Brighton mansion with Block-designed pool asks $8.25m
The grand five-bedroom home at 29 Tennyson St is turning heads in one of Brighton's most tightly held pockets.
The lavish property features a full suite of lifestyle extras including a home cinema, wine room, lift and six-car garage.
Listed with Buxton Brighton director Andrew Campbell, the property spans about 80sq m across three lift-connected levels, with hydronically heated marble floors, bespoke ironwork, designer lighting and a landscaped pool zone from The Block star Dave Franklin.

Mr Campbell said the home's level of craftsmanship was among the best he'd seen in 15 years selling in the area.
'You walk through the door and instantly know, this is bulletproof,' Mr Campbell said.
'It's solid, timeless, and immaculately built.
'Honestly, you'd think it was completed yesterday.'
Constructed about a decade ago, the chateau-style residence also features a formal dining room with bar, a Lacanche kitchen with Miele-equipped butler's pantry, multiple fireplaces and a vast master suite with dressing room, French limestone gas fireplace and spa ensuite.
The property's lower-ground level includes a home theatre, wet bar, wine room and gym, all with direct lift access from the six-car basement.
Mr Campbell said the home's location in the beachside cul-de-sac between Tennyson and Cannan streets placed it 'in an even better lifestyle pocket than the Golden Mile'.
'It's 100m to the Bathing Boxes, and you've got both Church St and Were St precincts within walking distance,' he said.
'There's a real lifestyle aspect here that prestige buyers are connecting with.'
The campaign follows the recent $9.1m sale of Rathgar, a five-bedroom estate just down the road at 24 Tennyson St, a result The Buxton Brighton director said had reignited momentum in the suburbs top end.
'We've got interest from Paris, Noosa, and high-net-worth buyers in China,' Mr Campbell said.
There's global attention on Brighton again, and that gives confidence to local buyers as well.'
Despite its 650sq m block, the home's clever three-level design allows for expansive living without feeling oversized.
'That balance of luxury and liveability is rare,' Mr Campbell said.
'It's the kind of home that doesn't change hands often, the vendor's had it for a decade, and that longevity says a lot about how well it lives.'
Mr Campbell said he'd pursued the listing for several years, having long admired the property's quality and position.
'I followed up with the vendor for close to four years. I always believed it had a special story, and I wanted the chance to represent it properly when the time came,' he said.
He added that prestige buyers in the $5m-plus range were less affected by interest rate fluctuations, instead prioritising privacy, lock-and-leave convenience and lifestyle features.
'At this level, it's not about lending, it's about lifestyle,' he said.
'This home nails that brief.'
The home is listed for private sale with $7.5m-$8.25m price hopes.
