A Golden Mile Estate of Extraordinary Scale & Opulence
Rising just metres from the shoreline along Brighton’s illustrious Golden Mile, this French-inspired chateau is a residence of rare distinction, unrivalled in scale, craftsmanship and design. Conceived by West Valentine Design, it unites classical Parisian architecture with bespoke interiors and every modern extravagance across three lift-accessed levels. Commanding an indelible presence, it epitomises the exclusivity of one of Melbourne’s most coveted addresses.
Set within a north-facing, award-winning parterre garden, the limestone façade reflects perfect symmetry and a true sense of grandeur. Inside, an imposing reception hall beneath a soaring double-height ceiling and oval skylight creates a spectacular first impression. A hand-forged wrought iron canopy crowns the space, while a Versailles-style antique chandelier lends glittering drama after dark.
Palatial proportions and extraordinary amenity define the interiors. Marble flooring links the library, formal sitting room and grand dining room, while an expansive family domain flows to an indoor lap pool and a sunlit loggia with indoor BBQ. The entertainer’s kitchen is both statement and sanctuary, its bespoke island and mirrored detailing setting the stage for a Lacanche cooker, extensive custom cabinetry and a fully equipped scullery with integrated French door fridge/freezer and additional dishwasher.
Accommodation is of equal magnificence with four bedrooms, five bathrooms and three powder rooms. The indulgent parents’ retreat is enriched by a lavish spa ensuite, a ‘Hall of Mirrors’ dressing room, a private north terrace, and a marble-finished executive study accessed via its own powder room/wet area. A ground floor guest suite ensures hospitality at the highest level, while a basement cinema delivers a Gold Class experience at home.
French artistry is showcased in every detail: swathes of Mount Gambier limestone sculpted into curved walls, cornices and architraves; hand-cast fireplace mantles adorning five gas fireplaces; elaborately carved French doors and ornamentation throughout; and a sculptural kitchen hood at the heart of the culinary domain. Each bespoke element affirms the craftsmanship at the core of this remarkable home.
Further highlights include a caterers’ kitchen, commercial-sized laundry and secure basement garaging for five cars. Positioned for easy access to elite schools, Church Street, Bay Street and the waterfront, this estate is without parallel. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, it brings European opulence to Brighton’s blue-chip Golden Mile.
