1/117 New Street, Brighton, Vic 3186

Celebrating its blue-chip beachside address, just a five-minute walk to Church Street and Middle Brighton station, this architecturally extended and beautifully renovated three-to-four bedroom-plus study contemporary residence presents a spacious, adaptive floorplan designed for effortless family living and seamless indoor/outdoor connectivity to a tranquil, private garden.

Securely set behind a high fence with video intercom entry, the front garden includes a lush lawn area, established borders and a fire pit area. The light-filled entry hall reveals a soaring void above the stairwell and a fitted home office. Spotted gum flooring flows throughout the main living area, which opens via bi-folding glass doors to the broad undercover alfresco entertaining deck, which extends to the child and pet-friendly garden. The central kitchen features an engineered stone breakfast bar, topped with a lineal pendant, and is equipped with quality stainless steel appliances, including a gas cooktop, oven and dishwasher. The second ground-floor living area with custom shelving also opens to the garden, and there is a bedroom with mirrored sliding door robes and a well-appointed floor-to-ceiling stone-tiled bathroom also on this level, making the layout ideal for zoned single-level or multi-gen family living. Upstairs are another two bedrooms, with plush carpets and large windows fitted with plantation shutters, revealing verdant treetop views towards the Bay with water glimpses. The main bedroom has a light-filled walk-in wardrobe and a luxe terrazzo bathroom with a free-standing bath, dual head walk-in shower, stone vanity and a heated towel rail. There are also plenty of built-in storage cupboards, including an under-stair space perfect for wine storage. Additional features include reverse cycle heating and cooling (ducted upstairs), 6.6-kilowatt solar rooftop panels, security cameras, a laundry with external access, a service sideway with a washing line, a single garage with a remote door, plus off-street parking.

The esteemed Brighton neighbourhood is just a short walk to Church Street boutiques, cafes, and station, and equally close to Dendy Street Beach, foreshore parks and the Bay Trail. Opposite St.Joan of Arc Primary School, other prestigious schools in easy reach include Brighton Grammar, Firbank Grammar, Haileybury College and St Leonards.
