12 Clonaig Street, Brighton East VIC 3187

Rising to the treetops in highset streamlined style, this is benchmark low-maintenance luxury in Brighton East’s leafiest locale. Just five doors from the parklands on Landcox Park’s loveliest street, this architectural four bedroom, two-plus bathroom home sets the standard with a sun-bathed design that maximises northern exposure inside, outside, upstairs and down.

Offering today’s most in-demand accommodation with all you need on the ground-floor, this clever design from Place Architects offers parental privacy in a ground-floor master-domain on its own split-level, provides entertaining in garden-wrapped poolside living-dining and zones kids around a second living zone on the 1st floor. With a Bosch appliance kitchen (with dual ovens and induction cooktop) centre-stage, and a stone-finished butler’s pantry behind the scenes, this clever design places luxe fully-tiled, dual-vanity bathrooms on each level and powder-rooms front and rear.

Detailed to a demanding specification with heated polished-concrete floors, pebbled carpets and Caesarstone benchtops, there’s a sculptured stone egg-bath and a private WC for the well-designed ensuite, towering rain-sensor skylights at every turn and built-in and walk-in robes plus a storeroom. Split system air conditioning throughout combined with hydronic heating upstairs, downstairs and for the towel-rails, there’s the ease of electric block-out and sun filter blinds and the security of video-intercom, alarm, and keyless entry with double auto-garaging behind auto-gates.

Even the landscaped outdoors are specified to an exceptional standard with a rain-sensor Vergola canopy enclosing the al fresco area and an elevated BBQ kitchen around a solar-heated glass-fenced pool in the property’s sunniest northern edge. Steps to the park, a stroll to Bay St’s shopping, hospitality and station and 300m to tightly zoned Gardenvale Primary School, this is a design for the times in a lifetime location.
