Reimagining Edwardian grace with cutting-edge contemporary design, this award-winning architectural transformation celebrates the home’s historic origins and blue-chip location while presenting the utmost in contemporary indoor/outdoor family liveability.

Set behind automated gates, a marigold-yellow front door hints at the designer flair to be found within. Newly resurfaced engineered oak floorboards sweep through the expansive open-plan interiors that stretch toward the alfresco entertaining zone and Dave Franklin-designed rear garden that features a fully tiled and auto-cleaning heated pool/spa, a built-in resort-style day bed, and curved built-in alfresco deck seating. Floor-to-ceiling glass sliding stacker doors offer a seamless connection to the oasis-like outdoors and perfectly frame the heavenly view of the St. Cuthbert’s church spire. A west-facing side courtyard is perfect for morning coffees and draws even more light into the living/dining space, which has a gas log fire. A three-metre-long stone island bench/breakfast bar defines the kitchen which is equipped with high-end Miele appliances including steam/combi and pyrolytic ovens, an induction cooktop and a dishwasher, while a large butler’s pantry has plenty of storage and prep space, including a Zip tap.

Light-filled and spacious, with newly laid loop pile carpets, the ground-floor master bedroom is complemented by a fitted walk-in robe/dressing room, plus a lavish ensuite with garden outlooks, a stone free-standing bath and a walk-in shower. Zoned for family functionality, the newly carpeted upper level comprises a second living area, three fitted bedrooms, including one with a walk-in robe and shower ensuite, and another rear-facing with fabulous garden and church spire views, plus the luxe main bathroom.

Additional features include a fitted study, an exotically wall-papered powder room, a laundry with external access, a built-in storage shed, hydronic heating, integrated split systems, security alarm and cameras, automated watering system, garden lighting and a remote-operated garage plus secure off-street parking.

This tranquil, leafy street is situated in the esteemed Brighton Town Hall arts precinct, where it’s an easy walk to Bay Street, Church Street, stations, beaches, and close to Firbank Grammar and Brighton Grammar.
