Property Description:
The Victorian period cottage c1880, was built on Brighton Hill, the highest point in Brighton, at the centre of a large market garden that supplied vegetable produce to Melbourne in years long past. Even today, the house stands on a large allotment, with a beautiful tranquil private garden. The lush garden is made for outdoor leisure time, with a large swimming pool, a hydro-massage spa house, and three outdoor sitting areas, including a pergola covered dining area.

The former cottage has been redesigned and extended to create a large, elegant single storey home, with additional living areas and an annexe with extra bedroom accommodation. The spacious formal guest lounge/ dining room has high ceilings with crystal chandeliers, a gas log fireplace and a mixture of modern sofas, antique furniture and original artwork. The owners' European flair is very much in evidence in the interior styling of the home.

There is also a casual living room with open fireplace, leather lounges and Foxtel television. This room opens onto the sun shaded, outdoor barbecue and entertainment area. The centre of the home is the open style kitchen, where an early light breakfast can be served for business guests who need to leave early. For guests who have time for relaxing with a book, the library has a few hundred books, on various themes, to browse.
