57 Lynch Crescent, Brighton, Vic 3186

A bold new presence on the sweep of this prized crescent, this 5 bedroom plus home-office, 6.5 bathroom home from Enzo Campus's design studio, Casa62, redefines state-of-the-art family living with 4 living zones across 3 levels of gallery-like spaces. 

Rising from a sub-floor entertainment level (with sound-proofed media lounge, gym and 660-bottle cellar) opening to a sunken garden, the home spills out to active open spaces front and rear with vast formal, family and al fresco zones before stepping up to a dedicated bedroom level with a domain for parents, a wing for kids and a quiet 4th living zone. 

A bold design statement, that never loses sight of its purpose as a warm and welcoming family home, the home makes parental privacy a priority with a breathtaking master-domain starring dual walk-in robes plus a deep dressing-area, dual-vanity, double-shower ensuite, and sweeping city-glimpse balcony beyond an immense single-pane window. Adaptably accommodating with a private ensuite for every bedroom, there's scope to rethink the light-filled sub-floor zone as in-law, guest or staff quarters and plenty of space to just think; with a fitted work-at-home office plus robe-and-desk combinations for each bedroom. 

Showcasing a rigorous design aesthetic with soft curves flowing inside-to-out across every level, and perfect proportions including full-height doors meeting ceilings at 2.7m and 3m heights, the home offers high-integrity design at every turn; from floor-to-ceiling double-glazing separating Italian limestone floors (honed inside, flamed outside), to a sinuous oak-topped polished-render stair snaking over all three levels. 

With a skylit kitchen (featuring high-tech German Bora induction cooktop, Miele appliances and a 'secret' butler's pantry with 2nd integrated fridge-freezer) showing a dedication to streamlined form, the home is family functional inside-out. There's a well-appointed al fresco kitchen for the all-weather entertaining zone, a carefree poolside bathroom to keep the party outdoors, and direct access to the garden to welcome guests right to the poolside. 

Crafted to an uncompromising standard with CDK's textural natural stone benchtops above grout-free flagstone tiles, ultra-wide European Oak boards paired with pebbled wool carpets, and lofty rebated sheers backed by auto-blinds, the home is curated with unerring attention-to-detail; from a hand-crafted backlit feature wall, to artisan lighting from Articolo Studios, to multiple fireplaces - gas, flame, inside, out and imported Cheminees Phillipe! Climate controlled by discreet Italian hydronic heating (panel and in-slab) and individual heating/air-con to every room, this family-wise home is secured by alarm, 5 camera CCTV, video-intercom and keyless entry, and appointed with ducted vacuum, endless storage... even a drying cabinet. With lift-access over all three levels, even the garaging is cleverly conceived with a gentle-incline and turntable for easy 7-car access, and unobstructed 2.7m ceilings allowing the tallest boat, van or camper. 

Set in well-utilised approx 900sqm* grounds with a fully-automated dual-heated pool and spa on the northside of Fairway-quality lawns, the backyard is all about the family time. A paved catwalk above the sunken garden links the home to a shooting court to hone basketball skills, a curvaceous seating area to fit the firepit, and fast-growing hedging and ground-coverings to inspire imaginative play. Situated in the heart of the Brighton Beach Primary School Zone, this unparalleled property puts it all in reach; Church St, Dendy St beach and Middle Brighton station are within an equally easy walk, the central Brighton schools (BGS and Firbank) are a minute away, the city schools (Melbourne Grammar and Girls Grammar, Wesley and St Michael's) are just down the line, and the CBD is within an easy commute by road, rail or beachfront cycle
