Overview

Period Elegance & Contemporary Luxury in Brighton

Commanding a prestigious position in a tightly held tree-lined avenue directly opposite Kamesburgh Gardens, this distinguished Californian bungalow delivers a compelling fusion of period grandeur and contemporary family luxury in the heart of Brighton. Introduced by an established landscaped garden and a captivating façade enriched with Art Deco leadlight detailing, the home immediately conveys elegance and substance. Inside, soaring decorative ceilings, grand proportions and refined original features create a residence of enduring character. The ground level unfolds with refined elegance, anchored by a formal lounge featuring a graceful arched fireplace that provides a warm and intimate retreat. Adjacent, the elegantly proportioned dining room offers an exceptional setting for sophisticated entertaining, designed to accommodate both intimate gatherings and larger social occasions. This level also features a versatile secondary living space, ideal as a home gym, retreat, or family lounge, along with a separate office or bedroom, providing outstanding flexibility for modern living. The ground-floor bedroom is enhanced by a charming box bay window, while a beautifully appointed bathroom services the lower level. At the rear, the expansive open-plan living domain forms the true heart of the home, framed by oversized windows that capture serene views across the landscaped low-maintenance mod-grass garden, basketball area, and solar-heated swimming pool. This private outdoor sanctuary creates a seamless connection between indoor comfort and resort-style family enjoyment. The alfresco deck, complete with retractable awning, extends the entertaining zone outdoors, ensuring seamless year-round enjoyment. At the centre, the stone-appointed kitchen offers extensive preparation space, abundant storage and a full suite of premium Miele appliances including dual ovens and an integrated dishwasher. Upstairs, the primary suite offers an indulgent retreat with a generous dressing room and renovated ensuite featuring twin vanity and bath. Two further oversized bedrooms with built-in robes share a stylish central bathroom. Additional features include a pantry/laundry with drying cupboard, zoned ducted heating and cooling supplemented by split-system comfort, and a double carport with automated gate. Perfectly positioned within walking distance of North Brighton railway station and Gardenvale railway station, moments to Church Street's boutiques and dining, and close to leading schools including Brighton Grammar School, Firbank Grammar School and Star of the Sea College, this is a rare opportunity to secure blue-chip beachside prestige just moments from the bay.
