Tucked between Brighton’s sought-after beachfront and buzzing Church Street, 6-8 Elwood Street is a true statement of architectural excellence—vast yet personal, sophisticated yet effortlessly relaxed. Designed by renowned architects SJB, this five-bedroom family residence unfolds across some 1,890sqm of pristine, palm-fringed grounds, making it one of Brighton’s most exceptional homes.
Flawlessly finished with neutral marble, artisanal timber slat ceilings, and sleek cabinetry, its interiors are designed for both grandeur and comfort. From basement to first floor, an elevator connects a suite of beautifully proportioned living spaces, including a dining room for up to 14, a state-of-the-art kitchen with a six-metre stone island and Wolf appliances, and an expansive wine cellar with a Sub-Zero fridge. Three airy bedrooms with leafy ground-floor views and sleek walk-in robes are exceeded only by the upstairs master, with its supersized dressing area, laundry chute and concealed drop-down TV. A spa-like family bathroom with twin sinks, an office (or potential fifth bedroom), and a luxe gym and wellness space, plus a home theatre and entertainment room with built-in bar, complete the all-encompassing floorplan.
Outside, resort-style amenities set the scene for unforgettable entertaining. A striking 20-metre (approx.), palm-lined infinity pool with a spa, sunken lounge, and fire pit sits alongside a full-size tennis court and al fresco shower. A separate entertainment wing with a stone kitchen, two bathrooms, and a prestige Sonos sound system is designed for seamless hosting. And below, parking for eight cars in a gallery-esque basement garage that, like everything in this truly extraordinary family home, has struck just the right balance between deep substance and high style.
