2/10 Boxshall Street, Brighton, Vic 3186

What was once the Brighton fire station is now a superbly transformed three-bedroom apartment, metres from Church Street. With a ground-floor position, generous courtyard garden and contemporary fitout, this is tailormade for downsizing or buying into Brighton. Art Deco origins are intact with porthole windows, solid-brick construction and high ceilings, and the sense of space and character is first-class. New kitchen is streamlined, the large bathroom is light-filled, and the outdoor living is private and easy-care. Today's essentials are all here including remote-control gates and on-site parking, and public transport, shops and the beach are close by. You even have your own entrance in this exclusive boutique block. Idyllic location opposite Library Gardens and around the corner from Brighton Primary School and Tom Wilson Cafe.
