Presented on a scale sought by families, this considerable 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom, edge of Bay Street beauty will accommodate your every requirement with grace, space and a sparkling pool. Tucked away on the western-side of a low-traffic cul de sac yet only footsteps to fashionable restaurants, shops, the station and cinema, this premium locale guarantees an enviable lifestyle. North-westerly light floods an expansive family domain, while a spacious, bay-windowed lounge and formal dining room are graced with elegant period details. The stone-finished kitchen services intimate gatherings or grand scale entertaining with ease, alongside a study niche or butler’s style pantry, large laundry and powder room. Tall bi-folds extend this already generous space out to a sun-splashed al fresco deck (shade awning), BBQ area and pool/spa in a grassy rear yard ideal for kids play and pets. A picture-perfect, ground floor bedroom boasting a gorgeous garden-view en suite, opens to a broad front porch providing the option of a guest suite, teen quarters or separate-entry home office. The upper level hosts a vast master retreat with frameless glass highlighting treetop vistas, volumes of built-in storage and a deluxe, dual vanity en suite. Three more carpeted bedrooms (built-in robes) and another stone vanity bathroom completes upstairs. The original Californian Bungalow has been superbly enhanced with architectural features including extensive glazing to bring the outside in with maximum impact. Tuck-pointed with leadlight windows, high strapped ceilings, 3 x open fireplaces and timber detailing as well as modern comforts such as hydronic heating throughout and reverse cycle cooling (family and upstairs). Carport parking in close proximity to the new Coles, Brighton Primary, Brighton Grammar, Firbank, parkland and Brighton’s popular beachfront. In Conjunction with James Buy Sell.
