31 Huntingfield Road, Brighton

Unrivalled executive family home in prized position

Determined to create a home that would be perfect today and also stand the test of time, the owners left nothing to chance when planning this exquisite French Provincial-inspired property. Completed in early 2023, the result is an exceptional residence that unequivocally meets this brief, and now presents an outstanding opportunity to buy engineered built-to-last quality in the heart of Brighton proper. 

With a slate roof & façade that honours the classic style, then modernised by sweeping arched windows, there is an irresistible curbside appeal for the home that offers instant privacy once through bespoke wrought iron entrance. Inside, there is a cohesive provincial treatment & reoccurring design elements throughout the wide and wonderful interiors which have been amplified to the maximum and sit beneath lofty 3-metre ceilings with the sole focus of achieving an unencumbered feeling of substance and scale. 

Optimised to ensure absolute function and enriched by engineered oak floors, the accommodation caters to families who seek space to entertain as well as privacy & tranquility and is introduced by a formal lounge (2nd AV room) then leads past the large study to the vast entertaining zone. Hosts will be captivated by the epicurean kitchen where a full suite of Bosch appliances provides multiple cooking options including those found in the fully-fitted butler’s pantry complete with second dishwasher, oven and gas cooktop. Waterfall stone on the island bench and reams of soft close cabinetry are a testament to the commitment to style and practicality.  

Carefully placed skylights maximise the natural light through this glorious zone which offers a gas fireplace for winter evenings - when the weather warms up there are massive glass stackers that retract to blur inside with a sheltered mod-deck overlooking a heated fully-tiled pool & spa. Out here, a pool-house with bathroom creates a peaceful home office space or guest accommodation, while the main house provides five ensuite bedrooms including one on entry level together with a lavish master domain with sensational dressing room and decadent spa bathroom. A grand stairwell gives access to an upstairs retreat, whilst down in the basement a fit-for-purpose theatre room will capture the imagination of children young & old. 

The gargantuan basement garage has space for up to 6 cars, room for storage and a wine room, while the incredible list of inclusions continues with an art room, expansive laundry and guests’ powder room plus oversized ducted heating/cooling units and a 7.32KW solar array. Secured by full camera CCTV and wrapped in landscaped gardens that have thoughtfully incorporated the site’s original Weeping Willow, this is a home that needs to be seen to be truly appreciated. 

An incredible home matched by an unbeatable location, there are Church Street’s dining options and boutique shopping within a walk, while the station, buses and stunning beaches plus some of Melbourne’s best schooling are all just a heartbeat away.
