An irresistible opportunity awaits in a tranquil Brighton East neighbourhood, this stand-alone Art Deco property presents a host of desirable options. Update the home’s current comfort and charm with a designer renovation expanding into the deep north-facing rear or start afresh and build your dream family home (STCA) on approximately 595 sqm of sundrenched land.
Elevated to catch the sun, the beautifully detailed Deco has been updated along the way with the addition of a rear family room and third bedroom suite (built-in robes and en suite). The entrance hall, lounge and dining rooms, and main bedroom (built-in robes) showcase gorgeous period features such as high decorative ceilings, picture rails, boxed windows and original glass doors.
A central kitchen is neat and functional, while the laundry and a separate WC are well-positioned. Outside a covered entertaining area overlooks the lovely, sunny garden ideal for young children with grassy play and plenty of privacy. A single garage opens to a full-size workshop providing a multi-purpose space with built-in storage. Gas central heating throughout and a wall air conditioning unit in the living zone.
With an appealing street presence on the sunny side of Charles, a traditional facade featuring decorative brickwork and pretty window-boxes invites a stunning renovation. Enhance the original quarters and replace the rear with an indoor-outdoor family domain designed to maximise the generous dimensions offered and northern light. The backyard also has the potential to transform into an al fresco oasis with ample room for a pool, if desired.
This much loved home, enjoyed by only one family since the early 1940s, is a 2 minute walk to the Hawthorn Road tram (Melbourne University and city), a 5 minute walk to Gardenvale Primary School and an 8 minute walk to the grassy expanses of Landcox Park with its playground and ornamental lake. It’s also close to village shops and cafes as well as Bay and Church streets, Brighton schools and Bayside beaches. Secure your future in a coveted locale.
