14 Roseberry Avenue, Brighton East, Vic 3187

When a homes street presence is so attractively demure and with a strong period element in the iron lace-fringed bullnose front verandah and the lead lighting at the front door, it comes as a real surprise to find such natural light-filled openness and spaciousness inside.

What a terrific family home this is! Relaxed living and entertaining is the order of the day: a flexible floor plan allows for up to 4 generous-size bedrooms or any combination of bedrooms and formal rooms, peace prevails, and a thorough update and extension ensures the needs of a modern family are well catered for.

High ceilings are a feature and skylights have been judiciously placed to ensure there are no gloomy areas. A fresh dcor and a tiled entrance hall enhance the laidback atmosphere.

A large open library adjoins the dining room, which has an open fireplace, and leads out to the vast open-plan living room. Its an exceptional room that family and guests will love. A fitted bar occupies one corner of the room. The king-size kitchen has wide benches, masses of cupboards, insinkerator, Bosch cooking and a walk-in pantry that is a modern twist to the butlers pantry. The living room overlooks the charming rear garden where theres an enormous deck covered by multi sails. Alfresco entertaining is tons of fun here!

This is a lovely cool home in summer, although theres air conditioning in the living room. Theres also a ducted vacuum system, security alarm, 2 renovated bathrooms, ironing cupboard, capacious laundry, more storage space than youll ever need, and ducted heating. Theres extensive off-street parking for any number of vehicles. What was once a double garage has become a substantial storeroom plus home to a large remote-controlled cool room for wine storage. Its heaven for the wine connoisseur here!

The large parcel of land approx. 15.3m x 46m (708m2) provides plenty of play space for children. To continue the family-friendly theme, the bus in Hampton St is in strolling distance, while its an easy walk to Bay Street shops, trains, cinemas and bistros. Firbank, Brighton Grammar and Brighton Primary School are handy also.
