13 Kinane St, Brighton

Compelling Style, Coveted Lifestyle

Beautifully private within one of Brighton's most exclusive beachside streets, this notable 1939 solid-brick residence blends contemporary architectural design by Swaney Draper with Jack Merlo landscaping to form a breathtaking and luxurious family domain where inspired style is matched with effortless functionality.

Featured in Home Beautiful in 1942, this flawless example of Art Deco architecture marries perfectly with its modern enhancement, glowing with natural light from the steel-framed windows and doors, highlighting the authentic period charm.

The spectacular scale of the sun-drenched living/dining domain with a gas pebble fire is accentuated by full-width windows and bi-fold doors, extending the space entirely to the picturesque terrace with self-cleaning solar-heated pool with swim jets and BBQ. A streamlined gourmet kitchen with marble island bench and stainless steel appliances supplements the entertainer's appeal with premium appliances, including twin Neff ovens, a Highland stove, and integrated dishwasher.

Designed for year-round enjoyment, this space is fabulously orientated to capture the warmth of the northern sun, with automatic shade blinds overhead forming a protected zone from which to sit back and unwind while the kids splash in the pool.

Accommodation here is perfectly zoned on the first floor away from the living zones, with a palatial main suite boasting a deluxe stone-vanity ensuite, walk-around fitted robes and an adjoining office with floor-to-ceiling library shelving. Three additional robed bedrooms and a large family bathroom sit upstairs, while on the ground floor, a secondary living/dining space with a built-in study nook, powder room and large laundry (with a laundry shoot outside the master) complete an outstanding family offering.

Positioned just steps from the famous Brighton bathing boxes, the comprehensive list of features includes an alarm, cellar, intercom, remote external blinds, hydronic heating and RC ducted heating/AC, ducted vacuum system, auto irrigation and 28,000L underground water storage, auto gates and an internally-accessed double garage with extensive loft storage.
