125 Head Street

Brighton VIC 3186

Styled with an artist's eye for detail, this evocative single-level early 1900s residence has been beautifully modernised to create a sense of sanctuary with a gorgeous north-facing garden oasis with a studio in a quiet street close to Elsternwick Park, the beach front, Martin Street Village and schools. Tall ceilings and a crisp white colour scheme contrast against the warmth and richness of Baltic timber floorboards and bespoke lighting by Earl Pinto to create a refined yet relaxing living environment. The northern rear aspect has been maximised throughout the spacious open-plan family living and dining room with French doors to an ornamental vine-draped verandah which has been positioned to draw sun indoors in the winter while shading the interior in summer. Beyond, a paved BBQ terrace set beneath a wisteria draped pergola is a secluded area for entertaining with an awning for protection from the summer sun and French doors into a versatile studio with kitchenette. A formal living room is designed as a lovely getaway with a gas coal fireplace and library shelving; while the well-appointed kitchen features an Ilve oven. Three bedrooms with built-in robes include the main bedroom with a sublime modern en suite framed with water a glass artwork. A large study with Earl Pinto shelving and French doors to the garden equally suits use as a fourth bedroom. A main bathroom, ducted heating, a freshly painted interior, huge workshop and off-street parking further add to the excellence of this stunning home which will be sold for only the second time in its long history.
