In a premier North Brighton location close to the beach, parkland and cafes, this flawless, 4-bedroom residence’s period elegance has been enriched with luminous, contemporary style. Architecturally enhanced to live and entertain by a sundrenched pool in a private garden oasis, the exceptional home is family focused and offers endless lifestyle rewards.

A tessellated tiled, return veranda embraces the circa 1918 home’s traditional tuck-pointed facade, while mature landscaping provides abundant outdoor spaces to park, play and soak up the surroundings. Designer interiors are impeccably presented and zoned to perfection, while also imbuing a seamless fusion of old and new with an inviting ambience throughout.

Broad Spotted Gum floors with a chic matt-finish flow through the soaring hallway to a formal lounge warmed by a sleek gas log fire and the westerly sun as it streams through a box bay window. Atrium-style internal courtyards light the way to a spectacular family domain alongside an ultra-stylish kitchen featuring top of the range V-Zug appliances, Corian benches with a custom dining extension and separate butler’s pantry.

Dine beneath a Moooi sphere pendant in the fire-warmed rear during the cooler months or throw open huge glass sliders to an al fresco deck by an Italian tiled solar heated pool basking in the afternoon sunshine. Slabs of Dolido premium marble and stainless steel work surfaces extend the internal induction cooktop out to a built-in chef’s BBQ, while corner servery windows complete the exceptional integration of this highly functional entertaining space.

Residing peacefully in the original quarters, the exquisite main suite is detailed with Venetian plaster, decorative marble fireplace and leadlight windows. Full-height walk-thru robes open to a luxe en suite with underfloor heating flaunting twin rain-head showers and freestanding bath looking out to a bamboo atrium. Three more bedrooms and a sky-lit bathroom can be zoned off by smartly hidden cavity doors. A laundry with drying terrace and opulent powder room complete the accommodation.

On 768 sqm (approx), this is a home for all seasons with a meticulous eye for style and extensive storage featuring an organic beeswax finish to its towering walls and other bespoke details. Hydronic heating, 4-zone reverse cycle air conditioning, in-built speakers, automatic blinds, app-operated video security and alarm system. Water tanks under the long driveway for an automated watering system plus remote access parking and carport.

Wonderfully situated for families with local cafes, the new Gum Tree gourmet supermarket, Star of the Sea, Elsternwick Primary, Elsternwick Park and Martin Street village with its station, restaurants and shops so close by. Also within easy reach of the area’s other leading schools, lifestyle precincts and Brighton’s sparkling beachfront.
