Spacious Character-Filled Family Abode

Gracing the bowl of a tranquil North Brighton cul-de-sac, this spacious and light-filled five-bedroom brick family home has been beautifully maintained and updated for contemporary living whilst celebrating its mid-century origins complete with a Palm Springs-inspired swimming pool in the blissful backyard.

Privately set on a sizeable 818sqm (approx.) block, the two-level home's signature style origins are introduced with a terrazzo-tiled entry terrace and a parquet-floored family room and study, where built-in window seats and a teak baton feature wall add plenty of mid-century appeal. Large-scale picture windows, including corner glazing with delightful garden outlooks add to the light-filled dimensions complemented by high ceilings and a free-flowing open-plan layout. There are three bedrooms on the lower level, including one with an ensuite complete with charming original fittings, whilst upstairs, far-reaching neighbourhood views include city skyline glimpses, and there is another option for a master suite with a walk-in robe and ensuite, along with a living area/retreat and an additional bedroom. The central kitchen has stone benchtops and is well appointed with a new Fisher & Paykel oven, Bosch gas cook top and LG dishwasher, while the triple garage with auto remote door, has plenty of space for a gym, a separate workshop, and interior access via a newly fitted-out and super-convenient mudroom.

Outside, the huge three-metre deep, bean-shaped salt-water chlorinated swimming pool has been newly resurfaced and has solar heating. The fully-fenced backyard also includes an Olympic-sized in-ground trampoline, plenty of lawn area and an outdoor entertaining terrace. Additional features include upgraded gas ducted heating, split system air conditioning, laundry with external access, plenty of storage, new carpets and rainwater tanks. Perfect for now, the size and scope of this property inspires the potential to further update or redevelop in the future (STCA).

Outstanding family-friendly location, just a short stroll to a choice of fabulous cafes in Martin Street Village, train station, whilst Elsternwick Park with its walking tracks, play equipment and off-leash dog area is a five-minute walk away.
