Radiating the elegance and stature ingrained in its French Provincial style, this central Brighton masterpiece channels outstanding space, upscale appointments, and flawless finishes to promise cultured luxe for the most discerning.

Beyond lush gardens and a commanding façade, lavish interiors weave effortless splendour into every-day life, designed to make clever use of light and space. Dark oak floors contrast white walls and ceilings for an impression to last, with a wide, inviting hallway introducing a quiet front lounge, studio/reader’s retreat, dedicated office, and sunlit void filled by an oversized staircase en route to a magnificent main section. Open on its northern side to soak in streams of all-day sun, a vast family/dining space merges with a full-width alfresco brilliant for large gatherings, while a backyard cabana with a bathroom, robe, and living area proves the perfect accompaniment to a completely private pool and spa. The most passionate of cooks can comfortably hone their craft in a skylit, stone-top kitchen, with a waterfall island centre-stage among a 900mm oven and induction cooktop, two auxiliary ovens, and a butler’s pantry with twin basins, a gas stove, and additional oven.

With ample accommodation for the largest of families, a ground-floor guest room features a walk-in robe and ensuite, while above, a sumptuous master bedroom enjoys its own dressing room, window-side sitting space, and luxurious ensuite with dual basins and a spa bath. Walk-in robes, ensuites, and an extra powder room service bedrooms three, four, and five, while a long list of other highlights includes internal and external cameras, an upstairs retreat for added versatility, scenic front balcony, 7.32kW solar energy, pool and spa heating, home heating and cooling, an entrance mudroom, living-room gas fire, ground-level powder room, video intercom, alarm, and six-car basement with a cinema room.

Embracing the lifestyle only Brighton can offer, it’s no more than footsteps to Church Street’s renowned retail, cuisine, and nightlife, acclaimed St Joan of Arc and Brighton Beach Primary Schools, and the foreshore famous for its bathing boxes and golden sands, while the buzz of Hampton and Bay Streets, city trains, elite private schools, and Sandbelt golf courses sit nearby.
