130 Were Street, Brighton, Vic 3186

You expect high ceilings, deep skirting boards and open fireplaces with a Victorian home but this superb property has so much more to offer. Warmth and character place it well above the ordinary; the comfortable ambience and the graceful rooms enhance it further; and the exquisite period features and modern amenities place it in a category all of its own.

Tastefully decorated and well cared for, this genuine family home has enormous appeal. The wide entrance hall sets the scene?there?s such artistry in the spectacular stained glass surrounding the front door, in the plaster work of the archway, in the cornices and ceiling roses, in the etched ruby glass inset in the door at the other end of the hall and in the leadlight transom above it. Mellow Baltic pine floors add charm, and the light fitting is appropiately elegant.

The serene sitting room has a bay window and a marble-surrounded open fireplace. The dining room (with black marble-surrounded open fireplace) may be grand in scale but the décor gives it intimacy and geniality. A modern extension at the rear of the residence includes an open-plan informal living room (A/C) with recently updated kitchen (granite benchtops and stainless steel Smeg appliances). There are 5 bedrooms ? bedroom 1 has a marble OFP; bedroom 2 has a marble OFP and an ensuite; bedrooms 3 and 4 have BIRs, and there?s a cute nursery. Another 2 bathrooms (1 with spa bath) and a separate laundry complete the picture.

Emulate olden day niceties and enjoy afternoon tea on the iron lace-fringed return verandah with its bull nose roof and tesselated tiled floor. Relax in the tranquil surroundings of the pretty, private rear garden. Park 2 cars off-street. Live the good life here!

The location is perfect! Where better to live than in iconic leafy Were Street, in the heart of Brighton, extra handy to Were Street Village, near private schools, Church and Hampton streets and all the delights of Bayside.
