53 Hanby St, Brighton VIC 3186, Australia

A blue chip oasis in beachside Brighton, this big, bold, and beautifully positioned home offers a brilliant family lifestyle. Superbly situated on approximately 860sqm of sundrenched land, its commanding architectural style and quality construction has stood the test of time. Wide-open living spaces are designed to entertain on a grand family scale in a resort-style pool and garden setting.

 

Custom crafted with swathes of smooth-cut Mount Gambier limestone extending seamlessly from exterior to interior, evoking a grandiose ambience flooded with natural light. Elegant curves, soaring ceilings, and extensive glazing enhance a fluid layout that flows from formal to casual with ease. These lavish zones feature inviting fireplaces (open/gas) that create a warm glow in winter, while doors can be thrown open to catch the bay breeze in the warmer months.

 

The sizable kitchen boasts endless stone benches, quality appliances, and a walk-in pantry, serving as the centerpiece of the sprawling open-plan living and dining area that overlooks a 12m solar-heated swimming pool and lush private gardens. A vast al fresco deck, adorned with skylights and featuring a hidden wine cellar, extends entertaining outdoors for long afternoons spent soaking up the north-westerly sun.

 

Still as attentive to family needs as the day it was built, a home-office is a welcome inclusion on the ground floor accompanying four generous bedrooms upstairs. The deluxe parents’ suite features a curved terrace, walk-in robe, and dual vanity en suite. Well-appointed with a guest powder room, laundry, custom storage throughout, heating, air conditioning, auto-blinds (family room), in-ceiling speakers, remote double garage, and driveway parking.

 

Indulge in the exclusive lifestyle offered by this enduring home, transform an eighties showpiece to suit your own taste, or embark on a new era of modern magnificence (STCA). Nestled between Were Street village and Church Street with easy access to Hanby Street Reserve, Whyte Street Park, Haileybury, St Leonard’s, Brighton Grammar, Firbank Grammar, public transport, shopping and dining options, and Brighton’s sparkling beachfront, this is the opportunity of a lifetime.
