A unique opportunity, this centrally located family home is nestled amongst 889sqm (approx.) of stunning private gardens, perfectly located within a short stroll to Bay St, North Brighton train station, & Firbank & Brighton Grammar schools.
Cleverly restored and generously extended by the current owners, this solidly built 5-6 bedroom home offers the ideal floor plan & zones for every growing family, with an abundance of space throughout the home, as well as outdoors.
Victorian Finesse: beyond the colourful flowering front garden with a floodlit Grandiflora Magnolia tree, tessellated tiles and iron lacework enhance the classic façade, then once inside soaring decorative ceilings, warm timber and five original fireplaces are not only stunning, but authentic to the charm this home offers.
Generous Spaces: a gorgeous light-filled lounge with feature bay window is separated from the dining room by central fireplaces; these are grand rooms, with excellent proportions, and are very flexible in how they can be utilized by families.
Set to the rear, the open plan entertaining zone offers impressive spaces for relaxing and dining and flows into a stone kitchen with two Miele ovens & Vintec wine fridge, while outside a huge alfresco garden with water feature looks across the large solar heated tiled pool in private garden surrounds, with no overlooking, and plenty of space to create a large grassed area for the kids.
Ground Floor: the main suite enjoys garden views, a large dressing area, plus an ensuite bathroom. Also on this level are two further superb double bedrooms one opening to a light-well courtyard where the original Hawthorn brick is made visible. A two-way bathroom, additional bathroom plus powder room service downstairs, which also comes with two studies / bedrooms (one with views of the pool).
Self-Contained Upstairs Zone: past a textural Venetian plaster wall, an expansive 2nd story living zone will appeal to families, and is apartment-like in its overall design to be fully "self - contained". Enjoying a pool-view balcony and kitchenette, it is a perfect guest or teen escape when combined with the large bedroom and sparkling bathroom.
Luxuries: separate laundry, BBQ shed and workshop (with its own power), while heating/cooling options, a double remote garage and additional auto gated parking are more in-demand inclusions. And while the home has a distinctly historic soul, it has been fully future-proofed thanks to the addition of 3-phase power, an EV charger and 7.2 kW/hr solar array.
A+ Locale: a gentle stroll to Bay Street's retailers, cinema, dining options, North Brighton station and bus stops, this grand residence is within moments of Brighton & Firbank grammar schools and a straightforward trip to the city and beautiful beaches.
