1 Exon Street, Brighton, Vic 3186

Appreciate the architectural vision of the 1960s or give this approx 6240sqft/580sqm property an all new look. Part of the 1960's redevelopment of the Melbourne Orphanage Estate, this three bedroom 2.5 bathroom home showcases all the architectural elements that make mid-20th century design so desirable. Soaring upward and outward at every turn, this light-filled design features soaring plaster-lined cathedral ceilings across two living zones, tall windows opening into gardens at every turn and a clever L-shaped design capturing lush green views from every room.

The house is cleverly configured with ensuited bedrooms upstairs and down; the entire first-floor is a dedicated master level (with a soaring cathedral-ceiling bedroom, generous robes and ensuite), while ground-floor bedrooms each have access to the garden and bathroom facilities. With retro detail including a terrazzo-floored ensuite, this appealing home has been updated with a quality laminate kitchen, robes for every bedroom (including a WIR) and reverse-cycle air-conditioning. Set in a native landscape with a double carport out front, this light and lofty home is wonderfully liveable or rentable as is ...with endless scope for an architectural upgrade.

Alternatively, move into an all new era of architectural innovation with a brand new design on this well-proportioned site. Just around the corner from Brighton Beach Primary School with the famous Bathing Boxes of Dendy St beach within a five minute walk and Brighton Beach station just a little further on, this one has designs on the future!
