11 Collington Avenue, Brighton, Vic 3186

Standing tall, exuding grandeur, and conveying the stature accompanying every Jon Friedrich original, this bespoke residence is a masterpiece of large-family design. Flexibility is abundant, comfort is unrivalled, and proportion, craftsmanship, and opulence exist in perfect harmony, bringing the height of luxury to the prestige surrounds of Church Street Hill.

Lush gardens, a two-storey stance, and sculpted architectural lines leave a lasting impact on the leafy cul-de-sac, with a double-door entrance making an impression of its own. Herringbone parquetry guides an inviting hallway past a quiet lounge, study/theatre room, powder room, and robe-lined guest room, reaching a remarkable rear domain taking hospitality in its stride. The finest stone, a 900mm ILVE cooker, pair of Miele dishwashers, and expansive butler’s area/laundry accompany a kitchen exceptional in every sense, while living, dining, and backyard settings merge to streamline entertaining. A complete outdoor kitchen, streams of northern sun, and a standalone cabana with an open wood fire and bathroom make for unforgettable parties and large-scale celebrations, all centred around a statement pool heated for year-round use.

With three skylights pouring sun across the stairwell, a light-filled upper level hosts accommodation that’s sumptuous to its core, headlined by a main bedroom with walk-in and built-in robes, a fireside sitting area, sunset vistas, and a triple-skylit ensuite with a spa bath. Bedrooms three, four, and five all enjoy their own mirrored robe and ensuite, while other highlights include solar energy with a Tesla battery, under-floor heating, reverse-cycle heating/cooling, camera/alarm security, integrated audio, three gas fireplaces, plentiful storage, and a triple garage.

A few doors from Church Street famous for its cuisine, shopping, nightlife, and overarching vibrancy, it’s only footsteps to Dendy Village, pristine parks, and Middle Brighton Station, with St Leonard’s, Haileybury, and Star of the Sea Colleges, Brighton and Firbank Grammar, world-renowned golf courses, and the golden sands of Brighton Beach.
