39 Orchard Street
Brighton

Perfectly positioned in a prized Brighton neighbourhood, a stunning architect-led reimagination has enhanced this circa 1892 home's Victorian splendour whilst celebrating its north-facing rear aspect with a luxe contemporary transformation designed for relaxed family living and poolside entertaining.

Gloriously set in outstanding Joanna Gelback designed gardens, the graceful block-fronted brick façade, with ornate Victorian embellishments exemplifies housing grandeur of the era. Parquetry flooring and an elegant archway define the wide entrance hallway, capped by soaring ceilings. The original front section has been recently refreshed to highlight the beauty of original features including pressed metal, plasterwork, and timber mouldings. The front sitting room (or additional bedroom/home office) has a stunning bay window and marble fireplace, while the main bedroom also has a delightful garden outlook, fireplace, WIR and luxury Travertine ensuite. Two further bedrooms have plantation shutters, fireplaces, and BIRs and the gleaming main bathroom has a marble-encased tub and twin vanities.

A continuation of the lofty ceilings seamlessly connects the original to the contemporary section where natural stone finishes, including Travertine flagstone flooring, and walls of glass enrich the expansive living/dining zone extends out through the bi-fold doors to a superb outdoor entertaining area with built-in wood-fire pizza oven and gas-plumbed BBQ, sparkling salt-water, solar-heated swimming pool, and children's play area.

The Miele kitchen has polished limestone benchtops including a central island and there is a gas log fire in the spacious living zone, plus gas ducted heating, split system A/C, laundry with external access, auto blinds, security alarm, garden watering system and storage attic.

In a blissful family friendly neighbourhood, enviably located to enjoy all Brighton had to offer with Bay and Church Streets, the beach, renowned private/public schools and North Brighton Train Station all just a short stroll away.
