183 Were Street, Brighton East, Vic 3187

Befitting its privileged Bayside lifestyle location, this five-bedroom, resort-style Brighton East family sanctuary will captivate with generously proportioned, northerly facing indoor and outdoor zones, striking architectural detail, and an impressive array of appointments.

Privately and securely set behind a high wall with intercom entry and security cameras, the solid brick home's original Art Deco charm remains, while sophisticated enhancements, including skylights, clerestory windows, soaring vaulted ceilings and blackbutt timber floors, beautifully enrich the contemporary liveability.

The main bedroom suite at the front of the home has been recently transformed with a luxe, light-filled ensuite complete with a free-standing tub, dual-head walk-in shower, and twin vanities. There are a further four good-sized bedrooms, all with fitted robes, a lavish, marble main bathroom, and there are two options for a home office/study (or additional bedrooms/sitting rooms), one at the rear, and another in the mezzanine loft, accessed via pull-down attic stairs. The home's entertaining amenities are outstanding beginning with a cinema room, and an expansive northerly facing open-plan living and dining space headed by a stone/Smeg and Miele kitchen with butler's pantry. This area flows to the super-impressive undercover decked alfresco zone with built-in kitchen/wet bar and wood fireplace, which is complemented by a barbecue gazebo with built-in gas-plumbed barbecue and sink. Sandstone paving surrounds the stunning, fully tiled infinity-edge pool, which is gas and solar-heated for year-round enjoyment.

Additional features include a guest powder room, laundry, double remote-opening garage with rear roller door access to additional vehicle/trailer parking, and covered walkway access to the home's entry vestibule with wine storage/utility room. Set on a 960sqm (approx.) allotment, within exceptionally low-maintenance established gardens, this character-filled home is located in a leafy, family-friendly street within easy walking distance to St. Leonards and Haileybury Colleges, the playing fields and amenities of Dendy Park, Brighton Golf Course, Were Street Village, Hampton Street cafes, and Brighton Beach.
