395 St Kilda Street
Brighton

A new era of exquisite, luxe quality is at the heart of this grand Golden Mile home, metres from the beach and close to Brighton's finest schools, Martin Street's cafes, shops and train station. Featured in Vogue Living and Belle magazines, this stunning property redefines sophisticated beachside perfection. The transformation from 1915 elegance to 21st-Century family indulgence captures a passion for bespoke interior design. Every space has undergone a meticulous rebirth, from the north-facing lounge and dining room to the seamless indoor-outdoor living, substantial garden studio, and poolside garden spaces. Spread over two titles totalling 817 square metres (approx) of land, there's the convenience of car access from both Martin and St Kilda Streets. Two refined levels deliver up to four bedrooms, three stylish bathrooms, and a contemporary, solid marble kitchen. It's state-of-the-art with two Siemens multi-function ovens (incorporating microwave), vacuum sous-vide drawer, 2 Liebherr integrated refrigerators, and hand crafted, fluted timberwork. Feel at home in the light-filled family room and meals area, entertain or relax in the welcoming lounge and dining room, and love the studio's flexibility as a third living zone, parents /family retreat, gymnasium or large home office headquarters. The fitout is outstanding and extensive, from craftsman-laid herringbone oak floors and Flos designer lighting to a large mirror internet TV, Bose surround sound, custom-built joinery throughout, original etched glass period windows and plantation shutters. It's easy to see this has been a labour of love. The vast undercover, vaulted terrace is brilliant for year-round outdoor living, 2 decked daybeds beside the pool, and botanical beauty on show from all main rooms. There's nothing left to do but appreciate the never-ending features, including a superb marble ensuite and a mud room/laundry with a dog grooming space, drying cupboard and ample storage. Walk around the corner and you're at the beach, where the sunsets are spectacular, there's a choice of waterfront dining destinations, and coastal views to calm your soul.
