377 St Kilda Street
Brighton

Evoking the grandeur of Brighton's glamorous boom times, this century-old solid brick and stucco residence has graciously stood the test of time on 885sqm (approx.) of Golden Mile heartland. On the market for the first time in 35 years, and whilst perfectly liveable for now, the single-level, 3-4 bedroom character-rich home and its esteemed location inspire a world of future possibilities for restoration, renovation or redevelopment (STCA).

Retaining many vestiges of artisanal craftsmanship and charming features of yesteryear, soaring ceilings in the front formal rooms are adorned with intricate roses, while handcrafted leadlight windows, including curved box bay windows add depth and style to the light-filled dimensions. The classic formal dining room has a wood fireplace set within marble surrounds, and a servery hutch from the kitchen. A relatively recent enhancement to the master bedroom suite is a luxurious marble bathroom with spa bath and twin vanities. The rear, causal family area has painted original floorboards, and the traditional timber kitchen has quality appointments including an AEG double oven, a gas cooktop and dishwasher, while a northerly facing sunroom looks out to the expansively lawned rear garden.

Privately set behind a high brick wall and automatic gates, a row of majestic palms line the long driveway, and there is a double lock-up garage.

This outstanding 'Golden Mile' address is just a short walk to the Royal Brighton Yacht Club, the Bay Trail and the beach. Prestige local schools include Brighton Grammar, Firbank Grammar, Haileybury College, St Leonards College and Star of the Sea. Enjoy the relaxed, cafe-culture vibe at nearby Martin Street Village, while international and local designers are well represented in Brighton's exclusive boutique shopping strips of Bay Street and Church Street, just moments away.
