Brighton East VIC 3187

A subterranean courtyard and soaring entry create a striking first impression with pale oak flooring and heated, large format tiles stretching toward luminous living and entertaining domains that frame the pool. A custom designed study space floats above the vine-draped, private courtyard, alongside an inviting formal lounge warmed by a gas open fireplace. Immense living-dining opens to an all-season, Vergola-shaded al fresco room and BBQ kitchen, while an oak-lined window seat faces a lush, low maintenance rear garden.

The heart of every home, this kitchen's flawless design will inspire even the most reluctant chef with a selection of the latest Miele appliances set amidst sleek, concealed cabinetry and fine granite benches that extend to a butler's style laundry. Another example of the builder's eye for high-end detail, a single slab of Brazilian natural stone forms a stunning entertainer's island custom-made to double as a relaxed dining space. Also offering easy access to a double automatic garage, mud-room storage and guest powder room.

A sculptural stair-well leads up to a dedicated bedroom level . And down to a light and airy basement boasting a sunken garden bedroom suite, theatre-lounge and games room/gymnasium with a secret view into the pool. Uncompromisingly accommodating with a luxe bathroom to each bedroom, a vast master 'apartment' (balconied-bedroom retreat, robed dressing area and sublime twin vanity en suite is the star.
