2/311 New Street Brighton

A house-size residence set well back from the street is one of only five exclusive apartments at Brighton's Cinque Terre, metres from Bay Street and restaurants. The ground-floor space and seclusion are outstanding, with three bedrooms and a study, an oversized living and dining zone opening onto a wide courtyard garden, and lift access to two-car basement garaging and storage. A hidden wonder wrapped in timber, standing-seam steel and privacy screening, this is the perfect spacious downsizer or easy-care executive retreat. The living and dining zone is tailormade for entertaining, and the family-size kitchen and butler's pantry have lots of storage space, Bosch appliances and an oversized island bench. Premium stone and timber veneer finishes are on show in the ensuite, bathroom and powder room, there's ducted heating and air conditioning, security entry, and video intercom for when guests arrive. The sense of spaciousness flows through to the main bedroom, designed with walk-in and built-in wardrobes and a dual-basin ensuite. Sunshine fills the west-facing courtyard that's bordered with ornamental pear trees and has a private right-of-way entrance. Work from home in the study, walk to the beach, Bay Street and Church Street in minutes, and love living this close to Firbank and Brighton Grammar Schools.
