North-Facing Quarter-Acre | A Bangay, McKimm & Rattle Collaboration
Created by landscape designer Paul Bangay, master builders McKimm and the late interior icon Stuart Rattle, this French Provincial residence is one of Brighton's most complete architectural statements. It occupies a quarter-acre with a north-facing rear aspect, in one of bayside Melbourne's most coveted pockets.
A horseshoe driveway leads to a grand double-door entry. Inside, marble and parquetry floors flow through a study, sitting room and formal dining room to a rear entertaining domain built for scale.
The home is designed around its northern aspect. The kitchen, family room, alfresco, heated pool and landscaped gardens all face north, so they are filled with direct sunlight from morning through afternoon, all year round. At its heart, the kitchen has twin AGA cookers, Liebherr refrigeration, Miele appliances and an oversized butler's pantry. French and bi-fold doors open to a barbecue alfresco and a private cabana overlooking the pool.
The primary suite occupies its own upstairs wing. It has two dressing rooms, silk-panelled walls, a marble ensuite and a private terrace with city skyline views. A ground-floor guest suite, three further bedrooms, two marble bathrooms and two flexible retreats complete the accommodation.
Below ground, a hydronic-heated basement houses an 8-car garage, wine store, private theatre and games room. An elevator, imported French oak, limestone façades and full smart-home integration complete the picture.
The home is moments from Bay Street and Church Street, the Brighton Baths and Royal Brighton Yacht Club, and city-bound trains. Brighton Grammar, Firbank Grammar and Haileybury are all close by. It offers a rare combination of coastal living, city access and elite schooling for returning expats and globally connected families.
