9 Huntingfield Road
Brighton

Gracing a leafy corner block in one of Brighton’s most pre-eminent pocket, just moments to Church Street, this classic, character-filled four-bedroom-suite family home is rich in Art Deco grandeur and has been elegantly enhanced for grand-scale contemporary liveability with a split-level architectural extension incorporating rare garaging for five vehicles.

Set in front of neatly landscaped established gardens on an 839sqm* allotment, the home’s triple-fronted clinker brick façade with arched entry portico exudes old-world charm. Inside, soaring ceilings, intricate plasterwork, and display niches in the gallery-like central entry hallway endorse the home’s grand origins. There is a formal living room with wood fire place that flows to a formal dining, and a front bedroom with bay windows and garden outlooks that is adjacent to a fitted study and elegant bathroom. Introducing the contemporary section of the home is a light-filled and expansive open plan area, with gas log fire place, headed by a well-equipped stone kitchen with island bench, and a walk-in preparation pantry. Bi-folding glass doors open to the undercover bluestone-paved alfresco entertaining terrace which is edged by a fish pond water feature. Privately fully fenced and lushly landscaped, there is also an expansive rear lawn, a fire pit area, and access to the double remote-operated garage, which sits alongside the triple-remote-doored garage with internal access, providing five secure and private car parking spaces.

The impressively appointed and generously proportioned first floor extension comprises a retreat, and two spacious bedroom suites, both with built-in robes and shower ensuites, while the upper split level parental domain has a living room (or study or additional bedroom), and the main bedroom with a fitted built in robe and luxury ensuite with dual stone vanity and double walk-in shower.

Additional features include hydronic heating, reverse cycle heating/cooling, a powder room, a laundry with external access, quality carpets and blinds. In a quiet, leafy street, this prized Brighton location is perfect for families with Brighton Grammar, Firbank Grammar, St Joan of Arc Primary School and Brighton Beach Primary all in easy walking/riding distance. Also walk to Church Street shops, restaurants, café, cinema and Middle Brighton station, the Bay Trail and Brighton Beach with its world-famous beach boxes.
