4 Stone Street, Brighton East, Vic 3187

Picture perfect with its bullnose front verandah fringed by iron lace, and picket fence with period finials, ?Braidlea? exudes charm. There?s a well-cared-for air about the property, enhanced by the low maintenance, landscaped front garden.

Those endearing period features have been lovingly restored and/or maintained ? high ceilings, deep skirting boards, attractive ceiling roses in the front rooms, wide arched and corbelled entrance hall? The gleaming floorboards are another outstanding feature.

What surprises is that there? is 4-bedroom (all with BIRs) accommodation here ? this certainly isn?t one of those tiny Victorian cottages! The sunny north-facing aspect is reflected in the bright décor of the formal lounge room and adjoining formal dining room. The rear of the home has been extended into a spacious informal living room where there?s a split-system air-conditioner and a thoroughly workable kitchen with breakfast bar. The outlook is to the ?entertainers? rear garden where there?s extensive paving and a heated salt-chlorinated inground pool with a safety-glass fence ? a great security feature without diminishing the view of the sparkling pool and spa.

The spacious laundry has storage cupboards, and there are 2 bathrooms ? the main with an old-fashioned appearance but with thoroughly modern amenity. Amongst the inclusions - intercom entry, security alarm, ducted vacuum, ducted heating, a double garage fitted for poolside entertaining and abundant off-street parking behind the remote-controlled front gates.

?Braidlea? has all the romance of its origins and all the features we want today: it?s your perfect match!
