Commanding a privileged positioned in a tightly held and illustrious neighbourhood, a 10-minute stroll to Brighton Beach's iconic bathing boxes, this character-rich circa-1924 single-level generational family home is positioned on 814sqm* with a deep, northerly rear aspect presenting an inspiring opportunity for renovators or redevelopers (STCA). The property has been in the same family since 1920, reflecting the long-standing appeal of the street.
Solidly built and well-maintained, the decorative brick and stucco home is surrounded by established landscaped gardens and is rich in timeless street appeal. An arched entry verandah introduces the home's exuberant Art Deco styling which is further enhanced with decorative leadlight and stained-glass windows. In the original front section of the home, high ceilings are resplendent with intricately patterned roses and cornices, while the generously proportioned rooms, including formal living, dining and main bedroom are fitted out with traditional fireplaces, window bays, and picture rails. The modernised central kitchen features polished hardwood timber floors, stone benchtops, and high-end appliances including a Neff cooktop and oven, a Smeg rangehood and a Fisher & Paykel dual door dishwasher, while the adjoining laundry/butler's pantry enhances functionality when entertaining. Flooded with northerly light, the abundantly glazed family/meals area overlooks the lovely garden and a glass sliding door provides access to an alfresco entertaining deck. The adaptable layout includes a second living room, with open fireplace and an external access door, which leads to the fourth bedroom or study with built-in robes and cabinetry. The stylish modernised tiled bathroom has a walk-in shower, and there are a further two double-sized bedrooms in the front section of the home.
Additional features include split system heating/cooling, garden irrigation system, garden shed and workshop. There is a long driveway offering plenty of off-street parking, and a secure sideway gate to the expansive north facing back yard with plenty of room for a pool. (STCA).
