11 Hillcrest Avenue, Brighton VIC 3186

Embrace a new beginning from this extremely spacious 5-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home in a quiet low-traffic pocket of exclusive North Brighton.

Completed in 2008 for its current owners, the home sprawls across two levels and is a setting where every room impresses with its exceptional proportions. Boasting an open plan, modern layout and filled with abundant natural light, among its standout inclusions are a choice of ensuited master bedrooms either upstairs or down (both with walk-in robes), a flexible formal lounge/office and a huge casual entertaining area where a well-equipped kitchen with freestanding Smeg oven takes centre stage. Upstairs, discover even more invaluable living space thanks to a genuine retreat with sunny north-facing balcony.

Three additional bedrooms all boast built-in wardrobes and share a bright family bathroom while a ground-floor powder room is available for guest use. Dual-zoned ducted heating and cooling keep the interiors comfortable all year long, and the home boasts plenty of storage along with a huge laundry, sheltered alfresco deck, secure backyard and double garage with indoor access.

Enrol the kids at one of the area's elite private schools - or the zoned Brighton Secondary College - move straight in and enjoy everything this privileged neighbourhood has to offer. Alternatively, elevate the residence even further with some exciting modern enhancements. The foundations and floorplan are there - simply add your own style and panache for that real Brighton 'wow' factor.

Metres from Bay Street's restaurants, cafes, boutique shops and cinema, the home is also close to North Brighton station while Nepean Hwy is easily accessible for a straight-forward workday commute.
