This is not just a house.
It is a home.
This is the kind of house that does not come with a sales story. It comes with a lineage.
And honestly… it is the vibe of the thing.
A few doors from Brighton’s Golden Mile beach, this grand Victorian has been quietly getting on with being wonderful for well over a century. Five bedrooms. Generous proportions. A deep sense of belonging. The kind of place where life happens properly.
Set on approximately 870 square metres with a sunny north-facing rear, this is a home that has been loved, not flipped. It has been held by the same family for more than 50 years. Before that, a doctor lived here. Before that, a clergyman. Good bones. Good people. Good energy.
From the iron lacework verandah to the ruby-flashed leadlight windows and original front door, it makes a strong first impression without trying too hard. Inside, the ceilings soar, the plasterwork is ornate, the fireplaces are marble-framed and the rooms feel calm, dignified and generous- welcoming you home with dignity and a little drama. You can almost hear the conversations that have happened here. The celebrations too.
The floorplan is classic and comfortable. Formal rooms at the front for gathering and hosting. A relaxed family heart at the back that opens to a lush garden and bluestone-edged swimming pool. The kind of pool that knows the value of a post-beach swim and a long summer afternoon.
The kitchen is solid, practical and full of potential, with timber cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, wine cellar and room to dream a little. The home is in excellent condition for its age, yet offers exciting scope for a contemporary extension to the north-facing rear, while the heritage façade continues to do its beautiful thing.
And then there is the location.
Beach at the end of the street.
Bay Trail for morning walks.
The Baths and the yacht club close enough to feel like neighbours.
Church Street and Bay Street cafés within strolling distance.
Great schools nearby.
You cannot put a price on that.
It is about how it feels.
And it just feels right.
For a home of its age, the condition is exceptional. It also presents a rare opportunity. With a heritage-protected façade, there is scope to create a contemporary architectural extension to the north-facing rear, should the next custodian wish to write the next chapter.
With the beach, Bay Trail, yacht club and The Baths at the end of the street, Church Street and Bay Street cafés and shops within walking distance, and Brighton Grammar and Firbank Grammar close by, this is blue-chip Brighton at its most liveable.
A home with history, heart and a very bright future.
