63 Murphy Street
Brighton

Outstanding single-level home brings a new era of light-filled luxury to an Art Deco original. Perfectly located metres from Elsternwick Park, blocks from the beach and moments from schools, cafes, and public transport.

Hidden behind a remote-control gate and privacy hedging, it’s a joy to come home to the four-bedroom spaciousness. An oversized family room opening out to a state-of-the-art deck and self-cleaning pool, plus a Miele kitchen you’ll love for all its storage and casual dining space.

A contemporary extension houses the ultimate family room, large dining zone, study nook and kitchen, bathed in north-west natural light and brilliant for entertaining and everyday living. Open its big sliding doors, and the fireplace-heated deck offers indoor-outdoor living at its best, with views of Elsternwick Park treetops, and the easy-care pool and garden.

Every room of this pristine hideaway has a finely curated choice of features and finishes. The main bedroom retains its original beauty, alongside a quality ensuite and well-appointed walk-in wardrobe. An additional bedroom has its own sitting room/home office with views of the garden’s putting green and established plantings. Ralph Lauren and Florence Broadhurst wallpapers are inspired inclusions. There’s the rich patina of solid jarrah floorboards, the choice of sun-filtering sheer drapes and remote-control blinds, and original decorative ceilings and fireplace surrounds.

Everyday practicality is easy with a shaded dining deck next to the kitchen, ducted heating and air conditioners, a zoned security alarm, garden irrigation, and three-car secure parking accessed from the kitchen and front door.

All this awaits in a sought-after neighborhood with many amenities close by. Murphy Street is blocks from the beach, you can walk through Elsternwick Park to Elwood’s shops and cafes, catch a tram or train nearby, and you’re a stroll away from Gum Tree Good Food and Superrandom on New Street for Melbourne’s best coffee.
