Architect-Designed Excellence in Privileged Position

A truly functional modern masterpiece of timeless beauty, relaxed privacy and natural opulence, this exceptional 5 bedroom (plus a study on each level) family home spectacularly unfolds with impeccable poise and flawless consistency. Every sunlit space offers elements of surprise and detail in a position of pure privilege.

Beyond a leafy native garden entry set well back from the street, branch off to a work-ready home office and a light-filled formal dining and sitting area, highlighted by soaring ceilings and breathtaking banks of double-height glass. Captivating, gallery-inspired open-plan living and dining is infused with natural timbers, underpinned by a high-end, integrated kitchen featuring an imposing island bench.

A wonderful wall of sliding glass extends the luxury living outdoors to an under-the-roofline alfresco deck and a solar-heated showpiece pool. Framed by low-upkeep native gardens in the northern light, entertaining will become second nature with a poolside terrace, additional deck and plenty of bench seating at your disposal.

Impressive family proportions flow upstairs with all 5 robed bedrooms, a family-sized bathroom, and a versatile home office staged here. Full-height windows invite light into all the bedrooms, as well as the sizeable study/rumpus privately separated from the other rooms by a bold, suspended walkway,another stunning aspect of this noteworthy property. Providing exemplary rest and retreat, the main bedroom also boasts skylit walk-in robes, a private north-facing balcony, and a fully tiled ensuite.

A ground-breaking, thoughtful creation by Rob McGauran of MGS Architects, the efficient and effective use of space inside and out is a triumph of spirited design. Enjoy a glass-walled, enclosed native garden courtyard with access from the living spaces, remote-controlled external blinds, large laundry with upstairs chute, ground-floor powder room, audio, alarm, intercom, bespoke cabinetry, storage solutions, and a remote-controlled double garage featuring internal/external access plus additional driveway parking.

Set on one of Brighton’s most tightly held streets, live effortlessly in a location you love. Take a short walk to the Bayside splendour of Kamesburgh Gardens, Bay Street shopping, public transport options, a range of leading schools and the beach. It all adds up to an outstanding lifestyle opportunity!
