153 South Road
Brighton

Pristine and perfectly maintained three-bedroom home is outstanding for low-maintenance living, 180 metres from shops and a stroll to the beach and trains. There's nothing to do but enjoy the spaciousness of separate lounge and dining rooms, three bedrooms and a study, and a renovated Smith & Smith kitchen and bathroom. Surrounded by a landscaped front garden, north-facing hedged courtyard and undercover deck, the double-brick house dates back to the Art Deco era and retains its classic features including a brick-surround open fireplace, etched glass doors, timber floors and decorative plasterwork. Today's features include Miele kitchen appliances, ducted heating, reverse-cycle air conditioner, ceiling fans and the convenience of attic storage. The well-designed bathroom features a marble vanity, heated towel rail and frameless shower, the study is light-filled and has courtyard views, and the deck with cafe blinds is the perfect place for year-round relaxing. Walk to schools and Hampton Street's shops and cafes in minutes, take a stroll down South Road to Brighton Beach station for easy commuting, and love living this close to restaurants, gourmet food stores and the bay.
