A rare streetfront villa-unit opportunity in the absolute heart of Brighton, this charming home faces St. Andrews Street with unique vintage appeal and vastly under-capitalised potential...less than 500m to Church St. Freestanding with no shared walls and a distinctive late-period design, this solid two bedroom, 1.5 bathroom home unfolds in house-like style with living-dining opening northwards to an walled-terrace, a quiet bedroom wing to the rear, and versatile space in a large bathroom and sizeable separate laundry in-between.
Lighting up with a touch of old-style Hollywood glamour with tall arched-windows in a high-gabled facade, this original beauty shines with a single slender French-door to a central atrium (complete with original outdoor-shower), and domed clam-shell light fittings above authentic solid hardwood floors.
Styled with stone benchtops and quality appliances (including an Asko dishwasher and induction cooktop) for the easily upgraded kitchen, there are easy living extras including built-in robes and two separate WCs (one dedicated to the main bedroom). With contemporary comforts including reverse-cycle air-conditioning, and 2.5kW solar-energy with 20KW battery, the home is wrapped by open space with the elevated terrace adding to street-appeal, a mini-orchard of stone fruit and citrus trees lining the entry, 2 x 900L water tanks and two-car parking including an auto-entry garage.
Offering an exceptional opportunity for a state-of-the-art renovation to capitalise on the vintage glamour and vast scope of this solid home, this original beauty is set to step into tomorrow – within a couple of minutes’ walk of the beach-end of Church St and Brighton Primary School, around half-a-dozen blocks to The Baths, boardwalk and dog-beach, and an equally easy walk to both Middle and North Brighton stations.
