Exceptional Family Living Metres from the Foreshore

$2,700,000 BUYERS MUST INSPECT

A spectacular home of distinctive beauty and period integrity, this significantly stylish family home shines in one of Brighton’s most requested locations. Set over two levels on a corner allotment so close to sand and sea, this is privileged Brighton living without a hint of compromise.

Wonderfully welcoming from street level, a verandah featuring tessellated tiling underfoot combines with an exquisite lead-lit door to deliver a grand entrance. Once inside, discover elegant formal lounge and dining rooms under towering decorative ceilings. Perfect for effortless entertaining, a bay window and open fireplace add substance and grandeur to both rooms.

There’s a genuine sense of occasion in the light-filled, shared family spaces with all rooms refined yet relaxed in nature. A sparkling, stone-topped Miele kitchen with entertainers’ island bench has everything at your fingertips, while an adjacent open-plan living and dining area has been designed to enhance circulation between indoors and out.

Seamlessly connecting with the privacy of the entire block, a sun-drenched, north-facing timber deck will immediately inspire thoughts of entertaining. Beyond the deck, bluestone-paving is framed by a delightfully private easy-care garden. Positively peaceful, this serene setting will be used on a daily basis with plenty of room for extensive lounge and dining settings.

Head upstairs via an original timber staircase under streaming light. Offering treetop vistas from all angles, enjoy 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on this level, combining style and spaciousness. The main bedroom boasts a wonderfully concealed, fully tiled ensuite and a large balcony with commanding neighbourhood views complemented by a delightfully delicate lead-light window.

Take advantage of a premier Brighton address and explore the dog-friendly beach, Middle Brighton Baths and the foreshore’s fitness trails at the end of the street, while enjoying easy access to the city’s finest schools, North Brighton station and Bay Street’s village life. Offering extensive entertaining spaces washed in northern light, a Bayside lifestyle does not get any better than this.
