Brighton

Retaining all the charm of the Edwardian era, this picture-perfect, renovated Brighton family home offers spaciousness and ease of living in a highly sought-after neighbourhood. Set behind a high picket fence, the double-fronted freestanding circa 1910 home's period features include timber fretwork and a leadlight box bay window that frames a gorgeous weeping cherry taking centre stage in the wide front lawn surrounded by landscaped borders.

Inside, soaring ceilings, Baltic pine floorboards, ornate cornices, ceiling roses, carved timber archways and decorative mantles all honour traditional craftsmanship, while contemporary living is celebrated with a light-filled modern layout that flows towards the rear open plan zone, reached along a wide hallway with dado panelling. The three carpeted bedrooms are all character-filled and have built-in robes. The main bedroom has a modern ensuite, and the spacious family bathroom, with bath and large walk-in rain shower also has a Euro laundry. Appointed with a five-burner Fisher & Paykel gas cooktop, and Bosch oven and dishwasher, the stylish kitchen adjoins the family meals area and living space that opens, via glass French doors, to the covered alfresco deck overlooking the child-friendly back garden, complete with cubby and sand pit. Lined with Lilly Pilly hedging, the fully fenced and compact yard also features a raised veggie bed. There is ample storage, including roof space storage accessible via a pull-out ladder, gas ducted heating and evaporative cooling, alarm system, plus secure, off street parking.

In highly sought after Brighton location that borders Elwood, Gardenvale and Elsternwick, it's just a few minutes' walk to local schools, Martin Street, Ormond Road and Glenhuntly Road shops, cafes and restaurants, Elsternwick Park, train stations, trams, and the beach.
