30 Baird Street, Brighton East, Vic 3187

Elevated to new heights without sacrificing integrity, this impeccably crafted 4-5-bedroom haven exudes a seamless fusion of timeless elegance, designer flair and resort-style living in a coveted beachside pocket of Brighton East.

Meticulously restored and rejuvenated, the home’s circa 1920s façade retains the time-honoured hallmarks of its era including tuck-pointed brickwork and leadlight windows. The heritage splendour continues inside with soaring ornate ceilings and an original fireplace. Engineered timber flooring and plantation shutters introduce a contemporary ambience further complemented by newly laid pure New Zealand wool carpet and curated designer lighting.

Spacious formal and informal living spaces are complemented by an abundance of storage and custom built-in joinery. Imported handmade tiles add an extra layer of luxe to the home’s central stone/Miele kitchen, while a bespoke banquette and butler’s pantry/laundry add to effortless family functionality. Bathed in morning sun, the upstairs primary bedroom suite with balcony access includes a retreat/studio or dressing room with built-in robes, plus a walk-in robe and marble ensuite with twin vanities, free-standing tub and walk-in shower. There are another two bedrooms upstairs, both with new custom cabinetry, along with the main marble bathroom, while downstairs, is a light-filled fourth bedroom with built in-robes, and a study (or fifth bedroom). Also downstairs is another bath/powder room with basin and petite tub.

Perfect for all-season entertaining, the newly constructed undercover alfresco kitchen and dining zone is paved in honed terrazzo-effect concrete and features a two-way wood fire heater, built-in barbecue, double wine/drinks fridges, and overhead heating. Merbau decking wraps around to another alfresco area with sitting area, outdoor shower, and pool powder room with storage cupboard. The lagoon-shaped swimming pool is solar heated and equipped with an automated cleaner while a newly laid kikuyu lawn provides plenty of kids/pets play space in the private rear yard.

Set on 695-square-metres, the entire block has been re-engineered with new drainage, and paving, and a handy pair of workshop/utility sheds have been constructed. Also includes video intercom entry, keypad entry to side gate, ducted heating, evaporative cooling, garage with remote operated door, and rear roller door, plus off-street parking.

Positioned in the prized Brighton Golf Course and Dendy Park precinct, the fabulous family-friendly location is just a short walk to St Leonards and Haileybury College, Hampton Street cafes, Were Street Village and within easy reach of Brighton Beach, train stations and Church Street shopping.
