Presenting a glorious fusion of Edwardian elegance and contemporary liveability, this meticulously maintained, and beautifully updated four-bedroom-plus-study Brighton home will impress with its grand-scale proportions and indulgent appointments. Enviably positioned in the heart of Brighton's coveted heritage belt, just steps to Martin Street Village and Gardenvale Station, the single-storey circa-1900s weatherboard home is resplendently set behind a lush garden sanctuary, while an automated driveway gate leads to two secure off-street parking spaces. Rich in all the hallmarks of its Edwardian origins including soaring ceilings, ornate plasterwork, and traditional fireplaces, the contemporary enhancements include pure wool loop pile carpets, hydronic heating throughout (including bathrooms), plantation shutters, and a luxe stone-tiled ensuite to the main bedroom, which also has a fitted walk-in robe. The intuitive floorplan zones the four generously sized bedrooms, super-sized main bathroom, and fitted study with courtyard access along the central hallway with timber fretwork arch and dado panelling. Polished hardwood flooring flows towards the impressively scaled open plan living and dining zone edged with glass-paned French doors that open to the central decked courtyard, featuring a stunning liquid amber tree, and a rear deck that extends to the lushly lawned and landscaped private rear garden. The stone-topped gourmet kitchen is equipped with a Gaggenau oven and gas cook top, a Bosch dishwash and a large walk-in preparation pantry enhances the home's impressive entertaining amenity. A well-appointed laundry/utility room offers access to the rear deck, an abundance of storage, and there is also a guest powder room and the third bathroom (with shower). Perfectly positioned moments from Martin Street's cafes, restaurants, boutiques, and health and wellness destinations, with Gardenvale Station a four-minute walk away. An excellent selection of elite schools, including Star of the Sea College, Firbank Grammar, and Brighton Grammar, are within close proximity. It is also in easy walking/cycling distance to Elwood Beach, North Brighton Beach, and the fabulous greenspace of Elsternwick Park.
