107/429-431 Bay Street, Brighton, Vic 3186

Proportioned to impress with an evocative sense of understated class and sophistication, this superbly appointed two bedroom, two bathroom plus study ‘Bianco’ residence is an alluring back-of-the-block sanctuary, presented as new, in the thriving heart of Bay Street. Fully secure with a whisper-quiet, north-facing alfresco flow and basement parking, the apartment has been masterfully crafted by Cera Stribley architects to stand the test of time.

Proudly revealing a bold combination of stone benchtops and splash backs, as well as Smeg cooking and an integrated refrigerator, the kitchen is stylishly appointed for gourmet cooking and oversees impressively large dining and living. Here, huge floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors extend the space outdoors to an undercover terrace that faces north and enjoys attractive treetop vistas. Fully secure with video entry and elevator access, the apartment also features a particularly vogue and fully-tiled designer bathroom that is themed to the primary bedroom’s ensuite, plus there are custom built-in robes in each bedroom, a large concealed laundry, engineered Oak flooring, split system heating and air conditioning.

This is an extraordinary lifestyle proposition surrounded by thriving cafes, fine dining, excellent bars, gymnasiums, pilates and health facilities, as well as a flagship Coles supermarket, a cinema and city-bound trains from North Brighton Railway Station, all with the endless expanses of the waterfront at the end of the street.
