Brighton VIC 3186

Unforgettable in prestige and elegance, "Chantilly" is a spectacular Rob Mills masterpiece nestled amidst formal pied-a-terre gardens in one of Brighton's most exclusive and tightly-held tree-lined avenues. Designed and crafted to emulate a French Chateau, with a beautiful ivy-draped exterior, mansard slate roof and exquisite use of French Oak, cast iron, and Venetian plaster, this expansive tri-level residence offers peerless luxury and lifestyle on the edge of Brighton Beach.

A sense of occasion is evident within the grand entrance hall, where double-height ceilings, Venetian plaster walls and a gracious curved staircase create a lasting impression. Exquisite French Oak laid in the Versailles pattern features within the formal living and dining room, whilst banks of French doors draped in ivy extend from the palatial casual family zone to the glorious private north-facing garden. Reclaimed timber from the Sydney Woolstores underfoot and 11" ceilings above enhance the sense of scale, adjoining the al fresco terrace with a picturesque, solar-heated 16m pool, forming an irresistible setting for year-round outdoor entertaining under automated awnings.

Fit for any culinary challenge, the accompanying provincial-inspired kitchen boasts natural timber benchtops, integrated appliances within the custom cabinetry, including a fridge/freezer and dishwasher, and a statement Falcon stove. Beautifully zoned, the four-bedroom, 3-bathroom accommodation includes the full-width main suite on the upper floor, taking in breathtaking northern light from its private balcony and the luxury of an ensuite with underfloor heating and a decadent dressing room/WIR.
