Perfectly positioned just meters from Middle Brighton Beach and only steps from Church Street, this magnificent family estate offers the ultimate in refined resort-style living and exceptional entertaining. Encompassing over half an acre (2,079sqm approx.), the property boasts a wealth of five-star amenities, including a recently updated New York Loft-style gourmet kitchen, a fully-equipped indoor/outdoor bar, a heated swimming pool and spa, and a north-south mod grass tennis court.
Private and secure, set behind high walls and automated gates, this breathtaking Glenvill custom-built home features five bedrooms and five bathrooms, with architectural brilliance and luxury appointments at every turn. Spanning an impressive 735sqm approx., the interiors are a visual delight, highlighted by honed marble, polished timber, and plush wool carpets. Towering ceilings, architectural voids, neoclassical columns, and a grand staircase all contribute to the home’s exceptional sense of scale and elegance, while natural light pours into every room.
The expansive grounds, surrounded by meticulously designed gardens and mature trees, provide a peaceful and private oasis. The outdoor living areas are exceptional, featuring a flood-lit tennis court, resort-sized heated pool and spa, lush lawns, and a covered alfresco terrace with built-in BBQ, sound system, and lighting. An open pergola-covered lounge area adds to the charm, perfect for relaxed outdoor living.
Inside, the layout includes formal living areas and a guest suite complete with a marble bathroom and powder room, all positioned at the front of the home. The rear of the home unfolds into a spacious family living area, with a showstopping kitchen at its heart. Outfitted with solid American Oak cabinetry, Brazilian Quartzite curved benchtops, Gaggenau cooking appliances, an integrated Miele dishwasher and fridge/freezer, and a butler’s pantry, the kitchen is a chef’s dream. Sunlight floods through floor-to-ceiling bay windows that overlook the vast grounds, while stairs lead down to a living room, rumpus room, gym, shower/bathroom, and a commercial-grade bar, complete with beer taps and servery windows that open to the alfresco space.
Upstairs, the master suite occupies the entire north-facing wing and offers spectacular views through its floor-to-ceiling bay windows. With two walk-in robes, a dressing room, and an indulgent marble bathroom with a spa bath, this is a true sanctuary. Three additional bedroom suites and two luxurious marble bathrooms complete the upper level, along with a linen/storage room and a large front-facing balcony.
The basement is equally impressive, with a newly surfaced five-car garage, workshop, utility/storage rooms, and a 1,000-bottle wine cellar. Additional features include a lift (servicing all levels), intercom system, zoned security, ducted heating and cooling, split systems, gas log fireplaces, irrigation system, LED lighting, and a 60,000-litre underground water tank. A diesel-powered generator provides back-up power in case of an outage.
