23A Grosvenor Street, Brighton

Timeless Elegance Meets Contemporary Grandeur

Steeped in history as the oldest residence in the prestigious Grosvenor Estate precinct, “Lartington” (c1887) has been completely reimagined as a sophisticated, light-filled – and truly unrivalled - family sanctuary. Masterfully blending timeless Victorian elegance with contemporary style and refinement, every element has been meticulously selected to deliver comfort, privacy and understated luxury, all in a truly sought-after pocket, just off the Golden Mile.  

Beyond its classic façade with Old English tessellated verandah and exquisite original windows, the residence opens to sun-swept spaces enhanced by soaring ceilings and chic herringbone oak flooring. 

Upon entry, the home’s scale and calibre are immediately evident - the eye instantly drawn to the rear of the accommodation, where an entire wall of ceiling-height glass frames views of the manicured garden and sparkling pool in travertine surrounds.  

Included is a ground floor primary suite with luxuriously appointed ensuite, fitted walk-in robe & banquette window seat with idyllic garden views. From here, a sundrenched hall leads down to the home’s incredible living/dining domain and kitchen, while a staircase ascends to the separate children’s wing – both zones thoughtfully designed for peaceful relaxation or effortless entertaining.  

Miele cooking appliances – including an induction cooktop – and an integrated fridge/freezer and dishwasher are highlights of the unforgettable first-class kitchen, which is anchored by a lengthy Mont Blanc natural stone island and boasts substantial amounts of storage, including a butler-style pantry.

Premium Braemar carpeting can be found in the upstairs retreat and all four bedrooms. Each of the children’s bedrooms benefit from bespoke built-in wardrobing and they share a beautifully appointed family bathroom and separate powder room.  

A home that will continue to impress well beyond your first inspection, among its standout features are 3-zone ducted heating/cooling, hydronic heating (in-slab living/dining zone), an Escea fireplace, laundry with chute, double glazed windows and a 7kw solar panel array. The pool is solar heated and has an inground thermal cover, while also offered are an electric awning, attic storage with dropdown ladder, motorised skylights, app-enabled garden irrigation, gas BBQ plumbing and lockable storage shed – all behind remote-controlled gates.  

Iconic Brighton Beach and the Yacht club are at the end of the street, Church & Bay streets are close by and this premier address is within steps of Brighton Grammar, Firbank Grammar, bus stops and Middle Brighton station.
