1/21 Were StreetBrighton

Beach-end, highset and streamlined, this is a blue-chip mid-century opportunity. Expertly renovated in line with expectations for this prized beachside address, this elevated three bedroom single-level townhouse stretches out on the streetfront with living and a private patio maximising views over manicured camellia-edged lawns …and bedrooms zoned in a quiet wing. Styled for today with an eye to modernist style, this modern classic stars a sleek all-white kitchen with elite Miele appliances and an up-to-the-minute bathroom with the same restrained style. Leaning into the light and lifestyle, there are cool stone benchtops, airy plantation shutters for most windows and polished Australian hardwood floors for living and traffic areas. Strikingly white with high 2.7m ceilings, wide windows and tall mirrored robes, this centrally heated and reverse-cycle air-conditioned home is set in lush garden surrounds, with a private rear courtyard providing secure car accommodation …and an opportunity for all-weather al fresco entertaining in well-designed open garaging. Less than a dozen doors to the beachfront, and 200m to the path to the beach and the iconic bathing boxes beyond, this mid-century marvel has the cafes and shopping of leafy Were St village within a several blocks’ walk, Church St within a minute and Brighton Beach station within a surprisingly easy and direct 300m stroll.
