Architecturally reimagined without compromise, this striking five-bedroom residence in one of Brighton’s most prestigious tree-lined avenues has been masterfully transformed into a serene and sophisticated family sanctuary. A celebration of space, light, and refined craftsmanship, the home captivates with soaring proportions, a flawless contemporary fit-out, and carefully considered high-end finishes. Honouring its original grandeur and enviable northerly rear aspect, standout features include a dramatic double-height entry void, a sunken main living area framed by floor-to-ceiling glass and soaring 6.3-metre ceilings, and a domed ceiling atop the glazed mezzanine in the private primary suite.
The recent architectural renovation introduces elegant custom joinery throughout, creating a cohesive visual narrative that flows across each space. Exquisite natural stone benchtops, resurfaced hardwood floors, and pure wool carpets form part of a calming, nature-inspired interior palette. The reconfigured floorplan has been meticulously designed for both family functionality and effortless entertaining, anchored by a statement limestone kitchen equipped for gourmet cooking, complete with an integrated French-door fridge and freezer. Expansive glass sliders connect the main living zone seamlessly with the outdoors, opening onto a private sandstone terrace surrounded by lush greenery and centred around a fully tiled, custom-designed swimming pool and spa.
The ground level also accommodates two well-appointed bedrooms, a fully tiled bathroom featuring a wet-room style shower, and a versatile second living room or home cinema with direct access from the double garage. A study nook beneath the stairs, along with a luxurious powder room, further enhances the functionality of the space. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a true retreat, with treetop and church spire views from a private balcony, a light-filled domed sitting area, a full wall of bespoke robes, and a sumptuous ensuite appointed with hand-cut tiles, a twin stone vanity, a walk-in wet room, a freestanding tub, and dual rain showers. Two additional bedrooms, one with serene church spire views, are positioned on the upper level, along with an elegantly tiled bathroom and a convenient kitchenette or coffee station.
This remarkable home is further enhanced by a suite of premium features including zoned gas ducted heating and refrigerated cooling to all bedrooms, a gas log fire, designer lighting including LED stair illumination and Illume skylights, underfloor heating in the main bathroom and ensuite, a CCTV security system, keyless entry, extensive storage solutions, and an automated irrigation system for the landscaped gardens. Set on an approximately 700 square metre allotment and surrounded by some of Brighton’s most distinguished homes, this coveted address is within walking distance to both Bay Street and Church Street, and close to elite schools including Firbank Grammar and Brighton Grammar, offering an exceptional lifestyle in one of Melbourne’s most desirable locations.
