Edwardian Elegance in Position Perfect!

Serenely set in a period-perfect pocket metres from Bay Street, this block-fronted 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom Edwardian charmer beautifully blends spacious interiors with oversized outdoor living on a deep parcel of land. A beautiful Bayside retreat, this is idyllic Brighton living, tailored for elegant entertaining in glorious northern light.

Captivating at first sight, discover an arched hallway branching off to both generously scaled bedrooms, the master graced with mirrored built-in robes and a private ensuite. Under vaulted skylit ceilings, a relaxed lounge/sitting room is ideal for connecting or slipping away for some quiet time.

Thoughtfully renovated to encourage entertaining opportunities, the home impressively opens up to reveal designated living and dining zones, neatly separated by a chef-friendly kitchen with quality European appliances including a Bosch dishwasher. This sun-filled heart of the home welcomes natural light to every far-reaching corner, courtesy of sliding glass panels lining the perimeter.

Spill outside to the true star of the show with a seamless transition to a deceptively spacious L-shaped courtyard attracting northern light. A world away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, this is a peaceful space with more than enough room for the full range of outdoor settings. Further appeal is enhanced by a more intimate sun terrace, framed by a colourful low-upkeep garden.

Comprehensive features include a fully tiled principal bathroom with a shower over a bath, separate laundry, heating/cooling, intercom entry, roller blinds, and a remote-controlled carport plus additional driveway parking.

Key value-adding details authentic to this lovingly preserved period home include a handsome front bullnose verandah with intricate timber detailing, artfully applied ceiling roses,  stone arched hallway, original timber doors, Baltic pine flooring in the bedrooms, ornate open fireplaces, and exquisite lead-lit entry. If desired, take value-adding inspiration from the neighbours with a special opportunity to elevate and extend at the rear (STCA).

A rare opening in one of Brighton’s most tightly held neighbourhoods, stroll to the vibrant village shopping of Bay and Martin Streets, public transport options, a range of leading schools including Firbank and Brighton Grammar, and your very own local beach.
