47 Murphy Street, Brighton, Vic 3186

Seeing is believing the exquisite transformation of this 1920s solid-brick Californian bungalow on north/west block of 728sqm (approx). The original elegance remains, but now there's a new vibe and a quality fitout that make this house exceptional. 2 living areas have views of a magnificent deep rear garden and deck, and there's an excellent gourmet kitchen filled with the best finishes. Everywhere you look you see fine craftsmanship, including the classic terrazzo verandah, as-new bathroom, 3 bedrooms, and generous family room. Just as wonderful is the location of this pristine single-level home ... the beach is blocks away, there's schools close by, and Elsternwick Park and Elwood's cafes are within easy reach.
