209 Were Street
Brighton East

Rich in the timeless grandeur of French Provincial-inspired architecture, this four-bedroom sandstone-brick Brighton East family residence is designed for grand-scale low-maintenance indoor/outdoor family living and entertaining and will captivate with its elegant, lawn-free parterre gardens and sundrenched alfresco courtyard in a prized beachside neighbourhood.

Privately set behind a high wall with secure keyless gated entry, the breathtaking landscaped designed formal hedged gardens are well established and rich in Mediterranean influences. A double entry-door introduces the grand entry foyer where a splendid chandelier illuminates a double-height void and a curved ironwork and timber staircase rises above expanses of polished parquetry flooring. The ground floor layout comprises flowing formal and informal living and entertaining spaces centred around a gourmet granite-topped kitchen, while glass sliding doors and a conservatory-style dining space frame the fully paved north-facing courtyard with classical styled water feature and verdant borders, fragrant with lavender and jasmine. Offering butler’s pantry functionality, there is a large laundry off the kitchen with an external access door, and also an access door to the large under-house wine/storage cellar. Also on the ground floor is a guest bedroom, or study, along with a powder room while upstairs the grandeur continues with a mezzanine overlooking the void and chandelier framed by a high arched window with leafy outlooks. The main bedroom suite is lavishly proportioned and has a large walk in robe and shower ensuite, while another front facing bedroom also has a walk in robe and two-way access to the main bathroom with spa bath. Additional features include central heating and cooling, an open fire place in marble surrounds, a double garage with remote door, security alarm, and keyless entry.

Set on a 616* square metre block, this home is exceptionally located in family-focussed Bayside lifestyle location, close to both St. Leonard’s and Haileybury colleges, and is also in walking distance to the cafes and boutiques of Church Street and Were Street village, Brighton Golf Course, Dendy Park and Brighton Beach.
