Taken to a spectacular new level of family perfection, this enchanting Edwardian will take your breath away with its light-filled dimensions and bespoke style. Impeccably transformed, with architectural flair, into a poolside sanctuary residing at the end of a prized Brighton cul de sac just one block from Martin Street.

Captivating from the outset, a tuck-pointed brick facade and gorgeous veranda introduce Beatrix Rowe interiors enhanced by period details and the latest finishes. The original quarters play host to three character filled bedrooms with ample room to play, study and relax. Each is fitted with built-in robes, two feature tiled fireplaces and one even boasts a hide-away loft. A family bath and powder room flaunting stunning terrazzo surfaces completes this zone.

The formal lounge (open fireplace) introduces custom joinery that is not only practical but also aesthetically beautiful, a theme that is carried throughout the home. Seamlessly transitioning from original elegance to contemporary ‘wow’, a glassed link-way also illuminates the custom-built kitchen and dining domain. Ahead of the curve, leather banquette seating embraces a double-bullnose quartzite and Porta timber island anchoring this vast space with peerless craftsmanship.

Expanses of heated terrazzo flow from inside to out creating an entertainer’s haven with an integrated, al fresco area. Bosch appliances, Liebherr fridge/freezer and endless storage solutions complement an outdoor kitchen providing options for every occasion. North-facing and landscaped to be low maintenance, the sun-soaked rear features a retractable shade awning, mosaic tiled heated pool/spa and paved area for parking or play (auto-gated with lane access).

The ultra-modern extension is crowned by a blissfully private master retreat with his & hers full-height robes and terrazzo en suite flaunting a twin faucet basin and under-tile heating. Walls of tinted glass frame tree-top vistas and Rylock windows capture the sea breeze. This level also features an invaluable third living zone, kids’ rumpus or huge home office.

All facets of this impressive home are testament to meticulous owners’ attention to detail such as two custom-fitted study spaces, large laundry (floor to ceiling cabinetry, hampers and drying cupboard) and pool access bathroom. Broad-board oak flooring sweeps down a wide central hall, while exposed red brick and Corten steel cladding further enhance the visual appeal.

Hydronic heating throughout and ducted air conditioning in the new section plus underfloor heating (living, al fresco area and bathrooms) and gas open fireplace (living). Alarmed with app operated surveillance security (5-cameras), keypad pedestrian gate and store-room, and driveway parking. Situated in a premium North Brighton pocket sought by families for its easy access to vibrant village shops, eateries and bars as well as Gardenvale station, North Brighton Kindergarten, Elsternwick Primary, Star of the Sea, Elsternwick Park and the beach.
