104/49 Montclair Avenue, Brighton VIC 3186

An address defined by the exclusive Bayside’s lifestyle and its Parisian muse, Mode de Vie is the latest collaboration from developer Kervale, with architecture by Martino Leah and interiors by the acclaimed Brahman Perera. Within a brand-new, boutique setting of only ten residences, this first-floor apartment strikes a rare balance of intimacy and sophistication, framed by a tree-lined outlook that brings an unexpected sense of privacy and serenity to its address on the edge of Martin Street Village.

Engineered oak floors run beneath high ceilings, drawing the eye through open living and dining areas that connect with a broad, north-facing terrace. Light streams across the interiors throughout the day, creating a seamless flow, while the kitchen adds a refined edge with granite benchtops, an oak extension for casual meals, integrated Miele appliances, and an integrated Fisher & Paykel fridge/freezer. The result is a generous and private environment that works as comfortably for everyday living as it does for entertaining on a larger scale.

Well-sized and beautifully appointed, both bedrooms feature built-in robes, with the main one extending to the balcony. The central bathroom is well-appointed with bespoke joinery, complemented by thoughtful storage, a European laundry, and a study nook that enhances day-to-day living. Secure basement parking with lift access, video intercom entry, storage cage, and split-system heating and cooling enhances the exclusivity of this chic Bayside haven, located just minutes from the beach and seconds from Bay Street dining, the Golden Mile shoreline, city-bound transport, and elite schools.
