Sunnybrae c.1930 Period Beauty by the Bay

Gracious, spacious and beautifully located within 400m of the sand, Sunnybrae c.1930 makes history as a landmark corner residence of the Seagull Estate This original subdivision of JB Were’s historic South Lodge landholding is now one of the area’s finest family homes. This substantial up to 5 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom home showcases an inspired reimagination with meticulous construction that takes the home to the uncompromising heights of quality and detail, while never losing sight of its place as a warm, welcoming and highly functional family home.
A quintessential beachside Brighton home with the three living zones that modern families love, this unpretentious beauty opens with quietly luxurious bay-windowed lounge and a formal dining room for timeless entertaining with adjacent wine storage area. It then transitions seamlessly into state-of-the-art north-facing family living. The rear welcomes all-day sun with an expansive pool-view family zone flowing through French doors and bi-folds to a colonnaded al fresco area. The home entertains in all seasons with a poolside BBQ pavilion...and keeps kids entertained a sunset-view balconied lounge (with room to work and play) at the heart of the first-floor.
Offering adaptable accommodation with suites upstairs (in a balconied city-view domain with dual-vanity ensuite) and down (in a gracious guest-suite with private ensuite), the home accommodates adult children, in-laws, guests and changing family circumstances with ease. There’s even a focus on work-life balance with workspaces upstairs and down, including a dedicated business-from-home-office, easily styled as a fifth bedroom.
Renovated with respect for the property’s history and architectural integrity, the home extends from a solid brick base to offer peerless prestige living. Centre-stage for family living, a state-of-the-art entertainers’ kitchen (with new appliances, Miele dishwasher and monumental marble-wrapped bench) is supplemented by both a well-placed walk-in pantry and well-appointed butler’s pantry (with second dishwasher and sink).
Showcasing designer interiors curated with hand-selected Italian Statuario marble, satin-polished Australian hardwood floors and premium carpets, the home is detailed to the owners’ scrupulous specifications with crafted stucco walls and artisan wrought-iron against the backdrop of the home’s original period detail; including elaborate panelling, decorative ceilings and lavish leadlight. With lofty 3.1m ceilings and a soaring elliptical stairwell skylight enhancing the home’s original proportions, there’s every contemporary comfort; from built-in, walk-in and walk-through robes, understair cellaring and an upstairs storeroom, to a dream family laundry (with ironing station and drying-cabinet), to a clever covered amenity area with a poolside shower.
Climate-controlled by reverse-cycle air-conditioning and heating zoned to each level and secured by alarm and 6-camera CCTV, the property is an eye-catching presence on the corner of Carines Cres with a semi-circle driveway and porte-cochere entry providing four-car auto-gated parking including two undercover spaces. Bathed in north sun with broad lawns alongside the sparkling fully tiled solar and gas heated 2.1m deep pool this period-perfect family package enjoys an unparalleled location.
High above Dendy St’s famous bathing-box beach, this Dress Circle position has the iconic café, boutique grocer and handy services of Were St Village within four blocks. Brighton Beach station is a 400m short walk, and Church St shopping and the central Brighton and South Road schools (BGS, Firbank, Haileybury & St Leonard’s Colleges) together with the in-demand Brighton Beach & St Joan of Arc Primary School’s are a stroll away.
