Be captivated by the distinctive style, generously proportioned spaces, and family-friendly lifestyle amenities, including a ‘secret’ cinema room and resort-style swimming pool and spa, that define this renovated four-bedroom Brighton East family residence, just moments from leading schools, Brighton Golf Course, and the beach.Privately and securely set behind high walls with automated gates and intercom entry, the 605-square-metre* property is verdantly bordered by high hedges, and the established, low-maintenance landscaped gardens are edged with bluestone paving that extends to a driveway, with off-street parking, and a double carport with a remote door. The fully renovated rendered brick home’s designer flair is immediately apparent with a striking pendant light illuminating the architectural void above the entry hall, whilst polished hardwood timber floors, plantation shutters, custom joinery and natural stone enrich the light-filled dimensions. Presenting options for zoned family living and entertaining, the floorplan is intuitive and adaptable. The elegant front lounge has an open wood fireplace, the rear open-plan living/dining area has architectural highlight windows and sliding glass door access to the alfresco deck, whilst the central hallway is lined with beautiful joinery/cabinetry including a stone-topped wet bar and a pivoting bookcase, which reveals the secret cinema room with a built-in Bose surround system.Equipped with quality appliances including a Bosch gas cooktop and Westinghouse ovens, the gleaming central kitchen has stone benchtops and the adjacent built-in stone breakfast bar, doubles as a convenient bar table for evening dining and entertaining.

Upstairs, the spaciousness and style continues with a study/retreat area, and three double-sized fitted bedrooms including the master, which has leafy treetop views, a full wall of built-in robes and a luxe fully tiled shower ensuite, and the main bathroom which has a built-in tub and walk-in shower.
