Unmatched Family Design, Unrivalled Park-Side Address

Flawlessly transformed, this Period home masterfully balances timeless character with a contemporary family lifestyle opposite the historic Kamesburgh Gardens in one of Brighton’s most picturesque and tightly held streets. Set on approximately 696 sqm and framed by landscaped gardens, it is a rare sanctuary of style and serenity, surrounded by an irreplaceable heritage streetscape. Designed to offer both privacy and connection, the ground-floor wing is a retreat of quiet luxury, preceding the entertainment zones with a garden-view primary bedroom, a large walk-in robe, and an elegant dual-vanity marble ensuite. Park views and ornate period details continue through a home office tailored for two and a formal sitting room with an ambient gas charcoal fireplace. To the rear, the home opens to expansive living and dining zones where American oak floors and custom joinery set the tone for effortless sophistication. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass opens entirely to an alfresco haven, featuring an electric louvre ceiling for all-weather enjoyment, an in-built BBQ, and towering Magnolia and pear greenery framing the large pool. Upstairs, a third living area opens to an enclosed outdoor terrace with leafy views and overhead heating, ideal as a gym or additional sitting room, while two chic bathrooms and ample storage complement three queen-sized bedrooms. Modern conveniences include three-zoned heating and cooling, security alarm and CCTV, an integrated indoor-outdoor sound system, a basketball court, automatic gates and extensive storage solutions. Mere minutes from Brighton’s beaches and esteemed private schools, alongside the vibrant cafes of Bay, New, and Martin Street, this home delivers heritage beauty and contemporary brilliance, curated for those who seek the extraordinary.
