16 Lawrence Street, Brighton

Irresistible Blend of Victorian Elegance and Contemporary Charm

Masterfully underpinned by style, attention-to-detail and intelligent use of space, this freestanding 3 bedroom Victorian charmer offers so much more than initially meets the eye. Just two blocks from Church Street, the picture-perfect frontage offers instant appeal, while a triumph of contemporary, cutting-edge design discreetly rises from the rear.

Beyond a traditional, wrought-iron verandah entry, discover a welcoming arched hallway branching off to a light-filled, formal lounge under towering ceilings. Perfectly proportioned, this space will be used on a daily basis as a private sanctuary or the ideal spot to entertain family and friends. Framed by built-in cabinetry, shelving and an ornate open fireplace, this versatile room could also be used as a fourth bedroom if required.

Enjoy a ground-floor bedroom, serviced by a fully tiled bathroom with a bath and stone-finished, wall-hung vanity. From here, the home reveals itself in a most impressive fashion. Roomy and relaxed, separate living and dining areas pivot a sleek, Caesarstone-topped Miele kitchen with a waterfall-edged, island bench.

Accentuating light, space and depth at every turn, enjoy uncomplicated flow outdoors via bi-fold doors to a timber-topped courtyard attracting northern light and presenting a whole range of entertaining possibilities. There is a welcoming warmth at play here, both inviting and family-friendly.

Head upstairs to the remaining bedrooms and a luxe, family-sized bathroom with a twin vanity. This architect-renovated masterpiece showcases innovative quality that soars well beyond the bespoke-finished fittings and fixtures. Comprehensive features include a concealed laundry, extensive custom-built cabinetry, Spotted Gum hardwood flooring and plush carpets, alarm, zoned heating and cooling, a gas-stone fireplace, double-glazed windows, roller blinds, auto-gated entry to off-street parking, and a fully automated watering system.
