Properties of this grand scale, offering such exceptional accommodation, are a rare find.
This unique six-bedroom, four-bathroom residence presents the space and versatility for an exceptional family home, complete with north-south championship tennis court and pool nestled within established gardens.
Set on a terrific block of approximately 3,488 sqm. This impeccably maintained family home is ready to enjoy and is only a short walk to the famous Brighton/Elwood beaches.
Crafted to the highest standard by the late Brighton architect Gerhardt Sommer, the home features double brick construction, sweeping plaster walls, and a slate roof, with the second story thoughtfully positioned at the rear to overlook the expansive back garden.
This property evokes the charm of a traditional estate, complete with mature trees and vast lawns reminiscent of an English country manor. The wraparound veranda, a nod to colonial architecture, provides cool relief in summer and extra shelter during winter.
Internally, the home is filled with natural light and features distinct areas for formal entertaining, casual living, and recreation across two levels. The grand central hallway with 3.3m (approx.) high ceilings leads to the formal dining and lounge areas, the latter boasting an open marble fireplace. The kitchen and dining spaces flow into an expansive casual living area, overlooking the pool and garden.
With an updated kitchen featuring premium appliances, stone countertops including a Miele oven, cooktop, and dishwasher.
Downstairs, two bedrooms, each with their own ensuites, the main bedroom features extensive built-in robes. A dedicated home office with built-in robes could also serve as a sixth bedroom.
Upstairs: an excellent retreat for the younger family members, this is connected to the children’s wing, which comprises three generously sized bedrooms with ample storage, an attic, and two interconnecting bathrooms.
Outside, the property offers abundant space for alfresco dining and entertaining, featuring the tennis court, large pool, and expansive gardens.
The grand frontage is highlighted by a bluestone and wrought-iron fence, complemented by a horseshoe gravel driveway.
Additional features include a freestanding double garage, bike and tool shed, large laundry, ducted heating/cooling, water tanks, and ample off-street parking. The property is conveniently located near prestigious schools, Brighton’s famous cafes and dining spots in Martin and Bay Streets, and the vibrant Elwood village, all within walking distance from 29 Drake Street.
