Viewing by appointment. Metres from Brighton's beachfront, this elaborate and extraordinary estate on 3488 sqm (approx.) sprawls over what is by far the largest parcel in its vicinity, standing proudly as one of Bayside's most significant, stately residences. Exclusively positioned in one of Brighton's most prestigious streets, with a bluestone and wrought-iron fence lining its extensive 43m (approx.) frontage, a vivid array of mature trees and manicured gardens enliven an enthralling façade, revealing an interior rich in cultured calm and sophistication. Comfortably catering for any occasion, formal living and dining rooms complement a free-flowing family domain, tidily served by a fully-equipped kitchen with stone surfaces, upmarket Miele appliances, plentiful cabinetry, and a waterfall island bench. Offering open-air tranquility reminiscent of the finest rural retreats, vast and supremely private grounds encompass a range of serene settings, with a tennis court placed along a distant western boundary. A glistening pool enriches the home's entertaining prowess, with an adjoining verandah and backyard lounge affording relaxing room to soak in all-day sun. A picture of elegance and grandeur while emphasising endless practicality, a sweeping lower plan culminates in sumptuous main and guest suites, together serviced by walk-in robes, a private bathroom to each, and yard access to guest. With built-in robes to the remainder, a generous third bedroom doubles as a first-rate home office, while a trio of substantial, second-storey bedrooms are accompanied by two bathrooms and a broad, west-facing balcony. Featuring a horseshoe driveway, return verandah, soaring ceilings, and stunning detail throughout, highlights include a considerable teenager's retreat, full-size laundry with chute, ducted vacuum, downstairs powder room, water tanks, and a standalone double garage with workshop and added storage. The centrepiece of a prized streetscape with vibrant retail, restaurants, and cafés close by, it's an easy walk to the scenic Bay Trail and picturesque foreshore, while a matter of moments from peaceful parklands, city-bound trains, and Brighton's famed colleges.
