A short walk from the Golden Mile foreshore in one of Brighton’s most tightly-held, tree-lined streets, this renovated c1936 Art Deco residence by architect J. H. Esmond Dorney creates quite the impression, utilising its north-facing aspect, deep garden and incredible dual-level floor plan to maximise light and livability amongst the area’s finest. Beautifully preserved period finishes and refined contemporary upgrades harmonise within the free-flowing interior, flanked by generous outdoor spaces that create a spectacle of greenery day and night, created by Melbourne-based landscape designer Nicholas John.
Inside, hardwood floors and high decorative ceilings nod to the home’s origins, while a gas fireplace and interconnected living, dining and kitchen zones enhance everyday living and entertaining, fitted with quality Siemens appliances, including a combi-steam oven, convection oven, gas cooktop and integrated dishwasher. Northern light streams into the alfresco setting through French doors, where blood orange and fig trees add to the garden’s layered beauty, complemented by integrated storage and built-in seating - making the most of every lush corner.
Upstairs, architecturally enhanced high ceilings and skylights draw natural light into the landing zone, flowing into two generous bedrooms with robes, a versatile third bedroom or study, and a sleek central bathroom with laundry facilities. Highlights such as gas heating, reverse-cycle air conditioning, stone kitchen and bathroom surfaces, and keyless entry emphasise the turnkey appeal, located close to North Point Cafe, Bay Street, Martin Street Village and a choice of private schools.
