Poised for family perfection, this period residence combines enduring character with extraordinary scope in a prized North Brighton setting. Just a short stroll to Martin Street village, Gardenvale Station, leading schools and leafy parkland, with the beach nearby, it promises immediate comfort today and the irresistible prospect of transformation tomorrow.
Behind its timeless façade, a traditional layout reveals four original front rooms of impressive scale. Three bedrooms and a gracious formal lounge or fourth bedroom are distinguished by soaring ceilings, decorative roses, deep cornicing and ornate fireplaces (not currently operational). Brimming with warmth and charm, these captivating spaces provide a superb foundation for a beautiful restoration or complete reimagining in line with contemporary living.
The home extends to a more current rear domain, where a spacious living room flows to a light-filled kitchen, family and dining area, together with a bathroom and laundry. While comfortable for immediate use, this zone clearly signals potential for redesign, offering the chance to create a seamless indoor-outdoor connection with the sun-filled north-east backyard.
For those with vision, the scope here is exceptional. Options abound, from updating in stages, to reworking the rear to complement the grand proportions of the front, to embracing available council approved Eastop Architectural plans for a showstopping contemporary family oasis. Whichever path is chosen, the result promises to be truly special.
A home with heart, heritage and potential, this rare offering invites you to enjoy the comfort of today while shaping the lifestyle of tomorrow in one of Bayside’s most coveted locales, close to Elsternwick Primary, Star of the Sea, Hunt ELC, and Martin, Bay and Church Streets.
