84 New Street, Brighton, Vic 3186

Showcasing a standard of craftsmanship, quality, and detail rarely seen in new homes of today, this French Provincial showpiece offers unparalleled luxury and entertaining prowess steps from vibrant Church Street and Brighton's blissful foreshore.

A commandingly and endlessly endearing façade is complemented by lush Kate Le Page landscaping, with a superb limestone path prefacing an extraordinary, Page Stewart-designed interior beyond. From the moment you enter this home, the scale and generous proportions overwhelm, with an inspired plan finding a brilliant balance of extravagance, proportion, and real-world practicality. A broad entrance hall creates an instant impression, framed by a soaring ceiling and Chevron-patterned oak parquetry. With verdant outlooks enriching home workdays, a quiet front office features a marble-enhanced library setting, placed opposite a sumptuous lower master with walk-in dressing room and lavish ensuite.

Making for warm and cosy winter evenings with guests, a fitted wine cellar and focal gas fire enliven a formal living space, with stunning natural stone surfaces scattered throughout entwined entertaining areas. Streamlining indoor/outdoor flow, stacker glass reveals a scintillating central courtyard with radiant, self-cleaning pool, surrounded by abundant windows working to capture streams of sunlight across each level. The centrepiece of a magnificent main section, extensive quartzite spans a vast preparation bench, focal island, and brilliant butler's pantry with second-kitchen capabilities, with first-class Miele appliances handily catering for any number of social occasions. Combined family and dining zones merge with a serene backyard, offering a sublime space to enjoy a quiet coffee under morning sun.

Smartly filling an impressive void, a sculptural staircase merges storeys, reaching a tremendous upper floor with adjoining teenager's retreat and study areas. Each serviced by a walk-in robe and private bathroom, additional master and guest suites showcase the home's clever, cross-level versatility, while a luxe central bathroom accompanies a pair of generous, further bedrooms. Enjoying equally seamless access, stairs land in a considerable cinema room, with an expansive basement level comfortably housing four cars securely off-street.

With expertise in design and finish displayed through elaborate wainscotting, joinery, and curvature, additional highlights include wrought iron rails to staircase and Juliet balconies, ducted heating/cooling, mobile-integrated alarm/CCTV, plantation shutters, ducted vacuum, a full-size laundry, and ground-floor powder room. Within easy reach of Brighton's revered colleges and grammar schools, multiple railway stations, scattered parklands, and Sandbelt golf courses.
