Cashed-up homebuyers in search of a prestige property loaded with upmarket features will find it easy to fall in love with this bayside residence.
Yes, La Rochelle has the external French architectural flourishes, the fashionable Brighton address and ample living room, but there is far more to this 10-year-old home than an exotic moniker.
Literally, from top to bottom it has something to offer. In the case of the former it is an attic retreat with views of Port Phillip Bay. And in the latter instance, it is a basement with enough space for up to 10 cars.
Such an area is also big enough to stage a family gathering or a party.
But wait there’s more – including four generous bedrooms, a study, spotted-gum and parquetry timber floors, an eye-catching staircase, a lift connecting four levels, an in-ground 14-metre pool as well as an entertainer’s kitchen with all the bells and whistles.
Multiple communal zones include a formal living and dining area with a carved limestone gas fireplace as well as an open-plan family/meals/kitchen space and adjoining covered outdoor entertaining zone.
Among the top-end fixtures and fittings are an imported French pendant light in the entry hall, a French chandelier to the dining area, French door hinges as well as imported Italian floor and wall tiles, which feature throughout the home.
Prospective homebuyers will further note the property is within walking distance of Brighton beach’s famed bathing boxes, upmarket Church Street’s shops and Brighton station.
Also handy are a variety of schools and parks.
Buxton Real Estate sales agent Lisa Comben describes La Rochelle as a “pretty special property’’.
“It offers an integrous quality build with stunning lifestyle benefits,’’ Ms Comben says.
“Its highlights are its French styling and the staircase leading to the rooftop terrace with bay views. The exceptional benefit for many people will be the 10-car basement garage.’’
The sales agent says the 638sqm property will appeal to a “demographic that appreciates quality’’.
“It will suit somebody with no family or quite a significant family,’’ Ms Comben says. “It meets the needs of various demographics.”
She says La Rochelle has attracted “very strong interest’’ from prospective buyers including those from interstate and overseas.
