12 Vaucluse St, Brighton

Sophisticated Edwardian With Modern Family Appeal

Serenely set in a picture-perfect pocket footsteps from Bay Street, this elegant 4 bedroom plus study entertainer underscores a family-focused lifestyle where character is a constant and convenience is at your doorstep. This roomy and relaxed home strikes a harmonious balance, inspired by the timeless Edwardian allure and contemporary interiors tailored to free-flowing entertaining.

Beyond a private row of handsome Magnolias and a timber-fronted verandah, discover a broad hallway on European oak branching off to a sunlit lounge room. Offering privacy and retreat if so desired, this welcoming, air-conditioned space is further enhanced by integrated cabinetry, a marble-mantled open fireplace, and a delightful bay window directing light to all corners.

The quartet of robed bedrooms are zoned to the front of the home, generous in size with dazzling natural light a special feature. The palatial main bedroom is serviced by a luxe, fully tiled ensuite featuring a stone-finished twin vanity, while the family-sized, main bathroom comes complete with a sumptuous bath and separate, walk-in shower. Fit for a workforce, a radiant home office boasts a built-in, full-length desk, shelving and cabinetry.

The home spectacularly opens up to reveal the wide-reaching comforts of open-plan living and dining. Crisp white walls and soaring ceilings add to the sense of occasion, with a high-end, sklyit kitchen showcasing an imposing Stone Italiana island bench, stainless-steel benches, premium Ilve oven and cooktop combination, and an Asko dishwasher. This triumph of style and substance will inspire the most reluctant of home chefs to entertain on any chosen scale.

Framed by rows of double-glazed, sliding glass, the luxury living heads outdoors to a skylit and downlit undercover timber deck with the convenience of overhead strip heating. Perfectly placed beside a lush, private yard anchored by a majestic oak tree, alfresco entertaining will become second nature with the capacity to stage substantial lounge and dining settings under shelter and shade.

Sympathetically renovated to accommodate the demands of modern family living, comprehensive features include a large laundry, powder room, heating/cooling, study nook with built-in desk, ceiling speakers, carport plus auto-gated entry, and a large shed/workshop. All of the Edwardian detail on display adds value including intricate timber fretwork, ornate open fireplaces, colourful leadlighting, and alluring bay windows.

Superbly located in a hideaway street with a pedestrian walkway linking to Bay Street, stroll to rail and retail, leading schools, and the Golden Mile beachfront. Embrace low-maintenance luxury with high-impact appeal!
