16 Rusden Street
Brighton

Ideally positioned just moments from expansive parkland and a host of Bayside’s most coveted lifestyle and liveability amenities, this architecturally striking three-bedroom, two-bathroom contemporary Brighton residence will delight with its high-end fit-out and light-filled living and entertaining spaces.

Offering the best of both worlds, this enviable location is within a few minutes’ walk to city-bound trams and trains as well as the Yalukit Willam Nature Reserve and Elsternwick Park. Curved walls, a double-height entry void, and a skylit upper-level mezzanine endorse the generously proportioned home’s architectural splendour, bathed in an abundance of natural light. Polished hardwood timber flooring flows through the ground level, where there are two defined living zones allowing for adaptive space and entertaining amenity. The front living area has glass sliding doors opening to a neatly landscaped bluestone-paved courtyard, while the rear open plan area, helmed with a gourmet stone/Bosch kitchen, opens out to a north-west facing undercover alfresco deck and courtyard garden. A sculptural open timber staircase leads to the skylit upper level, where the main bedroom suite incorporates a north facing balcony with neighbourhood treetop outlooks, a walk-through robe, and a lavishly light filled floor-to-ceiling tiled ensuite with twin vanity, a freestanding bath, a walk-in shower, underfloor heating and a heated towel rail. Additional highlights include the generously sized second bedroom with curved wall detail, a mezzanine study nook, a guest powder room, a laundry with external access, split system heating/cooling, security alarm, and secure auto-gated driveway with laneway access.

This exclusive pocket of North Brighton,on the edge of Elwood and Elsternwick, is close to Elwood Village, Martin Street, and Bay Street shopping, cafes and boutiques, with the Bay Trail and a choice of excellent beaches also close by. Zoned for Elsternwick Primary School, the home is also close to Star of the Sea College with Brighton’s choice of elite private schools, including Brighton Grammar and Firbank Grammar nearby.
