Brighton VIC 3186

Contemporary spaciousness and 1930s grandeur are impressively merged in this six-bedroom home with a self-contained apartment. Once the home of Brighton's Dr Carroll, it's now renovated and restored to perfection with easy access from Champion Street. An architect-designed extension has created a huge family room, deluxe kitchen and poolside outdoor living. The apartment is perfect for guest, au pair accommodation or home office, with two bedrooms and ensuite, a lounge, dining area and kitchen. Four living rooms over two levels are large and beautifully proportioned, and the main bedroom suite has a newly renovated ensuite, dressing room and the aura of a deluxe hotel. Nothing but the best features and brands showcase in this landmark home. Mahogany floors, a travertine fireplace, an induction cooktop and Miele oven, large walk-in pantry, and a renovated family bathroom with a freestanding bath and leafy views add to the first-class feel. Look forward to summers with a self-cleaning pool, your own citrus grove, a vine-shaded pergola, and poolside change room. The large land of 1,210 square metres approx has allowed for a double garage, workshop, boat storage with its own driveway, and a generous setback. Beautifully tended gardens surround this grand home, and the north-facing indoor-outdoor living is idyllic. There's even a maids bell system in working order, a reminder of this home's grand origins. The perfect family-focused address, near Were St's cafes, gourmet shopping, the beach and train station, Haileybury, St Leonard's College, and four primary schools.
