40 Elwood Street

Designed to capture the western sun and built for serious family living, this five-bedroom, four-bathroom family home delivers space, light and a layout that simply works. Sydney Blue Gum floors, high ceilings and a clean, timeless palette set the tone, with every bathroom in the home beautifully reimagined to the highest standard. The front formal lounge, warmed by a wood log fireplace and looking out to manicured front gardens, captures the morning sun beautifully, with a dedicated study area completing the space. Move through the home and the rear opens up entirely to reveal an open-plan kitchen, living and dining zone. Featuring Smeg and Liebherr appliances, this family zone flows out to the rear deck through a wall of bi-fold doors. A downstairs guest bedroom with an ensuite enjoys an uninterrupted view straight to the pool: private, leafy and genuinely breathtaking. Outside, multiple entertaining zones unfold alfresco dining on the deck, a sitting area and sun lounges arranged around a gas-heated pool with a water feature. A magnificent peppercorn tree anchors the garden, and on a still day, you can hear the wind move through it. Upstairs, the master suite is a genuine retreat with fitted built-in robes, a beautifully appointed ensuite and a treetop canopy outlook. Of the three further bedrooms, one features a private ensuite, while two share a well-appointed central bathroom. Additional appointments include a powder room, garden lighting and irrigation, designer handmade Articolo lighting through the entrance hall, ducted heating, reverse-cycle air conditioning, CCTV, video intercom, 10,000 litres of under-deck water storage, a large storage room and a two-car carport behind electric gates. Set on a quiet, tree-lined street within walking distance of Kamesburgh Gardens, Bay Street, Martin Street, Church Street, Brighton's Golden Mile beaches and an outstanding selection of premium schools, this is one of Brighton's most coveted addresses, and it earns the title.
