30 Elm Grove, Brighton VIC 3186

Combining award-winning, magazine-quality design and a leafy blue-chip location, this substantial single-level home sets the standard in both style and lifestyle. Renovated in spectacularly pool-focused style, this 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home offers a well-zoned design with a private master wing quietly to the rear, two living areas around a state-of-the-art kitchen, and more living outdoors beyond dual sets of bi-folds.

The home’s centrepiece is the cutting-edge kitchen that won Olivia Cirocco of GIA Renovations the title of KBDi Kitchen Designer of the Year 2023. An well-crafted workspace with Onyx Verde Smartstone benchtops on fluted 2-Pack cabinetry, this cutting-edge kitchen features elite appliances - including Pitt in-bench burners beneath a sleek Sirius in-roof rangehood, a Miele dishwasher, an integrated Fisher and Paykel fridge, and pyrolytic and combi ovens. There’s even a touch of whimsy with a tumbled-marble fan-mosaic curve feature below the bench and a sun-catching window-shelf above the cabinetry.

Impeccably detailed with the latest satin-finished Tasmanian Oak floors and the coolest stone benchtops, the home stars a luxe fully-tiled bathroom and ensuite, bespoke storage including streamlined robes plus lined and lit attic-storage, and an auto-operated Velux skylight for the second bedroom. High-tech appointed with hydronic heating plus reverse-cycle air-conditioners and a warming woodfire heater, the home is secured by video-intercom plus 4-camera CCTV, sound-wired to entertain inside and out, and fully-wired with electrician-installed Ubiquiti internet modem and wireless for internet coverage inside and out.
Overlooking gardens created by landscape architects, Sabo Design, dual decks (one with a panel-heating and an auto-awning for year-round entertaining) wrap a second al fresco kitchen with a gas-plumbed BBQ, Rhino fridge and stainless-steel moulded bench and sink! This fully irrigated designer landscape includes a feature green-wall on view from dining, two-car auto-gated parking with clever moveable screening.

Most spectacularly of all, the grounds include a glass-mosaic-tiled pool and spa featured in design magazine Poolside Showcase. Set behind invisible glass fencing with luxuriously durable natural Egyptian Limestone and Bluestone surrounds and a gentle spout water-feature, this high-tech pool offers top-of-the-range utility with self-cleaning and dual (solar and gas) heating operation, top-of-the-range Viron Smartphone automation, and a Naked Pools’ Freshwater system.

North-side of one of Brighton’s most famously leafy addresses, this winning single-level home is situated to take advantage of cafe society and commuter living in equal measure; with Gardenvale and North Brighton stations within an easy walk (around 750 metres), Bay St’s latte strip and Martin St village equally close, Star of the Sea and Saint James Primary School around the corner, and the Golden Mile’s soon-to-be-revitalised North Point Cafe within a stroll.
