What's around 8 Hillcrest Avenue

Create a Californian Dream or Contemporary Showpiece

Gracing a sun-drenched corner just steps from Bay Street’s vibrant lifestyle precinct, this classic Californian Bungalow on 606sqm (approx) of blue-chip land holds the key to an exciting Brighton future. Brimming with comfort, charm and coveted potential, it offers the freedom to create a period showpiece through renovation and extension, or to start anew with your own contemporary family sanctuary (STCA). Occupying a prized dual-fronted position, the home’s timeless red-brick façade, welcoming veranda and cottage gardens exude instant appeal. Inside, bright and character-filled interiors reveal generous proportions, original detailing and a flexible up to four-bedroom layout, providing the perfect canvas for thoughtful transformation. At the front, extra-high 3.1m ceilings and plush new carpet feature across four principal rooms, including a bay-window formal lounge and main bedroom with built-in robes and ensuite. The more modern rear hosts an open-plan timber kitchen (with gas cooking and dishwasher) and a spacious living and dining zone that opens to a full-length entertaining deck. The north-east-facing backyard also includes an external laundry, workshop, and a carport garage with remote entry via Cowra Street. With a versatile fourth bedroom or study, polished floorboards, fresh paintwork, a tiled bathroom and split system heating and cooling in the living zone, the home is immediately comfortable, ready to move in or lease while making plans for the next chapter. Whichever vision you choose, the rewards will be remarkable. Value the corner position, period integrity and redevelopment potential of this coveted Californian just a short stroll from Bay Street’s shops, cafés, restaurants, cinema and transport. Zoned for Brighton Primary and Secondary, and close to Brighton Grammar, Firbank, Church Street and the beachfront, this is a blue-chip address with unlimited promise.
