Be captivated by this charming, 3–4-bedroom, character-filled, double-brick, circa 1925 family home set within a glorious private garden sanctuary in a prized, tightly-held Brighton neighbourhood, close to Bay Street, elite schools and Golden Mile beaches. Cherished by the same family for more than 40 years, this much-loved property of 614sqm (approx.) presents an outstanding opportunity for a new family to create their own ‘forever home’.

From the white picket fence, to the wisteria and rose draped arbour, to the stucco façade, leadlight windows, and wraparound semi-enclosed front verandah, the home is picture-perfect. Inside, the impressive dimensions and original features are instantly apparent in the wide entrance hall with timber fretwork, which leads to a front sitting room with a corner multi-pane leadlight window and working open fireplace, while the adjacent large formal dining room is flooded with northerly light. All bedrooms have built-in robes including the spacious master with garden outlook, open fireplace, ceiling fan, and built-in robes, and there are two well-appointed renovated, contemporary bathrooms, one with walk-in shower, the other with a luxuriously deep bathtub.

Designed for relaxed family entertaining, the rear open plan living/dining zone echoes the style and dimensions of the original front of the home, and has polished timber floorboards, a stylish central kitchen with Teka double oven and gas cooktop, and French doors opening to an alfresco dining deck topped with a vine covered pergola. Cocooning the property in a private cloak of greenery, the glorious rear and side gardens feature brick-paved paths, a pond, and lush mass plantings of beautiful ornamentals including cliveas and magnolias. A spacious studio with kitchenette and split-system air conditioning, could be an additional bedroom or home office.

Includes under-cover parking for two cars, wine storage cupboard, attic storage room (with pull-down ladder), laundry/butler’s pantry with fitted cabinetry including a cleaner’s cupboard and linen press and split system heating/cooling.

In the perfect family-friendly, Brighton lifestyle location, surrounded by equally beautiful homes, it’s just a four-minute walk to North Brighton Station, and Bay Street’s fabulous restaurants, shopping and cinema. It’s also a short walk to Firbank, Brighton Grammar and Brighton Primary schools.
