12 Cowper Street
Brighton

Reimagining Edwardian grace with contemporary style and sophistication, this architecturally renovated solid brick three-bedroom-plus study Brighton home presents a captivating showpiece of timeless elegance within light-filled and generously proportioned living and entertaining spaces on a substantial 718 square metres* in a prestige pocket, just moments to Bay Street.

Set behind automated driveway gates leading to secure off-street parking, a manicured lawn and landscaped gardens introduce the single-level home’s time honoured appeal, with a tessellated-tile verandah wrapping around the northerly facing façade. Inside, a generously proportioned entry hall and original rooms resplendent with Baltic pine flooring, soaring ceilings, original fireplaces and ornate plasterwork are juxtaposed with curated designer pendants. Connecting the original with the new is a gallery-like hallway, illuminated with skylights, that leads to the open plan living, dining and entertaining zone edged by a wall of sliding glass opening to a sky-lit undercover alfresco deck which steps down to the lushly lawned, private back yard bordered by established greenery. Defined by an oversized stone island bench, the gourmet timber-veneer kitchen is equipped with a Scholtes oven and gas hob, an integrated French door fridge/freezer and integrated dishwasher, while a large walk-in preparation pantry with a wine fridge enhances the home’s entertaining amenity. Zoned at the front of the home, the light-filled main bedroom is complemented by a large walk-through robe/dressing room and luxe floor-to-ceiling tiled ensuite. A fitted study (or fourth bedroom), and formal lounge/second living area are also in the front section of the home and are resplendent with Edwardian era features. Positioned off the hallway, the second bedroom has built-in robes and desk and a designer light, while the third bedroom is also generously proportioned with fitted robes. Adding a sophisticated edge, the fully-tiled main bathroom has a built-in tub, walk-in shower, and marble vanity. There is also separate guest powder room and additional features include a laundry with external access, hydronic heating throughout, central refrigerated air conditioning, a security door and alarm system.

This outstanding location in the heart of Brighton is just moments to Bay Street shopping, station, restaurants and cinema, as well as Golden Mile beaches and prestigious schools including Brighton Grammar and Firbank Grammar.
