House - Property ID: 785437
Arguably one of the most significant period estates in Bayside today, and certainly one of the grandest homes in the Brighton school precinct, Melville c.1880 includes a notable single-level Victorian mansion, recreation buildings, a fully-tiled auto-clean pool and spa, mod-grass tennis court and 4 car garaging within its formally landscaped approx 3014sqm grounds.
Offering family accommodation on a grand scale, this six bedroom plus home-office, 7.5 bathroom home provides smartly zoned multi-suite accommodation with a bedroom wing culminating in a lofty poolside master domain (with dressing-room and double ensuite) and an entertaining zone set beyond a central water-feature courtyard.
The ultimate entertainer, this high-impact home features gracious formal lounge and dining rooms, a vast games-room (incorporating a 9-seat theatre) and an expansive northerly-oriented family area with multiple spaces to lounge and dine around a Rosieres and Corian kitchen. With a poolside al fresco pavilion and BBQ kitchen extending entertainment outdoors and a change-room and a separate mirrored gym extending recreation beyond the tennis court, this remarkable home has a uniquely practical approach too - with a butler's pantry for the kitchen, play-room beside the garage and every conceivable appointment throughout.
Appointed with C-Bus Home automation, zoned air-conditioning and hydronic heating, the home has video-intercom, security and ducted vacuum systems, a mix of gas and open fireplaces (even for the gym) and significant underground water-storage. In the heart of the school circuit at an iconic address, this notable home offers grace, grandeur and an entertaining life with Church St within a walk, the bay within a jog and the city within a relaxed beachfront commute.
