Dramatically positioned behind double-doors at the end of the soaring oculus-lit hallway-lobby, this possible three bedroom, dual-suite, 2.5 bathroom home offers breath-taking dual zone living - set across the full-width of the block, and bracketed by gardens on two-sides. Immensely adaptable with formal and casual zones wrapping the awning-shaded entertainers' courtyard in French-doored style, this elegant home unfolds beyond an impressive entry with a choice of two 5 star suites (both with vast bedrooms and deluxe ensuite, one with a dressing room and private courtyard and auto block out blinds) plus a library-sized home office easily transformed to a third bedroom. Returned to original perfection with new paintwork, and freshly polished recycled-messmate parquetry, this gracious single-level home offers a rich curation of fine timbers and natural stones with limestone benchtops for the state-of-the-art Smeg appliance kitchen, dramatic black marble for the glamorous bathrooms, and fitted storage including a walk-in pantry plus butler's/laundry. With timeless plantation shutters filtering lush garden views at every turn, the home offers a wealth of contemporary comfort with all-new ducted climate-control plus a feature gas fireplace, video intercom entry plus an individual alarm, and lift access to a private double basement garage with a huge storeroom. Secluded directly above basement garaging and beyond an iron-gated streetfront entry, this elite apartment is no more than 50m to beach access with the famous Dendy St bathing boxes just a little way along the sand. Four blocks to Were Street village's providores and lattes, and 300m to Brighton Beach station, all the best of blue-chip beachside life is in reach including Church Street and the central Brighton schools just one stop down the line.

Loved for its community spirit, leafy Hector Street joins a long-standing Gleditsia in framing a façade that's quick to captivate, with interiors beyond extended to ensure comfort from the very outset. A bay-window front sitting/dining room is the perfect counterpart to an architect-designed rear extension, with evergreen outlooks and a series of skylights bringing calm and airiness to daily life.

Tall Magnolia and Manchurian pear trees deliver complete privacy to a child-friendly backyard, while stone benches and Miele appliances ensure a gourmet kitchen can comfortably cater for any occasion. Both extensive and expansive, accommodation comprises four substantial bedrooms, joined on a light-filled second storey by generous robe storage, an oversized central bathroom with a spa bath, ensuite in a sumptuous main bedroom, and green views to wake up to. An acoustically treated office proves just as ideal for home professionals as school-age children, while a long list of other highlights includes solid timber floors, ducted heating, split-system heating/cooling, heated towel rails, camera/alarm security, surround-sound, stone vanity tops, tank irrigation, garden lighting, a front-room fireplace, garage, and gated driveway parking for two added cars. Only a few doors from William Street Reserve for kids to expend their energy, it's mere footsteps to Brighton Primary, the local library, revered Brighton and Firbank Grammar Schools, trains providing easy city access, and the cafés, restaurants, bars, boutiques, and cinemas spanning North and Middle Brighton, with the foreshore mere moments away.
