TOP 5 Brighton Homes (No.2)
Hollywood style...
General Features
PRICE RANGE: Approx $4.5 Million
Kool car to match!
Horse in the foyer, priceless!
Stylish, boho, all that...
This is my favorite room, wow!
I imagine you'd entertain a lot if you were a celebrity!
AND here's what the Agent said about!
(quite a bit!)
"HOLLYWOOD" ON NORTH
It’s a slice of Hollywood on North Road, two gates, circular drive, a mansion of classic contemporary style.
Step inside and the show begins.
SCENE ONE
Ground Floor.
Floor to ceiling windows throughout create a home bathed in light.
The entrance hall has a soaring ceiling, handsome staircase, and travertine floor. The design clean lines, 50’s inspired by George Dome. Think LA, think Frank Sinatra, think, this is FABULOUS.
The formal entertaining with outlook to the pool has a marble open fire stretching the width of the room. Floor is of dark timber, walls white, options for this large space unlimited. Lounge, dinner party, entertain or just chill. A powder room and cloakroom are adjacent.
Sequestered in the corner, a door leads to a large study, secluded and private, with built in cabinetry and window wall to an enclosed garden.
The kitchen is large, functional and beautiful. Thick marble tops, central bench, the best of appliances and well thought out and expansive cabinetry. It all makes cooking a joy, and the living easy. Extensive laundry/utility leads off this space.
Adjacent is the second living zone. Again the ceiling soars, airy and spacious sandwiched between pool and garden outlooks. The windows rise to meet the eight metre ceilings. Large dining zone leads to a family/lounge area with TV. Kick back, rest and repose.
A corridor leads to a separate self-contained large studio space. Currently a gym and sitting room. It has open fireplace, storage, garden outlook, ensuite bathroom and total privacy. Possibilities abound, home theatre, guest quarters, kids zone or gym.
SCENE TWO
Second Floor
Up the sweeping staircase, the show continues. The master bedroom is enormous with massive balcony, walk in expansive dressing room and large marble ensuite, all fit for a star.
A gallery of doors and openings off the long hallway accommodate the rest of the cast, 3 double bedrooms all with built in robes and intercom. There is a central bathroom, separate first floor study area and huge balcony. A large laundry room with ample storage is on this level. At the end of the hallway there is a second staircase offering first floor access from the rear from the property
SCENE THREE
Gardens, that pool and the rest.
Landscaped gardens literally surround the property, mature trees, beautiful shrubs, herb garden, stunning pool, auto chlorinated and set in sandstone.
The outdoor entertaining is substantial, “pool side�? its ready for a party. “Fernery side�?, draped in green sits the barbeque, concealed at the rear a “private garden�? retreat & from the study a private bougainvillea filled “paved courtyard�? of colour.
There is reverse cycle ducted heating and cooling throughout. The garage with automated door has direct internal access to the house. It easily accommodates two large vehicles and offers considerable storage.
CLOSING CREDITS
This is a piece of LA in Melbourne. Positioned within 2 minutes walk of Brighton beach, “Hollywood�? offers privacy, sophistication, style and fun. It is a solid, sizable beauty of a property, and behind its walls a luxury lifestyle beckons. One any movie star, starlet, leading man or extra would simply love.

It has began
The college football season began last night. While my first Alma mater, Southern Miss, did not play well at all, this is still an exciting time of the year. After spending parts or all of the season working with football teams at Southern Miss and Auburn as an athletic trainer during the middle of the past decade, it's nice to be a fan and just watch the games. However, many people take college football way too seriously, and forget that these are 18-22 year old student athletes. They are not paid to play football like players in the NFL. In addition to the countless hours spent on the practice field, film room, and game room, they also have to take 5-7 classes a semester. They are going to make mistakes on the field, and many fans get extremely upset when this happens. It's ok to get excited when good things happen and upset when they don't, but the outcome of a football game should not affect your mood for the entire week or cause you to yell derogatory comments at the players or other fans. Enjoy the game, but when it's over, remember that it is just that, a game.

TOP 5 Brighton Homes (No.1)
Toorak in Brighton...
General Features
PRICE RANGE: Approx $8 Million (unconfirmed)
This is a very grand home, high ceilings,
ornate (likely original) architectural features like cornices.
Hardly a modern area, obviously a 70's sunroom add on,
but still charming in the context of the home.
Tho, i'm no fan of swags, even in a home like this!
And of course, swimming and tennis!
AND here's what the Agent said about it!
Unique Luxury Estate in the heart of Brighton
One of Melbourne's finest residences - with links to composer/pianist Percy Grainger and Dame Nellie Melba - 'Lansdowne' combines Victorian elegance with modern comfort. Set on a massive 30,500sqft/2834sqm in the heart of Brighton, close to prestigious schools, beaches and Bay/Church Streets, it offers the perfect blend of grand family living. A light-filled Ashcroft conservatory overlooking fernery and pool, north/south tennis court with gym and cabana area, poolside bathroom, a large garden shed, low maintenance gardens and a self-contained apartment by the pool occupy the outside area. Inside is modern and bright, and comprises of a formal dining room with working fireplace, library, combined lounge/TV room, underground cellar, large laundry, modern spacious kitchen with Miele appliances and separate butler's pantry. Upstairs hosts 6 large bedrooms located in three 'wings', the master with twin walk-in robes and adjoining main bathroom with spa. Two additional bathrooms, built-in robes in all rooms and a large linen closet for added storage. Carpeted throughout, with all quality curtains, fixtures and light fittings included. A luxurious and private residence hidden away behind a wall of huge Moreton Bay Figs.
6 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms (spa), lounge room, library + self-contained flat (with ensuite)

This week, I'm going to just post Brighton homes,
there are so many right now, it's too easy!!!
Lansdowne,
this home looks so Toorak at first,
but I guess Brighton has it's fair share of older stately homes too!

Contemporary Dinnerware
Do you ever go to fancy restaurants and wish you can buy the dinnerware? The ones that are so cool and make everything look better? Well, we saw some at the Dallas show and we thought we'd share it with you. It's so cool, and not too expensive either. The line is made in Germany--very contemporary and sleek.
Here are some examples:
You can buy them directly at the vendor's web site. They are sold in Euro.
