17 Summerhill Road, BRIGHTON EAST VIC 3187

Light-infused architectural space define this James Rigney-designed residence, offering European flair in an exclusive Bayside setting. A Tuscan-hued exterior, embraced by lush leafy gardens, hints at the inviting interiors, while its tranquil position on the sunlit side of one of Brighton East’s most sought after streets further enhances its immense appeal. Upon entry, you are transported to a private haven where soaring double-height ceilings and expansive glazing bathe the home in natural light, effortlessly connecting spacious living areas to the verdant surroundings. A stunning gas fireplace warms the formal lounge, which flows seamlessly to a formal dining zone and internal courtyard. The executive study also enjoys the serene garden aspect, creating an ideal space for working from home. Designed for easy indoor-outdoor living, the informal living zone extends to a terracotta-tiled, al fresco terrace in a secluded, sunlit courtyard framed by picturesque Magnolia Little Gems. Inside, the classically appointed kitchen is enhanced by granite surfaces and European appliances, while a guest powder room, full-size laundry, and access to the remote double garage complete the ground level. Take the floating bridge upstairs to the main bedroom featuring a walk-in robe, en suite, and gorgeous balcony. Two rear-set bedrooms with built-in robes and exterior shutters share a beautifully finished marble and travertine bathroom, complete with a granite vanity and spa bath. Rich Karri floors, prestige finishes, and ducted heating and cooling add to the comfort and style. Experience the architect’s signature soaring spaces and quality design in this prime position, surrounded by luxury new homes. Secured by automatic wrought-iron gates, intercom entry and an alarm, close to schools, parkland, and public transport, this is a first-class classic in a blue-chip locale.
