1/42c Head Street

Steps from the water's edge and sweeping greenery of Elsternwick Park, this NTF Architecture-designed residence is a study in how boutique living should be executed. Relishing absolute privacy, a sun-drenched aspect and a rooftop terrace with panoramic vistas, it places Bayside's finest lifestyle firmly at your feet. Secured within an exclusive group behind video intercom entry, a private basement double garage with internal access sets the standard from arrival, while north-facing interiors offer proportion and natural light, creating indoor-outdoor connections over three exquisite levels. On the entry floor, expansive open-plan living and dining areas with 3m-high ceilings extend through full-height stacked sliding glass to a choice of decked terraces, one with an integrated BBQ and built-in seating, naturally progressing for al-fresco entertaining. A gas pebble fireplace sits within custom storage, a timber screen concealing the television behind a composition that flows directly into the marble kitchen, appointed with Miele appliances, including dual ovens, integrated refrigeration, an integrated dishwasher, and a scullery with generous storage. Below, a second living room with split-system heating and cooling opens to a sunken private courtyard, benefitting from the building's intelligent light-letting design, whilst above it all, a motorised glass hatch ascends to a substantial rooftop terrace with irrigated garden borders and endless views. Three bedrooms with robes sit on the upper level, including the lavish main suite, which enjoys a northern aspect, a gallery of fitted walk-in robes, and a deluxe ensuite with underfloor heating. A chic wet-room main bathroom follows, further elevating the uncompromising design, finished with zoned reverse-cycle heating/cooling, double glazing, 100% wool carpets, recessed sheer curtains, a powder room, and a full-sized laundry. Perfectly positioned to reap the benefits of a life of leisure and luxury, with the park moments away, Elwood and Brighton beaches within a short stroll, and the cafes and restaurants of Martin Street and Bay Street within easy reach, offering direct city access via North Brighton and Gardenvale train stations.
