“This trophy 5-year old Martin Friedrich home has one of the best most functional layouts I have seen in a long time, you can have the parents living on the ground floor as the master suite is on the ground along with the study, lounge rooms kitchens and laundry and have all the children living upstairs,” Sarah Case told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

“The buyers have been very excited about the 12-car basement and the huge entertaining spaces and particularly the secret wine room with a hidden door.”

“Not only do you have one of the best architects in the business working on this home, you also have one of the best builders in the business.

Cieran Kayes, who owns and runs The Edge Development Group, has been around for well over 30 years and this was his own personal home, so no expense has been spared with its solid concrete walls and floors and spectacular helical staircase climbing over 3 levels!” Sarah explained. 

“With the passenger lift, this can be a forever home as the lift accesses all 3 levels." 

"Location is AAA exclusive Brighton, with proximity to Brighton Yacht club, Church St shops, cafes and restaurants and in the heart of all Bayside’s best elite schools." 

"Late great cricketer Shane Warne owned the house next door.”

Set behind a broad 18.5m frontage with high walled security entry, a facade of concrete, iron and glass precedes equally impressive interiors where soaring double height voids and expanses of panoramic glazing create a seamless connection to the shimmering pool and lushly landscaped outdoors.

The home’s five-bedroom, five-bathroom accommodation is linked by a signature sculptural staircase which forms the focal point for a foyer entry.

Speaking to LUXURY LIST WEEKEND, Martin Friedrich said, "This is a strong statement house where a double storey raw concrete wall slices through the building. This creates a large imposing entry braced unashamedly by raw steel." 

"Strong curves both internally and externally serve to soften the fabric of the building, reflecting the classic crescents of the surrounding streets."

"Internal bridges join living zones, create libraries and spaces from which to take in the 2-storey void spaces and the basement below houses a fleet of 9 cars, entertainment zones complete with glass wall joining the pool."
