Architect Renovated c.1896 Victorian Beauty

An exquisite c.1896 Victorian transformed for today with an award-winning renovation by Catt Architects in north-facing gardens by Jack Merlo, this grand tuck-pointed brick residence maximises a magnificent approx 1050sqm/11,500sqft corner allotment with a rare blend of period beauty and architectural innovation.

Awarded Best Heritage Renovation at the 2012 Bayside Building Awards, this grandly proportioned four bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home opens up beyond a luminous stained-glass entry into a lofty high-ceilinged hallway to offer an impressive library-home-office (or fourth bedroom), before stepping back to fine formal lounge and dining rooms.

Moving beyond a gracious master-suite (with a fitted dressing-room and a luxe ensuite with stone-encased bath, dual vanity and walk-in shower), the home flows past gracious robe-fitted secondary bedrooms off a delightful playroom or study featuring a soaring skylit vaulted ceiling.

Stepping down at the rear, the home transforms into a cutting-edge contemporary space with a glass-walled family zone encompassing a bespoke Miele and Callacatta marble kitchen (with induction cooktop and two convection ovens), an adjacent butler's pantry, fitted laundry with drying cupboard and a 2m x 2m cellar. Beyond this breath-taking space, double-glazed glass walls slide away to a covered al fresco areas area with in-built barbecue and an integrated sound system ...all set beside a glass-fenced fully-tiled auto-clean solar-heated pool. Oriented to maximise north sun, mature landscaped gardens are secured by auto-gates with an oversize double garage and a 20,000L underground tank.

With a ducted reverse-cycle, hydronic and in-floor heating systems, elaborate fireplaces (some marble) for the formal rooms, a gas fire on an elevated bluestone hearth for the family zone, an alarm, security intercom and Bose surround-sound. Setting the standard for contemporary living and Victorian grandeur, this highly-awarded home has the air of a country retreat in the heart of Brighton - well within reach of the bay and Brighton and Hampton's shopping strips, public transport and schools.
