42 Regent Street, Brighton East

Striking Design that has Stood the Test of Time

A home that instantly captivates then leaves a lasting impression, this glorious family residence occupies a full and fabulous 617sqm (approx) block in a prized pocket close to parklands & recreation. Built to last in the late 1970s, the one-of-a-kind property stands out from the crowd thanks to the use of warm timber, sleek concrete – both exposed and structurally – together with expanses of glass creating a visual & actual connection with the expansive gardens.

The light-lavished interiors make an immediate statement with soaring timber-lined cathedral ceilings and a glorious swirling staircase that rise above the formal fireside lounge. Stepping up, the layout leads through to a rear entertaining zone which features two massive sets of sliding doors that can be thrown open to connect inside with the huge, heated pool and adjacent lawn.

Hosts will love the scale of the kitchen which has been updated to feature chic charcoal cabinetry, stone benchtops and quality stainless steel appliances including a double oven and dish-drawer – while also on the ground floor is a study that enjoys access out to a north-facing front garden. Upstairs, a landing space provides another work-from-home option – on this level are the four generous bedrooms all with the customizable comfort of a split system and offering ample built-in storage. The main bedroom has the luxury of its own ensuite and a pool-view balcony, while a sleek family bathroom with separate WC completes this upper level. Practicalities include a poolside shower & WC in the generous laundry along with a further guests’ powder room. Ample storage, ducted heating and a large double garage are also on offer, while off-street parking and video intercom entry rounds off an impressive property. Doors to the Lucas Street playground, a walk to both Haileybury & St Leonard’s colleges, the home is close to Hampton Street and Church Street boutique shopping & restaurants and near buses for a straightforward trip to Brighton Beach station & the bay.
