5 / 87 Thomas Street
Brighton East

Bathed in northern light, attractively presented and set well back from the street, this elevated single-level villa is a superbly located lifestyle starter with impeccable downsizing credentials, in a terrific location wedged between the ritz of Bay Street Brighton and the convenience of Centre Road Bentleigh. With two bedrooms, a private wrap-around backyard and its own lock-up garage, the home evokes the feeling of a house while presenting the perfect balance of comfortable current-day livability and the potential to bring some of your own cosmetic imagination whenever your timeline allows.

With natural light filling its every corner and attractive hardwood flooring adding warmth, the lounge/dining room is an uplifting space, semi-attached to a comfortably presented kitchen that is not without scope for rejuvenation. The bedrooms are well proportioned with built-in robes, whilst the bathroom is separate to the WC and also offers scope for you to show some of your design credentials whenever you’re ready. Further highlights include a genuine laundry, vast cupboard storage, ducted heating and air conditioning for year-round comfort.

This is an ideal first home, investment or downsizing option, just a short walk to the thriving retail scene along Centre Road, Bentleigh and to McKinnon and Bentleigh train stations. And just a short drive to the golden triangle of caffeine, cardio and fine dining on Bay Street, North Brighton — with the sparkling waters of Brighton Beach only moments away.
