The flawless renovation of this contemporary Californian has created a forever-home of first-class style and amenity. Private and prestigious, in a location sought by families for its close proximity to Brighton’s popular beachfront, leading schools, public transport and renowned shopping/dining precincts, ‘Creswell’ delivers bayside living at its finest.

Designed by architect Peter Pontifex under the watchful eye of meticulous owners, a luxurious transformation showcases rare elegance and grace in a beautifully modern context. Landscaped gardens provide a leafy backdrop to sundrenched entertaining, while formal, casual and kids’ zones create an abundance of space for every family member.

Impeccably presented beyond its restored 1920s facade, oak herringbone sweeps through an extra-wide hallway. Bespoke lighting illuminates exceptionally proportioned areas with a soaring, ground level master suite one of countless highlights. An upholstered window seat offers a sunlit nook, the walk-in robe is custom fitted and the dual vanity en suite (double shower, heated towel rail) is lit by recessed LED strips and a towering skylight.

Expansive formal lounge (open fireplace) and dining (gas log fire) rooms strike a sublime balance between original features and designer details. High strapped ceilings and wall paneling compliment statement lighting and extensive glazing to achieve a spectacular living and entertaining environment. The generous family domain (gas log fire) is just as impressive, opening to a cantilever al fresco area (open fireplace and BBQ kitchen) and wonderfully private, heated pool/spa (self-cleaning with gas/solar heating).

Mirrored splashbacks, rose gold pendants and stone benches elevate a dream kitchen with style and sophistication. Custom designed to entertain with premium Miele appliances (5-burner gas cooktop, convection oven, speed oven, warming drawer, coffee machine and dishwasher), island bar and full-size Butler’s pantry (second dishwasher). A concealed study space, stone-finished laundry (outdoor access) and endless storage ensure everything is seamless and out-of-sight.

Brilliantly zoned with the upper level boasting a spacious children’s lounge/rumpus accompanied by 3 further bedrooms (built-in storage), one with a walk-in robe, and a designer family bathroom (freestanding bath). Stone vanity guest powder room downstairs.

Centrally heated with gas ducted heating (downstairs) with split system upstairs, reverse cycle a/c in the family room, kitchen & informal dining, plantation shutters, alarm, video intercom, lighting throughout the landscaping as well as automated garden watering system and auto-gated driveway parking. In close walking distance to the South Road’s swimming beach, Were Street Village, Haileybury, St Leonard’s, Brighton Beach Primary and Brighton Beach station.
