Beautifully reimagined from its C1950 beginnings, 29 Shephard Street is a home made for long lunches, balmy evenings and weekends spent exactly where you want to be outside, entertaining, unwinding and soaking up the best of Hove's coveted coastal lifestyle.
Behind its timeless façade, the home's original character has been carefully celebrated, with polished timber floors, soaring ceilings, picture windows, leadlight glass and a classic brick fireplace all setting the scene. But it's the way this home has evolved for modern living that makes it something special.
At the heart of it all is an effortless connection between indoors and out. An expansive lounge settles around the character brick fireplace, now reimagined with a brand-new electric heater, before flowing through to the updated sit-in kitchen. Crisp monochrome finishes and stainless-steel appliances, including a De'Longhi dishwasher and Bosch Pyrolytic oven, make this a practical everyday hub with entertaining firmly in mind.
And then the home really opens up.
A generous return pavilion deck transforms the backyard into a genuine extension of the living space the kind of setting made for slow Sunday breakfasts, afternoon drinks, family barbecues and dinners that stretch long after sunset. Complete with a ceiling fan, wall-mounted television and custom electric remote-controlled outdoor blind, it's designed to be enjoyed across the seasons, creating a true second living room outdoors.
Beyond, easy-care gardens and a manageable sweep of lawn provide just enough greenery for kids, pets and summer afternoons without sacrificing every weekend to maintenance. Private, secure and wonderfully relaxed, it's an outdoor space that invites you to actually use it.
Inside, three generous bedrooms line the central hallway, all comfortably serviced by an updated, fully tiled family bathroom, while a versatile rear room adds another layer of flexibility ideal as bonus living, a home office, kids' retreat or guest accommodation depending on what life calls for next.
Split-system air conditioning, ceiling fans, a garden shed, secure fenced frontage and off-street parking round out a home that's ready to enjoy from day one, while a full electrical re-wire completed in 2026 adds another welcome update behind the scenes.
And when you do venture beyond the backyard, Hove makes everyday life feel like a permanent weekend. Start the morning with coffee at Bobby's, head down for a saltwater swim, stretch the legs around Brighton Oval or make an afternoon of the cafés, restaurants and bars of Brighton and Glenelg. Westfield Marion takes care of retail and cinemas, while Brighton Primary and Secondary zoning and a straight train line from Hove to the CBD keep the practical side of life beautifully simple.
Old soul, fresh outlook and an outdoor lifestyle that's hard to resist let 29 Shephard Street set your pace.
