Gracing a leafy, blue-chip corner in the heart of Brighton's esteemed heritage belt, this architecturally renovated three-bedroom-plus-study residence with two separate living areas, and a double lock-up garage splendidly fuses the finest elements of Victorian elegance with the utmost in contemporary luxury and liveability, just a short walk to Bay Street and prestigious schools.
Set behind a picket fence and designer gardens, an ornate ironwork verandah frames the single-level home. Ruby glass sidelights edge the traditional front door that opens to a gallery-like central hallway with a corbelled archway defining the towering 3.5-metre ceilings and engineered oak flooring cohesively flowing from the original front section to the contemporary extension.
The spacious open plan layout incorporates formal living with open fireplace, family living with built-in marble-topped joinery, a skylit study, and a gleaming gourmet kitchen with sleek custom cabinetry, marble benchtops/splashback, and Miele appliances including an induction cooktop, convection oven and integrated dishwasher. Full height glass French doors open to the private bluestone alfresco paved outdoor landscaped garden, verdantly bordered with ficus trees, while the newly fitted-out laundry has butler's pantry and mudroom functionality connecting from the kitchen to the double remote-operated garage, with workshop and storage space, and side-street access.
Each of the three generously sized bedrooms are newly carpeted in wool loop pile and feature traditional fireplaces, built-in robes and designer lighting. The main bedroom has been upscaled with the addition of a walk-through robe and skylit atrium-style luxe shower ensuite with floor-to-ceiling terrazzo tiling and marble vanity, while the main bathroom features Carrara marble, a double marble vanity, a built-in tub, separate shower and arched window. Additional features include gas ducted heating, split system heating/cooling, and a security alarm.
This outstanding residence is located just a short walk to Bay Street boutiques, restaurants, and cinema as well as North Brighton station. Golden Mile beaches, including the popular dog beach, are also in walking/cycling distance, as is Firbank Grammar, Brighton Grammar and Brighton Primary School.
