Unique Designer Style in Prized Locale

A brilliant reimagining of this landmark Brighton address has resulted in a contemporary residence that offers luxe family living and entertaining within generously proportioned light-filled indoor and outdoor spaces, and unique versatility with the option of an income-generating boutique shop-front, home office space, second living space or fourth bedroom.

The custom-designed transformation makes the most of the north-facing aspect with seamless indoor/ outdoor living from the main open-plan area, which flows to a covered alfresco dining deck and lawn area, privately cocooned in verdant borders featuring passionfruit vines, jasmine, lemon, and lime trees. The lush garden theme is continued indoors with a cleverly positioned vine-covered light-court, with glass-sliding-door access. Glamorous style accents hark back to the home’s early 20th century heritage, including chequerboard-tiled flooring which flows through the entry level topped by 3.2-metre-high ceilings, while sleek custom matte black joinery, Brazilian quartzite

‘Avocado’ stone bench tops, and a bespoke 600-bottle, temperature and humidity-controlled wine display cabinet, endorse the bold contemporary design statement. A Moroccan ‘tadelakt’ plaster wall complements the minimalist aesthetic of the kitchen, further enhanced by a Miele induction cooktop with internal extraction fan, integrated dual fridge/freezer, and hidden butler’s pantry/laundry with heated drying rails. An arched hallway draws you to the ornate carved staircase, where there is an under-stair powder room plus storage, and the internal entrance to the unique ‘shop front’ space, with its own entrance, kitchenette, and powder room.

Upstairs are three bedrooms, including an epic master suite with bespoke electric fireplace, huge walk-in robe/dressing room, and luxe ensuite with underfloor heating. A further two bedrooms have built-in robes and the show-stopping main bathroom features floor to ceiling Italian grès porcelain tiling. Includes split system heating/cooling (five units), pure wool carpets, linen sheer curtains, designer lighting, plenty of storage options, alarm and video security entry and single remote auto garage.

Gracing a landmark Brighton corner, with dual entrances on Durrant and Hampton Streets, this outstanding residence is located just a short walk to Brighton Primary School, the William Street Reserve, Bay Street and North Brighton station. Golden Mile beaches and Church Street are also in walking/cycling distance, as is Firbank and Brighton grammar schools.
