TOP 5 Brighton Homes (No.5)

Brighton Beach for a backyard...
General Features
PRICE RANGE: $5.25 Million

• Property Type: House
• Bedrooms: 3
• Bathrooms: 3
• Building Size: 404.96 m² (44 squares) approx

Indoor Features

• Living Areas: 3

Outdoor Features

• Garage Spaces: 4

Although an apartment, it still renders over $5 Million
because it's on the beach.
The view of the house (below) is from the beach, not the road.

It comes with a lift, which takes you to the basement
where you have four car parks of your own.

I find living areas with all white (marble) floor tiles are stunning
to walk through, but I didn't want them in our home with young kids!

I'm not sure what those timber walls are, perhaps wardrobes,

that would be gorgeous if it was!

And there it is in all it's glory, your backyard,
Brighton Beach.

But why swim in the smelly beach, if you can
swim in your own pool overlooking the smelly beach!
Not a bad way to impress ya mates!

AND here's what the Agent said!

Bayside luxurious penthouse w/ breathtaking sea & city skyline views
Live like a king and lap up the luxury in this glamorous waterfront elevated apartment by acclaimed SJB Architects with uninterrupted views across the foreshore and glistening bay with the city skyline and Westgate Bridge forming a dramatic backdrop.

The best of the best, the ultimate in indulgence…this is more than a home it’s a lifestyle experience that’s designed to spoil and pamper. Designer detail from top-to-toe creates a polished penthouse style with sublime garden surrounds by award-winning Jack Merlo and endless Travertine flooring flowing from indoors to out.

One of only a handful of Brighton homes to enjoy absolute foreshore frontage, the view takes centre stage from the sophisticated open plan living and dining wing which spills to a wrap-around terrace with elevated sea-viewing spa. The knock-out kitchen is a work of art with its Calcutta marble island bench, the very best appliances by Gaggenau and a Liebherr glass fronted wine fridge. A cinema room adds to the spoilt lifestyle.

Three bedrooms, all with luxury marble ensuites, the main with marble encased bath, continue the indulgence.

Impeccable inclusions include an internal lift, 4 car basement parking, heating, cooling, back-to-base monitored alarm, keycard and remote entry, video security, automatic window blinds, gas pebble fireplace, wired for TV, FOXTEL/audio and sound system, soft touch light switches, internal store room, luxury powder room and more.

This home is not the huge, grand, typical house
in Brighton, much more homely, I really liked it.
Better price tag too!!!

Often the case, beautiful homes hidden behind large hedges and fences so you can't always appreciate a lot of them from the street anymore.

I love the use of colour in this home.

Extensions make for old & new blending...

Lovely bedroom, has a very personal feel to it.

I think this rear yard is delightful, very inviting.

Here's the Master Plan!

AND here's what the Agent said about it!

ENTERTAINMENT AND GRANDEUR
Stunning newly constructed French Provincial inspired Mt Gambier limestone residence on an impressive 785m2 approx, represents the epitome of contemporary luxury with executive entertaining facilities for all seasons from a stylish pool to a Golf putting green, pool house with kitchen, sauna and spa, and a cinema room.

A showpiece of European luxury signature finishes from Versace inspired doors to parquetry flooring and a majestic spiral wrought iron staircase highlight the opulent yet supremely functional interior of almost 80sqs, approx.

Sophisticated reception rooms are complemented by a light-filled family living and dining wing with a warming Jetmaster gas fireplace and two sets of cafe doors to a sandstone paved alfresco entertaining terrace overlooking the frameless glass-fenced salt water solar heated pool with a cascading water feature and underwater lighting. The pool house continues the entertaining theme with a 10 seater heated spa, sauna, granite kitchen and bathroom.

Overlooking the pool is a magnificent French Provincial style kitchen that has been fitted to perfection with granite work surfaces, custom built cabinetry, outdoor serving window, European stainless steel self cleaning Pyrolitic oven, 5 burner gas cooktop, a convection oven with grill and microwave, integrated dishwasher and a massive butler's kitchen with matching cabinetry and granite finishes and wine storage for 80 bottles.

