3 Wallen Street, Brighton East, Vic 3187

Find a true period treasure hidden in Brighton East's leafiest cul-de-sac. Secluded in formal gardens within the well-maintained native plantation of this tightly held court, this elevated three bedroom, two bathroom home was built to a superior standard in the 1920s and has been renovated with respect to offer exceptional family living today.

Graced with fine formal lounge and dining rooms and airy open-plan family living/dining, the home is elaborately Art Deco detailed with ornamental ceilings, etched glass doors, feature windows and rich wood panelling (including a unique fresco) and a spectacular fireplace reclaimed from a nearby presbytery.

Designed for today's living with a stylish granite-look kitchen with quality appliances (including Miele dishwasher) and a vast vaulted-ceilinged master domain with retreat, stylish ensuite and garden access, this gracious home is centrally heated and alarmed with reverse-cycle air-conditioners, a ducted vacuum and high quality fittings including commercial quality Axminster carpet, luxurious window-furnishings, mirrored robes and leadlight (including a feature window high above family living).

Stepping out into very private gardens with a Merbau-decked covered al fresco area, the home has the practicality of a double carport with workshop and 5000L water-storage, and the charm of pretty cubby for the kids. Best of all, this enchanting home has a wonderfully family-wise location in the Finbar's school and church precinct a walk to childcare and tennis courts ...and a minute to Brighton's schools and shopping.
