22 St Ninians Road

Flanking the picturesque foreshore, this extraordinary residence showcases the veteran craftsmanship and cultured palette of a first-class renovation, all in Melbourne's premier beach pocket revered across the country as Brighton's Golden Mile. With every facet considered and optimised to ensure daily life is as effortless as could be, a free-flowing floor plan sees a tranquil front living area complement sensational spaces beyond that wrap around a northern backyard to look at flora, soak in light, and seamlessly step outward. A broad dining room neighbours an open family area, with a stunning void and 360° clerestory windows letting the space feel bright and airy at all times of day. A stone-top kitchen is certain to excite the home chef, with a wide, waterfall island centre-stage among a herringbone marble splashback, combined butler's pantry/laundry, top-of-the-range Liebherr Monolith fridge, freezer, and wine fridge, and Miele induction cooktop, pyro and steam ovens, and Miele integrated dishwasher. Encompassed by greenery, a considerable backyard sees a sublime alfresco offer a barbecue kitchen for heightened hospitality prowess, motorised retractable shade, adjoining a large pool with its own shower and powder room, brilliant for making the most of blue-sky afternoons alongside friends and family. Occupying its own wing on the ground level, a vast main bedroom features a full-size dressing room and lavish ensuite with a stunning, raked ceiling, while above, a robe-lined third bedroom, professional's office/fourth bedroom, and chic central bathroom accompany an oversized guest room with a robe, study desk, and terrace taking in bay and city views. Other highlights include twin basins, a soaker bath, Apaiser fit out, and high-grade marble across both bathrooms, gas fireplace, heated floors and hydronic wall panels, reverse-cycle heating/cooling, hardwood floors, ceiling-integrated Sonos and Bose audio, solar pool heating, front and back garden water features, security entry, alarm, and cameras, under-stair storage, a downstairs powder room, shed, double garage, and electric-gated parking for two added cars. Opposite a hidden path to place sand, sea, and the scenic Bay Trail mere seconds away, it's close to lively Martin, Bay, and Church Streets, Sandbelt golf courses, the Baths and Yacht Club, and elite private schools.
