13 Collins Street, Brighton, Vic 3186

Reimagined without compromise, this architecturally striking home in one of Brighton’s most illustrious leafy avenues has been sublimely transformed, creating a harmonious five bedroom family sanctuary that will captivate with its soaring dimensions, impeccable fit out, and high end appointments. Celebrating its original splendour and northerly rear aspect, standout features include a double height entry void, 6.3 metre high ceilings in the glass lined main sunken living space, and a domed ceiling to the glazed arch mezzanine in the primary bedroom suite. The recent architectural renovation impresses with refined custom joinery throughout, adding cohesive elegance, while exquisite natural stone benchtops, resurfaced hardwood floors, and pure wool carpets endorse the calming nature inspired materials palette. The reconfigured floorplan is designed to enhance family liveability and effortless entertaining, centred around the stunning limestone kitchen equipped for gourmet cooking and incorporating an integrated French door fridge/freezer. Glass sliding doors from the main living area open to offer seamless indoor/outdoor connectivity to the private sandstone rear terrace, bordered with lush verdancy, and centred around the custom fully tiled swimming pool and spa. There are two fitted bedrooms on the ground level, along with a fully tiled bathroom with wet room shower, and a second living room or home cinema, which opens from the double garage, an under stair study nook, and a luxe powder room. Upstairs, the primary bedroom suite offers a sanctuary like space with access to a balcony with treetop and church spire views. The light filled domed sitting area is backed by a wall of bespoke robes and the ensuite is resplendent with hand cut tiles, a twin stone vanity and a walk in wet room with freestanding tub and dual head rain shower. Completing the upper level layout are another two fitted bedrooms, one with church spire views, an elegantly tiled bathroom, and a kitchenette/coffee station. Additional features include central gas ducted heating and refrigerated cooling zoned to all bedrooms, a gas log fire, track lighting, LED stair lighting, Illume skylights, underfloor heating to ensuite and main bathroom,  CCTV security alarm, keyless entry, an abundance of storage, and automated irrigation. On a 700 square metre (approx.) landscaped block, surrounded by some of Brighton’s most illustrious homes, this esteemed address is an easy walk to both Bay Street and Church Street, and close to both Firbank and Brighton Grammar, offering all the privileges of Brighton’s coveted lifestyle.
