5 Downes Avenue, Brighton, Vic 3186

Blue-chip potential doesn't get simpler or more rewarding than this. Set on the northern side of this highly coveted period streetscape, this substantial Californian Bungalow on 682 sq metres (7350 sq feet) extends from a solid-brick base to offer exceptional five bedroom plus study, two bathroom accommodation with a rich mix of formal and family living.

Relax around the marble fireplace in gracious inter-connected formal lounge and dining rooms, then step out towards the northerly rear to find light-filled family living flowing out to a vine-draped, pergola-shaded entertaining area and solar-heated pool in north-facing gardens.

With a classic kitchen, two well-positioned bathrooms and a generous double carport out front, this accommodating home has potential to add your flair to fine family living. Alternatively, give this fine period home a full makeover to capitalise on this coveted address within a walk of schools, a choice of Brighton latte strips and the Golden Mile beachfront.
