8 Webb Street
Brighton

Centred around Brighton's most iconic drawcards and presenting a world of inspiring possibilities, this exceptional property of 918sqm (approx.) - just one street back from the shoreline - is on the market for the first time in 40 years.

Surrounded by lushly planted gardens, echoes of the home's glory days still resound in its original Queen Anne architecture at the front, and equally enticing mid-century modernist rear extension, complete with a party-size swimming pool that would have been the talk of the town in its heyday.

Be welcomed to a glimpse of yesteryear's glamour and charm in this 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom, residence via a stunning leadlight and bluestone gated entry. The front rooms, including master bedroom with ensuite and grand formal lounge, are resplendent with ornate plasterwork, high ceilings and original wallpaper. The rear section, comprising kitchen/meals, family, and study, is designed around poolside entertainment, and includes classic mid-century icons such as herringbone-tiled floors, and feature tiled splashback.

Although comfortable living is eminently possible now - with ducted heating, S/S air con, the well-maintained and fenced concrete pool, and a double carport at the front, the home's next incarnation could be inspired by retaining the best of its existing qualities, or re-built (STCA) as a modern masterpiece. Either would blend in with Webb Street's grand eclectic mix of mix of restored heritage beauties and spectacular contemporary homes.

This is a rare opportunity to rebuild, restore or create a new residential icon (STCA) in Brighton's favourite 'family friendly' location so close to Church Street shops and walking distance to schools including Brighton Grammar and Firbank - also walk to the Bathing Boxes, Brighton Beach, The Baths and Bay Street.
