About this property
A five-bedroom bayside retreat built for big families, long lunches and lazy pool days.
Tucked away on a quiet, leafy street in one of Melbourne's most sought-after bayside pockets, the Brighton Baird-House is a home that does everything well — and does it in style. This is a residence built for togetherness: a wood fire crackling in the lounge on cool evenings, a cinema room for rainy-day movie marathons, and a resort-style pool and half-court out back for endless summer afternoons. Whether you're gathering the extended family, hosting a milestone celebration, or simply after a spacious bayside base to call home for a while, the Baird-House delivers space, comfort and a genuine sense of occasion at every turn.
Step inside and the home unfolds across generous, light-filled living zones. A dedicated study offers a quiet corner for those who need to log on, while a separate sitting room and second living area give everyone room to spread out. The cinema room is ready for family movie nights, and the wood-fire lounge is the natural gathering point once the sun goes down. Ducted reverse cycle heating and cooling runs throughout both levels, so comfort is never in question, whatever the Melbourne weather is doing.
The kitchen is the true heart of the home — induction cooktop, oven, steam oven, microwave and air fryer covering every kind of cook, a filtered tap running sparkling, chilled and hot water on demand, and wine fridges plus a dedicated wine cupboard for the collectors. Pull an espresso from the Breville Barista Pro and take it out to the deck, where a 10m x 4m pool, built-in BBQ and adjustable basketball ring set the scene for effortless outdoor entertaining. A trampoline and half-court keep the kids (and the kids at heart) busy for hours, and a cupboard of board and card games in the hallway means screen-free evenings are always an option.
Upstairs, the master suite is a genuine retreat — a king bed, his-and-hers walk-in robes, and a private ensuite with separate shower, bath, toilet and his-and-hers basins. Four further queen bedrooms, each with built-in robes, offer flexible, comfortable accommodation for family or guests, serviced by two additional well-appointed bathrooms and a ground-floor powder room for convenience.
With a four-car basement garage plus easy on-street parking, and a location that puts Brighton's café strips and beaches within easy reach, the Brighton Baird-House is bayside family living at its most complete.
The Neighbourhood — Brighton East
Brighton East is one of bayside Melbourne's best-kept secrets — leafy, affluent and family-focused, sitting quietly between the prestige of Brighton and the buzz of Bentleigh, around 12km from the CBD. You get all the bayside lifestyle without the beachfront price tag: a short drive to Brighton's famous Church Street and Bay Street strips for boutique shopping, café culture and some of Melbourne's best dining, plus the golden sands of Brighton Beach and its iconic bathing boxes just around the corner. Local shops on Hawthorn Road cover the day-to-day, while nearby schools, parks and the Sandringham train line make this a location as practical as it is polished.
Sleeps up to 10 guests, plus a portable cot for the littlest ones.
