24 Hornby Street
Brighton East

Presenting an extraordinarily rare opportunity in a prized pocket of Brighton East, this expansive 1,590* square metre property has been held by the same family for 80 years, and features a character-rich four-bedroom brick home surrounded by sprawling, established parkland-like gardens, inspiring a world of possibilities to renovate or redevelop (STCA).

One of the few remaining landholdings of this size, (more than 1/3rd of an acre approx.), in this leafy neighbourhood, close to Hawthorn Road trams and Hurlingham Park, the classic single-level red brick home, which was originally built circa-1950, with later architectural additions and extensions, is designed to draw in maximum northerly light with large picture windows and French Doors opening to sun-drenched terraces edging the main living and dining areas. Original features such as ornate cornices and fireplace endorse the home’s character and quality, which has stood the test of time over generations. Extending through a series of ‘garden rooms’, the private and tranquil gardens, established in the early 1950s incorporate bluestone edging, veggie patches, lawn areas, and shady trees creating a veritable oasis like setting.

Additional features include split system heating/cooling, central heating, outside access WC, light-filled workshop, and a single garage.

Perfectly positioned, this exceptional property is within the Gardenvale Primary School & Brighton Secondary College zones, and is also close to Bayside’s elite private schools including Firbank Grammar, Brighton Grammar and St Leonard’s College. Moments from Hawthorn Road shops and tram, close to Hurlingham Park, and Elster Creek walking trail, vibrant cafes and local shopping strips.
