Retaining all the elegance and charm of its Victorian-era origins while celebrating the luxuries of contemporary living, this picture-perfect single-level three-bedroom Brighton residence will delight with its beautifully renovated kitchen and bathroom, open-plan living, a sundrenched, private alfresco courtyard and a separate work-from-home studio which previously was a garage from the ROW at the rear, and could be converted back to a garage.

Set behind a picket fence and lockable gate, a tessellated-tiled verandah with iron lacework detail sets the scene for the stunning century-old interiors featuring original Baltic Pine floorboards, soaring ceilings with intricate cornices and roses, and traditional fireplace surrounds. The contemporary enhancements include a gleaming floor-to-ceiling tiled bathroom with double stone vanity and ceiling heater/fan, and the light-filled open plan living and dining area headed by a gourmet kitchen with a stone island bench, Smeg freestanding cooker, and Miele dishwasher. Perfect for relaxed alfresco entertaining, glass sliding doors open out to the spacious sandstone-paved private courtyard with pergola and built-in corner decked-seating, oriented to receive northerly sun.

There is also a rear office or potential garage accessed via a ROW that is currently an additional studio/bedroom with built-in cabinetry and split system heating and cooling that could be ideal as a work-from-home space or teenager’s retreat. Additional features include rooftop solar panels, central gas ducted heating, reverse cycle heating/cooling, Euro Laundry and a storage/utility shed.

Set on a low maintenance allotment in a tranquil, leafy North Brighton street this charming home is close to Kamesburgh Gardens and an easy stroll to Martin Street cafes, Bay Street shops and stations, Elsternwick Park, and Elwood foreshore and beach. Outstanding choices for walking-distance schools include Star of the Sea College, Brighton Grammar and Firbank Grammar.
