372 St Kilda Street, Brighton, Vic 3186

Less than 500 metres from the Golden Mile beachfront, Capakee c.1925 combines exquisite period detail with architectural excellence. Opening up beyond auto-gated parking with a traditional three bedroom floorplan featuring a grand bay-windowed formal lounge, this solid-brick home steps into modern living with an indoor-outdoor casual zone reflected in the mirror-splashbacks of the sleek CaesarStone, Smeg and Miele kitchen. Combining the grace of another era (including soaring 12' pressed metal and timber-panelled ceilings) with the accoutrements of today (including ducted heating and cooling, video intercom, alarm and dual-zone-sound), this cutting-edge period beauty has glossy baltic-pine floors meeting the slick tiles of a frameless-screened designer bathroom, leadlight windows mixed with double-glazing and streamlined cabinetry beside elaborate period fireplaces. Set in an architect-designed landscaped and lit gardens, between Brighton's schools and cafe-society and Elwood's parks and bijou bar-culture, this is a cutting-edge renovation on the edge of the Golden Mile.
