Brighton VIC 3186

Totnes c. 1890 - elegantly enlivened while ever-true to its character, this iconic, towered Victorian stands proudly as one of the areas most significant homes, sprawling over a vast 1169sqm (approx.) parcel in Brightons beloved heart.

With uninterrupted frontage to Wilson Reserve, the homes stance is made memorable by wrought-iron fences and lacework, canopies of verdure, a tessellated-tile veranda, and prominent corner position, while inside, period grace and modern luxe seamlessly entwine. Herringbone parquetry, a grand archway, and towering, ornate ceiling frame an inviting hallway, winding to introduce a spacious dining room en route to exceptional living/hospitality domain. Occupying their own distinct wing, expansive lounge and rumpus areas heighten hosting capabilities, while in a wonderfully open main section, a first-class kitchen and wine room flank a family/meals conservatory soaking in delightful, all-day sun. Usable across the year, a louvre-top alfresco steps into a sun-soaked yard kept private by sculpted hedges, brilliant for a dip in the pool and barbecue surrounded by friends and family.

Glancing at greenery, a magnificent main bedroom is accompanied by a walk-in robe and luxe ensuite, while two additional, lavish bathrooms join extensive storage in serving bedrooms two, three, and four. Truly setting the abode apart from all others, a wrought-iron spiral staircase climbs from a laundry/butlers pantry to a tower study and roof terrace, with city, bay, sunrise, and sunset vistas an unforgettable backdrop for socialising or unwinding in peace. A home simply unlike any other, further highlights include stained-glass and sash windows, garden irrigation, a security system, mains-gas barbecue, two-car garage, and combination of Dekton surfaces, a seven-seat island, Miele appliances, and profuse storage to the kitchen.
