Uncompromising Design, Unparalleled Views

House Sold - BRIGHTON VIC

Built to the highest specification on the grandest scale, this notable five bedroom, 4.5 bathroom residence from architect, James Rigney, enjoys an immensely private cul-de-sac location …and arguably Melbourne’s best across-bay city-skyline view. Elevated and oriented to maximise north sun across the day and city sparkle throughout the evening, this breath-taking multi-suite, multi-living design rises over four lift-access levels to offer a fine formal lounge, two levels of due-north indoor-outdoor living, a city-view library/home-office and an entertaining basement recreation room.

Serviced by kitchens on all three internal levels (all with a selection of Miele appliances, the primary kitchen with commercial Wolf range, Sub-Zero fridge and butler’s pantry), the home extends entertaining spaces with an impressively-racked cellar, basement multi-purpose room (ideal as gym) and sun-catching al fresco areas including a pergola-shaded water-feature principal terrace (with retractable awning), mid-level balcony-terrace (with panoramic bay and city views) and a fourth-level roof-deck (with gas-heated auto-clean tiled pool and sauna).

Starring a breath-taking master-domain with dual-vanity ensuite (with marble “egg” bath), dual dressing-rooms, dual balconies and dual bay-views (including to Brighton Yacht Club), the home offers plush private spaces including travertine ensuites (accessible from every bedroom) and mirrored dressing areas. Richly finished by expert Italian craftsmen, the home features Carrera marble benchtops, impeccably-matched Silver Travertine and American Oak floors, bespoke cabinetry and an artisan-crafted stucco wall finishes. Shining with Italian designer lighting, the home showcases Rigney’s signature architectural elements including lofty coved ceilings, tall full-height doors and gallery-like hall and lobby spaces.

With in-floor hydronic heating supplemented by individual climate-control for every room and gas-fireplaces for most living spaces, the home is Sonos-wired and secured by video-intercom and alarm. Highly energy-efficient with double-glazing, LED downlights and solar power, even the access is state-of-the-art with 6 cars comfortable housed in basement garaging and a discreet lift over every level from basement to panorama-view pool,

Secluded in an exclusive beachfront cul-de-sac, this uncompromising design offers unparalleled northerly views…and an unbeatable location, just 25m via a pedestrian-land to the Golden Mile beachfront, and a minute to Church St and excellent schools via traffic lights on St Kilda Street.
