With soaring spaces, light-filled graces and great late-20th century design by architect Bruce Marshall, this is where architectural appeal and blue-chip beachside living meet. A rare freestanding architect's-own rear home at this iconic beachside address, this three bedroom, two bathroom single-level residence lights up with an architectural design characterised by a soaring cathedral ceiling for the lofty formal zone, a high clerestory-window for the relaxed family-room, and walls of northerly glass linking both areas.
With a well-zoned floor plan offering an exceptional base for ongoing renovation, the home features a garden-access master suite (with stone-finished ensuite and step-in robe) and a secondary wing of bedrooms to the rear. Updated for today with modern benchtops and Bosch appliances for the central kitchen, this reverse-cycle air conditioned home is a time capsule of the era’s best design elements. Cedar panelling flows outside, inside and up to the ceilings, artisan tiles are retained in impeccable condition and rich timber joinery remains unpainted.
Designed for outlooks to immensely private grounds at every turn with a sun-catching northerly aspect for the curvaceously paved main courtyard, there’s an easy-access double auto-garage on a vast turning circle drive. Immensely liveable and rentable as is with potential to retain an excellent ongoing tenant, this rare and remarkable property represents an exceptional entry to this peerless beachside-of-Church Street address.
Just 450m to the vibrant Church Street shopping and hospitality strip and a last-minute stroll to both Brighton Grammar and Firbank, this blue-chip address is just three blocks to the sands of Brighton beach, a stroll to both Brighton Baths and the new lifesaving club, and an easy commute to the CBD by rail or beachfront cycle!
