8 Birdwood Avenue, Brighton, Vic 3186

Beautifully reflecting French Provincial architecture, this magnificent Jon Friedrich designed residence with basement offers unsurpassed family grandeur on Brighton’s exclusive Golden Mile. Only metres to the glittering bay, the tri-level property exudes chateau-style luxury and timeless elegance set against a spectacular, north-westerly pool and garden backdrop.

A sweeping circular driveway and lush landscaping set the scene for private and tranquil living aglow with natural light. A stunning double-door entrance reveals a grand reception hall featuring Travertine tiling (underfloor heating), tall columns and high ceilings, while a custom-fitted executive study and a formal lounge are both warmed by marble gas fireplaces. The formal dining zone is illuminated by a curved bay-window framing a verdant garden outlook.

Exceptionally proportioned, the bright and airy family living and dining room is serviced by a gourmet kitchen showcasing an exquisite, ‘Nero Picasso’ marble waterfall island along with an Ilve freestanding cooker and custom joinery including a bar area. A well-positioned combined butler’s and laundry provides even more prep and storage space for entertaining ease. The living domain opens to a sun-soaked, resort-inspired garden with a covered al fresco dining terrace (strip heating & speakers), an integrated BBQ, and a fully-tiled, heated swimming pool and spa.

Lit by a towering oculus skylight, an imposing staircase leads to the home’s generous accommodation featuring four palatial bedrooms each with built-in/walk-in robes, and access to an en suite bathroom and outdoor terrace. Peacefully zoned to the rear, the lavish main suite is a true parents’ retreat with its vast covered terrace offering a private staircase to the pool, as well as custom-designed his & hers dressing rooms and a luxurious Travertine, dual-vanity en suite.

Basements are always in high-demand and this one impresses with its up to six-car garaging, alongside a home gymnasium, an eight-seater cinema room for a Gold Class movie experience at home, a wine cellar and extensive storage. Designed and built with meticulous attention to detail, the residence flaunts a marble powder room, laundry chute and drying cupboard, bespoke joinery throughout, deep cornicing and tall French windows. Also ducted heating, cooling and vacuum, in-ceiling speakers, security system, gas/solar pool heating, and automated garden irrigation.

Impeccably maintained by only one owner, the property befits its elite cul-de-sac location just 220m from the foreshore promenade, and one of only a handful of streets that offers the convenience of lights at Martin Street. Close to Brighton Yacht Club, the Brighton Baths, Elwood beach, the shopping, dining and transport hubs of Martin, Bay and Church streets, and the area’s selection of prestigious schooling options. This grand family home awaits your immediate enjoyment.
