"NARELLAN" CIRCA 1889
Few homes carry the presence of Narellan. Built in 1889 and standing as one of Brighton's most recognisable Italianate residences, this address on the suburb's famed Golden Mile has quietly witnessed more than a century of the bayside enclave's history and today presents beautifully renovated for the next chapter.
A striking white facade and corner turret announce the home's period pedigree the moment you arrive, while soaring ceilings, generous proportions and elegant detailing carry that grandeur through every room. Sensitive, high-quality renovations have layered in the comforts of contemporary living without ever dimming the character that makes this house a genuine local landmark.
The ground floor is built for entertaining at scale: a formal dining room, a billiard room with its own bar, and a state-of-the-art kitchen anchor a sequence of light-filled living spaces, complemented by a private study and a sun-drenched sunroom opening onto wraparound verandahs. A wellness space, sauna and self-contained two-bedroom guest wing/retreat add flexibility for extended family, staff or long-stay guests. Below, a dedicated cellar awaits the serious collector.
Upstairs, the main suite is a retreat in its own right private balcony, walk-in wardrobe, ensuite and its own adjoining sitting room, with direct access to the turret. Climb the spiral stair further still and you reach the tower room itself, a rare private eyrie with sweeping views out over Port Phillip Bay.
Outside, manicured gardens frame a barbecue terrace with fireplace and a fully-equipped pool house with its own kitchen and bathroom a private resort setting rare even by Brighton's standards.
All of this sits an easy stroll from Brighton Beach, with the suburb's best schools, boutique shopping and dining also close at hand. Picture "Narellan" surrounded by expansive gardens with lawns stretching beyond the terrace and potential for a private tennis court.
For those with a broader vision, the adjoining allotment is also available by separate negotiation offering the rare opportunity to amalgamate and create an estate of exceptional scale, complete with a private tennis court, on Brighton's most prestigious address.
