3/3 Orchard Street, Brighton

Sold by Matthew Pillios, Director Kay & Burton In Melbourne’s pre-eminent beach enclave, this tastefully rejuvenated, family-sized classic pairs leafy calm with cultured chic to be the perfect low-maintenance entry to prestigious North Brighton. With its hit-and-miss brickwork, carefully curated flora, and inviting façade leaving a lasting impression, a tiered verandah is sublime for a morning coffee listening to the birds, introducing an interior where pale tones and splashes of colour foster class and distinction. Three substantial bedrooms are accompanied by excellent storage, a luxe main bathroom with a Elba white marble vanity top, double shower, and mosaic feature tiles, and extra bathroom with a separate shower and second WC. Living and dining areas highlight the home’s impressive proportion, adjoining a kitchen certain to excite the passionate cook with range-topping electric steamer by Wolf, Fisher & Paykel dishwasher, and 900mm cooker. Tall hedges and vibrant flowers bring privacy and serenity to an entertainer’s dream-backyard, just as brilliant for a barbecue under blue skies as it is cocktails on a summer’s evening. Easy-care comfort is augmented by reverse-cycle heating and cooling, camera security, timber floors, touchpad entry, an outdoor shower, full-size laundry, garage, and electric-gated driveway parking, with the abode perfectly placed for indulging in the best of Brighton. The brunch spots, celebrated cuisine, thriving nightlife, and extensive retail of Bay, Church, and Martin Streets are never more than a short stroll away, as are revered Brighton/Firbank Grammar and Star of the Sea College, Kamesburgh Gardens, trains for quick city access, and the picture-perfect Golden Mile foreshore.
