A significant estate of the highest calibre, 'Keyham' C1905 is a gracious Federation Queen Anne residence that has been exquisitely renovated whilst retaining the glory of its rich heritage. Occupying over 1250 square metres of blue-chip Brighton land where tall hedges and established gardens provide a private oasis of calm & privilege, the property presents a rare opportunity to stay with friends and family in one of Melbourne's most exclusive locales.



Key features:

- Stunning gardens and architecture: Entirely embraced in irrigated greenery, the home's deep return verandah provides a tantalising introduction to the simply glorious interiors. Soaring decorative ceilings, handsome panelling, herringbone parquetry and intricate leadlight are just some of the original design elements that feature through the expansive reception foyer and fireside library with bay-windowed study zone, whilst the elegant dining room with fireplace and original in-built buffet has set a refined scene for lavish soirees over the years.

- Living zones: Newly renovated and made for entertaining, the open plan living and dining area is flushed with natural light and wraps a stylish kitchen showcasing Ilve/Miele appliances. Expanses of crisp cabinetry and stone-work surfaces plus a bar area with Vintec wine fridge make this a very functional space. Glass galore ensures a visual connection with the simply breathtaking gardens amongst which is a bluestone alfresco patio and sparkling pool beneath a majestic palm plus a tranquil firepit pergola ready for endless summer enjoyment.

-Sleeping and bathing zones: Each of the four decadent bedrooms offers up its own unique appeal – two boasting stunning garden-view study zones including the master that spills through to a marble-enrobed bathroom. Two further stylishly upgraded bathrooms service the home along with a generous laundry, while the gentle warmth of hydronic heating plus the practicalities of substantial storage and an auto-gated carport conclude a home of landmark status.

- Chef's kitchen: The kitchen is modern and functional, equipped with quality appliances, stone benchtops, and ample storage, making it well suited for longer stays and family meals.

-Japanese tea room: Embrace your inner zen with this simply beautiful tea room with garden views.

- Indoor - outdoor flow: Large windows and glass doors connect the main living space to the garden and outdoor areas, where you’ll find a bluestone patio, swimming pool, and beautifully established gardens offering privacy and tranquillity. Enjoy a cook-up on your brand new Weber BBQ!



Set behind tall hedges and mature gardens, the property feels peaceful and private while remaining well connected. Brighton Beach Station, Green Point, Were Street Village, cafés, and local shops are all within walking distance, with Church Street and Hampton Street dining and shopping just a short drive away.
