2 Cowper Street Brighton

Superb design and a sophisticated interior merge for magnificent single-level living close to Bay Street's cafes and shops, schools, trains and parks. What was an original gardener's cottage is now a high-end home, where four bedrooms and a study, two outstanding living zones, and a Neff kitchen, butler's pantry and two bathrooms are state-of-the-art. Love the luxury created by interior designers Blue Fruit and builders Genjusho, who have merged Victorian origins with a feelgood 21st-Century vibe. The light-filled family room is instantly welcoming with a soaring cathedral ceiling, designer light fittings, blackbutt floors and views on three sides of the private garden and dining terrace. Escape to the calm of a zoned lounge, with an original fireplace surround, high ceiling and contemporary joinery. Every feature you want in a luxe kitchen is here, including two child-lock ovens, hardwearing Dekton benchtops, the beauty of a glazed-brick splashback, brass tapware and ceramic sinks. Each bedroom has its own sense of style, with the main including a walk-in wardrobe and a deluxe ensuite with a feature window for garden views. Exacting planning has included plenty of built-in desk space, wine storage, on-trend tiling in wet areas, a heated laundry drying system, Weber barbecue, and the original central hallway. Prime Brighton location is a three-minute walk to Cochrane Street's supermarket, 500 metres to North Brighton station, Cora Lynn Park is three doors away, and it's an easy walk to Firbank, Brighton Grammar and Kamesburgh Gardens.
