5 Vaucluse Street
Brighton

Prestigiously located in a tightly-held Brighton cul-de-sac, just one block from Bay Street, this architecturally renovated five-bedroom, three-bathroom family home is rich in Edwardian-era charm and offers an adaptable layout to suit any contemporary family’s living, working, and entertaining prerequisites with three living areas, two study spaces, and a north-facing rear alfresco zone.

Set behind an automated driveway gate, with a carport and off-street parking for two, the double-storey weatherboard home on a 555sqm* block, is surrounded by elegantly landscaped gardens, including a fully-fenced lawned back yard. The Edwardian characteristics include timber fretwork, leadlight windows, and ornate plasterwork while the expansive dimensions are capped with soaring ceilings above polished jarrah floors. The light-filled open plan zone, with a wood fire heater and French door access to the alfresco entertaining deck, is headed by a gourmet stone entertainer’s kitchen with Miele appliances including an induction cooktop, steamer, convection and warming ovens, an integrated dishwasher, and a Fisher & Paykel integrated fridge/freezer.

Zoned on the ground level, the principal bedroom suite combines classic period elegance and contemporary functionality with a large fitted walk-in robe, and ensuite with walk-in shower and double vanities. Completing the ground-floor layout are another two bedrooms, one with flow-through access to an ensuite bathroom, laundry, and a home-office.

Upstairs, is a light-filled living area, with a built-in study nook, and two bedrooms with built-in robes, a bathroom with built-in tub and walk-in shower, and a separate powder room. Additional features include gas ducted heating, split system cooling and central cooling (upstairs), a monitored security alarm and an under-stair storage cellar.

This enviable blue-chip Brighton address is a short walk to Bay Street’s shops, cafes, and train station, and is an easy stroll to the beach, Brighton Grammar and Firbank Grammar.
