Once a proud chapter in Brighton Beach Girls' School history, 'Charleston' now stands as an enduring landmark, where heritage grandeur meets the pinnacle of modern luxury. This extraordinary residence marries period elegance with palatial proportions, presenting a statement renovation that leaves a lasting impression. Step through the Baltic-pine entrance foyer beneath a soaring domed cathedral ceiling, and be welcomed by sumptuous living spaces that lead effortlessly to areas designed for both lavish entertaining and relaxed family living. A central lounge, perfect for evening cocktails, flows seamlessly into a grand main area overlooking tranquil floral vistas, all set beneath soaring timber ceilings that enhance the home's airy, light-filled atmosphere.
The heart of the home is a meticulously reimagined kitchen, where a waterfall stone island commands attention and top-of-the-line appliances-including a Falcon cooker, fully integrated Liebherr fridge/freezer, three dishwashers, and a plumbed coffee machine-cater to the most discerning culinary enthusiasts. A versatile combined butler's pantry and laundry, complete with extensive soft-close cabinetry, ensures that functionality meets sophistication. Living and dining zones flank this space, offering an effortless blend of style, comfort, and practicality for everyday life and grand entertaining alike.
Outside, the home unveils one of Brighton's most private and spectacular outdoor realms. Enveloped by lush hedges, mature palms, and magnificent oak trees, the grounds offer a decked wrap-around veranda, shaded alfresco dining area, and verdant lawns ideal for leisurely weekends or large-scale gatherings. The gas-heated pool and spa form the yard's radiant centerpiece, complemented by a standalone pavilion with a bathroom, bar, and bi-fold servery windows-perfect as a poolside cabana or for marquee entertaining.
The accommodation is as thoughtful as it is luxurious. A master suite with twin-basin ensuite and dressing room anchors the home, while three lower-level bedrooms offer families the convenience of single-level living. Upstairs, two robe-lined bedrooms share a stylish bathroom, and a turreted studio provides a private sanctuary for a teenager or creative space. A full-size office caters perfectly to modern professional needs. Additional highlights include leadlight windows, marble-encased fireplaces, underfloor heating in downstairs bathrooms, new carpets, reverse-cycle heating and cooling, full irrigation, double garage, and secure parking for three cars behind electric gates.
All this, just footsteps from Were and Hampton Street's premier shopping, dining, and nightlife, Brighton Beach, elite schools including Haileybury and St Leonard's, and within easy reach of prestigious golf courses and the finest of Church and Bay Streets. Land size: 1,598sqm (approx.).
