Displaying the ambience of a country estate in one of Brighton's most tightly held circles, "Colombo House" c1878 stands as one of the area's earliest homes, displaying extraordinary original grandeur and elegance within its private and idyllic garden surroundings. On 2,405sqm approximately of land just footsteps from the Golden Mile shoreline, this much-admired single-level Victorian residence delivers the enormous potential for an extravagant Bayside lifestyle, poised for all possibilities, including architectural expansion, beautiful landscaping and multi-car garaging (STCA).

Behind a high fence line, a pair of towering pines and a full-width sandstone verandah introduce the striking home, with an imposing arched hall central to several reception rooms, all interconnecting for lavish entertaining and quiet enjoyment. Ornate cornices and ceiling roses adorn the 3.7m high ceilings, whilst marble-tiled floors and broad seating zones within the grand hallway enrich a once glamorous floor plan, complete with a grand-scale central kitchen and an entertainer's dining hall that spills seamlessly to the rear patio. Five bedrooms and three marble-tiled bathrooms include the main suite with an ensuite, walk-in robe and beautiful glass atrium.

Exclusively situated close to Martin Street Village, elite schools, North Road beach and Bay Street's vibrant retail and dining precinct, "Colombo House" is primed for a rejuvenation, currently equipped with bluestone foundations, large laundry, oversized garage with workshops/storage rooms, and plenty of off-street parking.
