30 Whyte Street, Brighton, Vic 3186

Exotically styled, extravagantly finished and located exactly where you want to live, this four bedroom plus study, 2.5 bathroom town-residence offers a fabulous fusion of oriental influences and al fresco living behind a classically-styled facade. Opened up and styled out, this original Jon Friedrich design offers three free-flowing, limestone-floored living zones beyond Friedrich's signature soaring two-storey entry lobby.

Extending beyond a traditional dual living plan, there's a formal lounge with ornamental fireplace walled by rich red bamboo wallpaper plus an airy casual zone extending to a dining bay in a curve of windows facing a water-feature. Then, beyond three sets of tall french doors, a true indoor/outdoor zone offers space to lounge and dine in a café-blind enclosed space beneath a Vergola canopy. Above, a large and flexible home-office is ready to double as fifth bedroom, while a decadent master-suite has a beautifully fitted WIR and fully marble-tiled spa-ensuite.

Appointed to prestige standards with a granite and Blanco appliance kitchen, in-floor heating, air-conditioning, ducted vacuum, intercom, alarm and a double auto-garage, there's added luxury Boil and Chill taps, automatic door systems and surround-sound throughout.

This al fresco focused home even has an outdoor focus beyond its boundaries with Whyte St.'s Central Park within a few steps, Were St Village at the end of the street and Church St and the station within a walk.
