18 Menzies Avenue, Brighton, Vic 3186

Embraced by breathtakingly beautiful gardens & finished to an exceptional standard throughout, this exquisite French Provincial-inspired home by the Stonehenge Group & Graeme Summers is an offering of timeless elegance & sophistication.

A sanctuary of the highest calibre where incredible attention to detail is on display at every turn & every inclusion carefully considered, many of the home's features have been chosen & sourced from across Australia & around the world for both their aesthetic beauty & functionality.

Bolstered by a privileged, low-traffic Brighton Beach address, the extraordinary one-owner home makes an impactful first impression. Classically appealing & with a custom European Oak & wrought iron door to beckon guests inside, the home opens to a foyer enhanced by stunning, reclaimed Black Butt floors.

A formal lounge/5thBR & home office/sitting room grace either side of the entrance – the latter with bespoke Graeme Geddes library. A formal dining room enjoys access to a private terrace while at the rear of the home is a spectacular entertaining area & first-class gourmet kitchen with Carrara marble island; a zone that spills seamlessly outside to the unforgettable European garden where towering columns, imported Queensland Ficus trees & an enviable self-cleaning pool are all focal points.

An authentic French chandelier & handmade balustrade by Bent Metal grace the staircase that leads to the home's first floor. Here, discover a magnificent bay-view parents' retreat. The three additional bedrooms are all havens in their own right; they share a stunning semi-ensuite bathroom – a third full bathroom is located downstairs.

Crowning the residence is a sensational rooftop terrace with bay views that span from the Mornington Peninsula right round to the city. Capturing countless sunsets, sailboat races & even New Year's Eve fireworks, this incredible vantage point is a setting designed to share with family & friends. The basement garage can accommodate up to five cars – also offered are a wine cellar, zoned heating/cooling, gas & open fireplaces, security, d/vac, Bose speakers & auto awnings.

Close to Brighton Beach station & foreshore, the home is within walking distance of many of the area's leading schools including Haileybury & St Leonard's colleges.
