9a Hodder Street
Brighton East

Framed by Paul Pritchard Landscape Design privacy-led landscaping, this exceptional SMP Architect designed residence reveals a contemporary Bayside family sanctuary of rare calm and refinement. A dramatic vaulted entry and soaring three-metre ceilings create an immediate sense of arrival, flowing into a beautifully proportioned open-plan living and dining domain where natural light and architectural scale define everyday luxury.

Expansive glass sliders dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, opening to a lush terrace courtyard beside the dining space before extending to a sun-filled living zone enhanced by floating cabinetry and an Illusion gas fireplace. From here, broad glazing leads to a generous covered alfresco with built-in BBQ, seamlessly connecting to the rear garden — a layered, private oasis designed equally for entertaining and quiet retreat.

At the heart of the home, the kitchen is both sculptural and functional, appointed with marble benchtops, a waterfall island and a full suite of Miele appliances including dual ovens, integrated dishwasher and 750mm gas cooktop. Abundant cabinetry, premium fittings and exceptional storage complete a space tailored for both everyday living and hosting at scale. A substantial laundry provides direct internal access to the garage, enhancing day-to-day convenience.

Upstairs, a light-filled retreat with built-in desk creates an ideal second living zone or study hub, thoughtfully positioned between three generous bedrooms. The main suite is a true haven, bathed in morning light and finished with lofty ceilings, extensive custom robes and a marble-appointed ensuite with double vanity and underfloor heating. Two additional robed bedrooms are served by a luxurious central family bathroom with bath, separate shower and underfloor heating, while the rear bedroom opens to a balcony overlooking the tranquil garden below.

Comfort, efficiency and security are comprehensively addressed with zoned ducted heating and refrigerated cooling, additional split systems upstairs, double glazing, full insulation, a 6-star energy rating and alarm system. A powder room, excellent storage throughout and additional driveway parking complementing an oversized double garage further enhance the home’s practicality.

Positioned moments from Hurlingham Park, Landcox Park, Little Brighton Reserve leading schools and the vibrant cafés, restaurants and boutiques of Bay Street and Centre Road, with trains, trams, buses and major arterials all within easy reach, this is a residence where verdant outlooks, versatile living and thoughtful design combine to deliver timeless family excellence.
