As you walk up the path beneath a canopy of climbing greenery and across the mosaic tiling, you immediately get the sense that 107 South Road is something special. Set on over 1,000m² of north-facing land with rear access, this is a home that captures more than a century of fine craftsmanship-and opportunities to secure a land holding like this in Brighton, literally metres from St Leonard's and Haileybury, are exceptionally rare.
Inside, the original Victorian detail is remarkable. You have towering ornate ceilings, stained glass, leadlight details, and beautiful marble fireplaces anchoring the front rooms, all linked by a classic Victorian tiled hallway.
Moving through to the rear, an extension completed 18 years ago matches those grand ceiling heights perfectly, making the transition between original period charm and modern space feel completely seamless. You gain three distinct living zones plus a formal dining room downstairs, giving large families complete flexibility to gather or find their own space.
In the main family area, built-in solid Redgum cabinetry and bookshelves flank a freestanding wood-burning heater for cozy winter nights, while walls of glass and arched French doors invite light and view out to the garden. The adjacent kitchen is designed for genuine functionality, featuring solid Redgum joinery, granite benchtops, double Neff ovens, a Miele gas cooktop and dishwasher, an appliance cupboard, and a full walk-in pantry.
Upstairs, a generous retreat area creates an ideal sanctuary for teenagers, a kids' rumpus, or a quiet lounge away from the main living zones below.
The floorplan offers fantastic versatility-configure it as four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a dedicated study, or comfortably run it as a five-bedroom home. The master suite features a spacious walk-in robe and motorised blinds, while both main bathrooms are finished with marble benchtops. There is even a practical laundry chute connecting the upstairs bathroom directly down to the laundry below, along with a custom wine cellar ready to store up to 1,300 bottles.
Step outside to the sandstone-paved terrace, which overlooks a long, private lawn shaded by a magnificent mature tree. Framed by established gardens, a lemon tree, a cubby house, and a garden shed, it is a wonderful space for kids to play. There is also clear scope to add a double garage at the rear and a swimming pool (STCA).
From a practical lifestyle perspective, the location is unbeatable. St Leonard's College and Haileybury are right on your doorstep, with Church Street, Hampton Street, local train stations, and the beach just minutes away.
