Modern Family Masterpiece with flexible Dual or Single occupancy layout and lift!
A design revelation, this extraordinary home unveils an unmatched single or dual-occupancy layout, including a small home (with separate parking) within a much larger home perfect for addressing any fully self-contained need such as elderly parent(s), frequent guest stayovers or older children. With lift access and architectural moments at every turn this is a must-see to be truly appreciated !
A northern oriented sanctuary of visionary style in Brighton’s heart, this vast and versatile Col Bandy-designed and McKimm constructed masterpiece defies expectation! Sculptural and striking from the street, its modernist facade offers little hint of the layered warmth, light, and liveability within.
The architect’s celebrated play on light and volume is evident throughout. Soaring angles, walls of automated glass, and an atrium-style ‘winter garden’ blur the lines between inside and out. Natural materials add softness and refinement, Carrara marble and Blackbutt timber flow throughout, including in bespoke joinery such as a room-dividing media cabinet with a concealed TV lift and the inlaid island bench anchoring the chef’s kitchen.
Created to be wholly lived in, every space enjoys a sense of connection and calm. A luxurious main suite features both walk-in and built-in robes and a dual-vanity ensuite. A generous rumpus or teen retreat offers a bar and terrace framing a view of Brighton’s iconic Town Hall, with the same terrace accessible from a further bedroom adorned with Northern sun. This kids/teen zone is serviced by yet another stylish bathroom. Meanwhile, the self-contained guest wing impresses with a Miele-appointed kitchen, light filled living room, ensuite bedroom with walk-in/built-in robes. An additional Private yard is accessed from both the living room and ensuite bedroom.
Entertaining is effortless with a gourmet kitchen, butler’s pantry, and expansive indoor-outdoor flow to a north-facing al fresco zone and poolside terrace accessible to a fourth bathroom. With no expense spared, hydronic heating, reverse-cycle air conditioning, a remote accessed double garage, roller-door storage, full outdoor bathroom, and auto-gated parking to an oversized dual lock up garage via rear lane access complete the picture of easy family living.
Enjoying a prestigious position near Church Street, Brighton Primary, Brighton Grammar, Firbank, Middle Brighton Station, and Brighton’s Bathing Box Beach, this extraordinary feat of architecture and building integrity challenges convention and rewards inspection.
