33 Elm Grove
Brighton

Today's excellence and yesteryear character create an idyllic home, in a leafy setting metres from Bay Street and close to schools. Built in the 1920s as the Police Chief Commissioner's residence, it's now a family oasis with zoned lounge and dining rooms, a family room, four bedrooms or three bedrooms and a spacious home office, and two newly renovated bathrooms. The street appeal is superb, and the single-level design so practical. Young families will feel at home here, with garden views from the upgraded stone kitchen and access from the family room. Or if you're looking to downsize close to cafes, shops and a train station, this is perfect. There's nothing to do but love the new look and central address. Art Deco fireplaces and ceilings in the lounge and dining rooms are beautifully restored, there's a freestanding bath in the family bathroom, and the luxe ensuite complements the main bedroom and walk-in wardrobe. Great care has gone into making this stylish and family-friendly, with a separate gym/playroom, lots of storage including an attic area, restored period features, two stainless steel ovens, and remote-control gates. Easy walk to North Brighton station, Firbank and Brighton Grammar, the beach and cafes.
