88 Durrant Street, Brighton

A green and graceful oasis with modernist sensibility and stirring scope to further renew, this quiet, comfortable, and endlessly charismatic residence offers an easy-care take on the exclusive Brighton lifestyle. Behind evergreen foliage and a soaring palm tree, the home’s raked-glass entrance is quick to captivate, joined by three lightwell gardens and northern feature windows in bringing sun and vitality inside. Low-maintenance by design, a clever layout sees sizeable front living and dining areas complement an open family/meals domain hidden away at rear. A broad alfresco is brilliant for barbecues and drinks on a summer evening, stepping out to a backyard with ample room for energetic young kids. More than capable of hosting a family, three bedrooms are served by extensive robe space, a main-room ensuite, and smart bathroom with a combined bath/shower, while other highlights include a storage-rich kitchen, reverse-cycle heating/cooling, durable floors, a full-size laundry, and secure double carport. A stellar opportunity to live in and slowly personalise, renovate for cultured luxury, or build again to capitalise on rear-lane frontage, it’s only footsteps to the culinary, afterhours, and shopping scenes Bay and Church Streets are famous for. City-bound trains, various parks, and prestigious Brighton and Firbank Grammar Schools are all within metres, with The Baths and Yacht Club, Bay Trail, and main swimming beach never far away.
