8 Alexander Street

This charming c1926 residence occupies a coveted approximately 680sqm (approx.) allotment in a quiet, private street - a parcel of rare scale and depth for its position near the bay. Brimming with period character and immaculately presented, it offers an exceptional opportunity to enjoy as it stands while considering a renovation or extension (STCA). A lounge adjoins a separate dining room, while a kitchen and meals area sits alongside three bedrooms, one featuring an original fireplace and lending itself equally well as a study or second living space. A central bathroom, laundry and powder room complete the floorplan. Thoughtful improvements have already been undertaken, including restumping, replastering, rewiring, replumbing and comprehensive insulation. These are complemented by solar panels, water tanks, an electric vehicle charger and provisions for heat-pump hot water. It is the land, however, that truly distinguishes this offering. The deep, north-facing rear garden accommodates a fully wired workshop, two sheds, garage parking and an undercover carport, with expansive lawn beyond. Previously approved plans for a double-storey extension, together with single-storey concept plans, provide exciting scope for those looking to create their long-term family home (STCA). Positioned within the sought-after Gardenvale Primary School and Brighton Secondary College zones, the home is moments from trams, North Brighton Station, the dining and shopping precinct of Bay Street, the open green spaces of Landcox Park, and the bay itself.
