8 Bay Street, Brighton, Vic 3186

Evoking awe with its commanding presence, this masterwork by the renowned Martin Friedrich Architects and the award-winning Jack Merlo exudes a robust elegance that articulates a prevailing timelessness. Situated a mere 50m from the bay in the exclusive St Ninians Road waterfront enclave, it offers scenic bay views from three of its four lift-connected levels. Crowned with a lavish rooftop infinity pool and entertaining deck that captures a breathtaking 360-degree panorama, this residence is a luxurious statement of extraordinary family living.

Monumentality is woven into the architecture, with its compelling double-height entry and the striking use of Tundra and Statuarietto marble, creating a lasting impression of grandeur and permanence. Consciously restrained, meticulously curated choices deepen the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, with sophisticated detailing and curved surfaces a beacon of an unwavering commitment to the highest quality finishes and elite craftsmanship. 

Floor-to-ceiling glazing floods the home's multiple living areas including a library and a fitted study with natural light; in the living domains, peeling back to provide a seamless indoor-outdoor transition, allowing entertaining to spill onto the lush ground-level terrace and the first-floor north-facing balcony. Custom Blum cabinetry and Gaggenau, Pitt, Miele, and Liebherr appliances define the extravagant kitchen and discreet butler's pantry, while a cocktail bar and a three-sided gas fireplace infuse an indulgent ambience into the surrounding space.

Four bedrooms and five bathrooms include a ground-level guest suite, with the remaining bedrooms—among them the main suite with a luxurious double ensuite—located on the first floor. A striking feature is that the pool's glass bottom allows natural daylight to softly illuminate the first-floor passageway, whilst the home's premium amenities extend to a gym, temperature-controlled wine storage, zoned heating and air conditioning, toughened glass double-glazing throughout, European Oak flooring, slab heating on the ground and first floors, and a five-car basement garage with turntable. With a prestigious Golden Mile address, proximity to top-tier schools, Brighton Baths, and retail and dining precinct, this is Brighton living of the highest calibre.
