1/15-17 Bent Street

A rare offering in this landmark BPM-built, Rob Mills Architects-designed group, this three bedroom plus home-office, 3.5 bathroom, multi-zone home is made even more rare by its impressive streetfront position and easy street access. Potentially a once-in-lifetime opportunity to hold the premier streetfront position in this timeless palm-fringed group, this exceptional residence rises over three levels with an immensely adaptable multi-zone design linked by a sinuous stair and lift. Opening with vast garden-view formal and workspace areas plus a window-walled north-facing entertainment zone, this grand design adapts to changing lifestyles with a versatile theatre-lounge at basement level...while, above a dedicated bedroom domain promises peace and privacy with a breathtaking dressing-room-centred master-domain. Offering genuine full-suite accommodation with private ensuite for every bedroom (a deluxe dual-vanity main for the master), the home is designed to entertain in every season. Opening with a plush formal lounge flowing through arched French-doors to the walled front garden, the home opens northwards through soaring full-height double-glazing to offer indoor-outdoor living across an awning-shaded area in the Paul Bangay designed water-feature garden. Starring a state-of-the-art Miele appliance kitchen beyond a massive dining-bench, the home's interiors are curated to an uncompromising architectural specification with limestone flagstone floors meeting velvety wool carpets, Caesarstone benchtops on Blum cabinetry, and bespoke joinery including full height robe and dressing-room fit-outs. In this grand design a clever fitted home-office hides behind a 'secret' slide-away wall, elliptical feature windows light the iron-balustraded stair on two levels, plantation-shutters enclose private spaces, and a full-height racking wraps the basement wine-cellar. Climate controlled over individual zones with a glowing gasfire for the two main living zones, the home is secured by video-intercom and alarm, and appointed with ducted vacuum and irrigation systems. Offering at least five secure basement garaging to fit the biggest fleet (plus gym, storage and more), this is the standard and scale on which the most high-calibre lock-and leave lifestyle is calibrated. Beautifully positioned within a walk of the central Brighton private schools, and both Bay St and Church St's cafe society and stations, even this location is Gold Standard within easy reach of the famous bathing-box beach and a 21 minute rail commute to the CBD.
