High ceilings, period features and luxurious finishes come together in this elegantly refurbished 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom Victorian home. Located in one of Brighton's most prestigious areas, this home effortlessly blends lifestyle and location, with Brighton Grammar, the Church Street shopping precinct, and Brighton Baths all a short stroll from the front door.
Intuitively divided into sleeping, dining/entertaining and living zones using clever architecture and subtly descending levels, this is a refurbishment that has restored this period home to it's former glory without compromising on any of the modern creature comforts.
Making your away around the winding garden path and onto the decoratively tiled front landing, you are immediately struck by the wide, high ceilings of the entrance hallway from which each of the three main bedrooms come off. Huge master with elegant chandelier, tall windows and garden views, light-filled second and third bedroom with built-in-robes and unique, marble finished fireplaces in bedroom three and master. Meanwhile, the giant, tiled bathroom strikes an unlikely balance between indulgent size and peaceful ambience through frosted glass windows and it's own black marble fireplace and contrasting white marble basin.
A clever, double study alcove connects the sleeping zone to a Miele appointed open plan kitchen and dining area, which overlooks an intimate al fresco dining area with retractable roof, perfect for entertaining guests on a warm summer night.
Stepping down from the dining area to the living zone, the green, leafy aspect of the back garden is taken in through double doors, which open onto a second outdoor entertainment deck, also with retractable roof. Privacy and tranquillity prevail in the grassy back garden, courtesy of a large hedge that adorns the perimeter of the garden, and a large, cottage-style shed imbues the space with a cozy homeliness.
Adjoining the living zone, the guest/kid's wing features guest bedroom with garden views and built-in-robes, rumpus room with concealed laundry, and a second tiled bathroom. Also featuring heating and period features throughout, carport, automatic watering system and front gate, and Back to Base alarm system.
