113 Carpenter Street, Brighton

In a privileged position between the verve of Bay and Church Streets, this executive-calibre residence promotes calm and considered, easy-living luxury with unmatched credentials as a family entertainer. Emboldened by placement in Brighton’s beloved, leafy heart, a sleek, modern façade reveals an interior emphasising family functionality, cleverly distinguishing accommodation from hospitality. Highlighting the home’s impressive dimensions, three considerable, ground-floor bedrooms are together served by a master ensuite and luxe main bathroom with soaker tub, with primary and guest rooms both stepping into outdoor settings sublime for unwinding among greenery. Enlivened by skylights and a soaring, vaulted ceiling, a magnificent upper level is a haven for the regular host, with sizeable lounge and dining zones neighbouring a stone-top kitchen with first-class Miele fit-out. With a broad family room offering welcomed living separation, eastern and western balconies are brilliant for sunrise coffees and drinks taking in sunset hues, while a substantial entertainer’s yard with barbecue alfresco comfortably caters for large gatherings. With a double garage making clever use of rear laneway frontage, a self-contained retreat with kitchenette, bathroom, and bedroom/living area serves superbly as a visitor’s suite, professional’s base, teenager’s escape, or extension of the yard when guests arrive, while other highlights include zoned ducted and split-system heating/cooling, timber floors, abundant storage, a study nook, upstairs powder room (fourth WC), full-size laundry, alarm, intercom, 10000l water tank, and zoning for acclaimed Brighton Primary and Secondary College. Central to the best of Brighton, it’s just steps to Brighton and Firbank Grammar Schools, city-bound trains, grocers and major supermarkets, boutique retail, outstanding coffee, renowned restaurants, lively bars, and pristine parks, while moments to golf courses, vibrant Martin Street, and the trail, yacht club, baths, and stretches of sand lining the foreshore.
