Edwardian Elegance Reveals Contemporary Family Flair

An outstanding and tightly held opportunity offering an unbeatable Brighton lifestyle, this free-flowing 4 bedroom Edwardian family home irresistibly combines the contemporary comforts of open-plan living and dining with instantly inviting formal and outdoor spaces.

Upon elegant verandah entry, discover formal dining and lounge rooms, substantial in size and making good use of period detail with Sydney Blue Gum underfoot. A home office is nestled beside these rooms, large enough to accommodate a team.

From here the home reveals itself in a significant fashion. The generous use of glass emphasis's the breadth of space, offering a glorious direct line of sight over the pool to the rear of the block. A wonderfully sunlit and versatile space currently being used as a piano alcove could work equally well as light and bright sitting room. A welcoming and remarkably roomy open-plan living and dining area sits alongside a gleaming granite-topped kitchen showcasing high-end Smeg and Miele appliances.

Step outside and make every social event an occasion with a sheltered al fresco terrace, designer swimming pool and a relaxing spa at your disposal. Perfectly proportioned, this space will be used on a daily basis as a private sanctuary or the ideal spot to entertain family and friends on any chosen scale.

Head upstairs on a grand staircase and discover a landing that could work well as a teen retreat or reading room. Above the staircase, rows of automatic windows strategically invite natural light and air into the home. Offering commanding treetop vistas from all vantage points, a delightfully angular balcony and four bedrooms are staged on this level, serviced by a luxe family bathroom. The main bedroom boasts a large dressing room and a striking ensuite with a relaxing bathtub, oversized shower and a twin vanity.

In a house alive with style and personality, comprehensive features include a remote-controlled 2-car garage with internal access, ground-floor bathroom/powder room, convenient study nook, granite-topped wet bar, storeroom and workshop, extensive heating and cooling throughout, alarm system, solar panelling, and easy-care gardens with a number of Magnolia, Myrtle and Gingko trees providing shade.

 The home offers the full complement of period features including ornate open fireplaces, decorative cornices, elaborate leadlight windows, soaring ceilings, tessellated tiling on an elegant verandah, and intricate ceiling craftsmanship. From vision to completion, every dazzling detail has been carefully contemplated and lovingly crafted. Everything about this home feels just right.

This is quite simply Brighton’s most convenient address. Take a leisurely stroll to Martin Street’s boutique shopping and cafes, Elsternwick Park, Star of the Sea and other leading schools, Gardenvale train station, and a beach at the end of the street. Enjoy privileged Bayside living without compromise and inspect today!