A state-of-the-art cinema incorporates a high definition Panasonic projector and surround sound wiring, while an adjoining games room features double doors through to the 6 car basement garage.

Upstairs, four bedrooms open to a central rumpus room with study facilities. The palatial principal bedroom includes a European ensuite with a double shower, granite encased spa and a dressing room, a second bedroom features an equally luxurious ensuite and all bedrooms feature extensive walk-in robes. A family bathroom with spa is complemented by a fourth bathroom on the ground-floor adjoining a fifth bedroom.

Established low maintenance gardens, 3 zone central heating and refrigerated cooling, ducted vacuum, extensive storage, a dumb waiter, a high tech security system with continuous recorded monitoring and a convenient yet secluded setting close to Bay St shopping and leading schools are just some of the inclusions that put this home into a league of its own...

Without question...this is one of Brighton's finest homes.

The agent called this home in Brighton "Hollywood",

maybe it is a bit,
either way, I like it, 2 mins walk to Brighton Beach.

Kool car to match!

Horse in the foyer, priceless!

Stylish, boho, all that...

This is my favorite room, wow!

I imagine you'd entertain a lot if you were a celebrity!

And here's the grand Master Plan!

AND here's what the Agent said about!
(quite a bit!)

"HOLLYWOOD" ON NORTH
It’s a slice of Hollywood on North Road, two gates, circular drive, a mansion of classic contemporary style.

Step inside and the show begins.

SCENE ONE
Ground Floor.

Floor to ceiling windows throughout create a home bathed in light.
The entrance hall has a soaring ceiling, handsome staircase, and travertine floor. The design clean lines, 50’s inspired by George Dome. Think LA, think Frank Sinatra, think, this is FABULOUS.

The formal entertaining with outlook to the pool has a marble open fire stretching the width of the room. Floor is of dark timber, walls white, options for this large space unlimited. Lounge, dinner party, entertain or just chill. A powder room and cloakroom are adjacent.

Sequestered in the corner, a door leads to a large study, secluded and private, with built in cabinetry and window wall to an enclosed garden.

The kitchen is large, functional and beautiful. Thick marble tops, central bench, the best of appliances and well thought out and expansive cabinetry. It all makes cooking a joy, and the living easy. Extensive laundry/utility leads off this space.

Adjacent is the second living zone. Again the ceiling soars, airy and spacious sandwiched between pool and garden outlooks. The windows rise to meet the eight metre ceilings. Large dining zone leads to a family/lounge area with TV. Kick back, rest and repose.

A corridor leads to a separate self-contained large studio space. Currently a gym and sitting room. It has open fireplace, storage, garden outlook, ensuite bathroom and total privacy. Possibilities abound, home theatre, guest quarters, kids zone or gym.

SCENE TWO
Second Floor

Up the sweeping staircase, the show continues. The master bedroom is enormous with massive balcony, walk in expansive dressing room and large marble ensuite, all fit for a star.

A gallery of doors and openings off the long hallway accommodate the rest of the cast, 3 double bedrooms all with built in robes and intercom. There is a central bathroom, separate first floor study area and huge balcony. A large laundry room with ample storage is on this level. At the end of the hallway there is a second staircase offering first floor access from the rear from the property

SCENE THREE
Gardens, that pool and the rest.

Landscaped gardens literally surround the property, mature trees, beautiful shrubs, herb garden, stunning pool, auto chlorinated and set in sandstone.

The outdoor entertaining is substantial, “pool side�? its ready for a party. “Fernery side�?, draped in green sits the barbeque, concealed at the rear a “private garden�? retreat & from the study a private bougainvillea filled “paved courtyard�? of colour.

There is reverse cycle ducted heating and cooling throughout. The garage with automated door has direct internal access to the house. It easily accommodates two large vehicles and offers considerable storage.

CLOSING CREDITS

This is a piece of LA in Melbourne. Positioned within 2 minutes walk of Brighton beach, “Hollywood�? offers privacy, sophistication, style and fun. It is a solid, sizable beauty of a property, and behind its walls a luxury lifestyle beckons. One any movie star, starlet, leading man or extra would simply love.
