15 Byron Street

In the heart of Brighton's most esteemed blue-chip environs, this classic, single-level brick Art Deco home, on a deep 696* square metre corner block, presents an inspiring opportunity for an architectural renovation or redevelopment (STCA) to make the most of its outstanding north and west facing rear aspect and to celebrate its enviable location just two blocks from Bay Street. Neighboured by some of Brighton's most innovatively renovated and restored period homes, as well as contemporary redevelopments, this double-brick stucco-clad circa-1940 beauty has the added advantage of two street frontages, measuring approximately 44 metres x 15 metres with an auto-gated driveway in Warriston Street. Adding to this outstanding opportunity, is the recent listing of an adjoining property (2 Warriston Street, Brighton) measuring 653*square metres, inspiring a combined grand scale residential redevelopment (STCA), encompassing more than a third of an acre and totalling 60-plus metres of street frontage. Presenting plenty of Art-Deco street appeal, with leadlight windows, and ornate brickwork, the home's original layout has been added to and extended over the decades. The current floorplan translates well to contemporary liveability comprising both formal and informal living and dining, three bedrooms plus study, (or four bedrooms), and an updated bathroom and a central kitchen with quality Euro cooking appliances. Period features, including some outstanding examples of decorative plasterwork on the soaring ceilings, and ornate tiled fireplaces, have been retained. The large rear yard, with storage/garden shed, is bathed in northerly and westerly sun, which floods into the home's rear living/meals area. Well maintained, and appointed with split system heating/cooling and central heating, the home offers potential for investors, or to live in now while contemplating its exciting future in one of Brighton's most sought after lifestyle precincts. Located in a quiet, low-traffic street, just a short walk to Brighton Primary School, North Brighton Station, and Bay Street boutiques, bars, shops and restaurants, as well as being in easy reach of Golden Mile beaches. The address is zoned for Brighton Secondary College and Primary School, and surrounded by elite private schools including Firbank Grammar and Brighton Grammar. *approximate land size
