architectural highlight windows, and floor-to-ceiling glass define the formal and informal living and dining spaces with northerly outlooks to the pool and crazy-paved bluestone alfresco terrace. The central five-star gourmet kitchen showcases an 'L' shaped Elba marble island bench/breakfast bar and high-end Artusi and Bosch appliances, while the entertaining amenity is amplified with a huge butler's pantry and adjoining storeroom offering an abundance of storage and preparation space, plus a second sink and drinks' fridge. Offering up to five bedrooms including two masters and a garden studio/rumpus, three bathrooms plus a powder room, and two studies including one positioned off the car port, there is plenty of scope for adaptive accommodation and working from home. Zoned at the front of the home, the lavish primary master suite is super impressive with its grand-scale floor-to-ceiling tiled ensuite and skylit custom fitted walk-in-robe/dressing room. Additional highlights include engineered timber flooring and plush carpets. Also includes video intercom entry and split system heating/cooling. Set on a generous 836* square metre block, the private wraparound gardens offer lush lawn areas, a built-in pool, the standalone brick studio/bungalow with custom fit-out which is ideal for guest or teenager accommodation, and a built-in barbecue zone. There is secure undercover off-street parking in the front forecourt along with another lawn area and neatly landscaped gardens. In this leafy blue-chip cul-de-sac, neighboured by some of Brighton's most luxurious residences, the home is close to the Bay Trail and Golden Mile beaches, Church Street and Bay Streets shopping, cafes and station, and elite schools including Brighton Grammar and Firbank Grammar.
