1 Airlie Street, Brighton, Vic 3186

A contemporary revival has created single-level beauty and excellent street appeal in a central location, close to cafes, Elsternwick Park and public transport. Every room reveals the best of two eras. Living zones are full of light, and two bedrooms have floor-to-ceiling wardrobes and a sense of spaciousness. The instant appeal of this home shows in every area, from the entry with fretwork and leadlight to the lounge or possible 3rd bedroom with a box bay window seat and timber fireplace surround. The heart of this well-designed home is the family room, opening onto a deck with built-in seating. Stone benches and views to the deck are on show in the kitchen, where smart use of space offers generous storage. Quality is at the heart of the designer bathroom, featuring a walk-in rainhead shower, black tapware, marble vanity and a luxurious bath. Effortless style matches easy living, casement windows, leadlight and high ceilings. There's a garage and off-street parking behind picket gates, service yard for outdoor storage, established landscaping, and an emphasis on low-maintenance living. Cul de sac address is an easy walk to trains and trams, Elwood's cafes and food stores, Elsternwick Park and the beach.
