2 Southey Street
Brighton

A striking solid brick, double fronted 1880’s Victorian facade and iron lace verandah provide the captivating introduction to ‘Thanet House’, a spacious family home situated on a generous 930sqm (approx.) allotment. An inground pool and spa, sauna and extensive garden setting extend far beyond the home’s traditional beginnings, incorporating ample parking, a triple carport and multi-purpose bungalow for idyllic family flexibility, as well as future scope for new projects if desired (STCA).

Graceful Victorian features and elegant dimensions define the interior where soaring high ceilings, timber floors, picture rails, cornicing and fireplaces are hallmarks of a bygone era, and prized period proportions provide space for a range of ages and stages. Relax in the formal living and dining rooms where a double sided open fireplace with marble surround anchors the space, or entertain with ease from the open plan family room with a tranquil view of the glistening pool. A raked ceiling and open fireplace add character, while a well equipped kitchen provides the desired functionality. Five bedrooms feature large sash windows and built in robes, and share three bathrooms.

Includes ducted heating, vehicle access via east and west laneways as well as the main entrance from Southey Street, barbecue zone, separate laundry, sauna and a third bathroom outside. A prized location on a quiet side street minutes from Bay Street provides good proximity to modern essentials, North Brighton station, Bay Street’s shopping and dining precinct, zoned to Brighton Primary, with an exceptional selection of private schools nearby, including Firbank and Brighton Grammar.
