9 Griffin Street
Brighton East

The biggest surprise package in the school precinct comes with impeccably groomed gardens, an elite architect design and absolute peace and privacy. The home (and former workplace) of two very private design professionals, this four bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home takes bespoke living to a new level with a spectacular architect design from Charles Curry-Hyde

Offering an innovative twist on a traditional dual zone floorplan with French-doored formal lounge and dining rooms and split-level family living wrapping a pergola-shaded al fresco area (with woodfire oven and BBQ facilities), this unique home floats a balconied master-level beyond a central stairway.... and offers an alternative ground-floor master domain with retreat - easily reconfigured as a separate-entry studio and workspace.

Custom-detailed with a state-of-the-art Bosch kitchen, double-shower ensuite and luxe main bathroom, this beautifully crafted home is finished with cool granite benchtops, warm jarrah floors, hand-wrought ironwork and fine joinery (from practical loft-storage and a master dressing-area, to whimsical window-shelving). A rare solid-brick contemporary home with even rarer first-floor suspended-slab construction, the home is appointed to the highest standard with an alarm, hydronic heating and multiple air-conditioners and open wood fireplaces.

High-hedged and garden-walled in approx 793sqm creatively landscaped surrounds, the home is in a world of its own with a gas-heated endless swim-spa, four car parking including double auto-garage (with workshop) and an eye-catching first-floor outlook - between the hedges and over the tennis courts of St Leonard's to the playing fields of Haileybury. Secluded in a no-traffic cul-de-sac in the heart of the South Rd schools precinct, this is lifestyle design in the location of a lifetime.
