70 New Street, Brighton, Vic 3186

Period grace and family space come together at one of Brightons favourite addresses. At the leafiest end of New St in the highly-sought Brighton Beach Primary School precinct, this substantial c. 1916 home extends to fit a family while retaining very fine period detail.

Wrapped by verandah, this four bedroom, two bathroom home opens wide to offer gracious formal rooms beautifully detailed with open-fireplaces (one marble), french doors and, in the fine dining-room, a window-seat set in a striking diamond-paned bay-window. Family living has a light-filled focus extending out beyond a warm timber kitchen in a window-walled space opening to a pergola-shaded deck.

Cleverly family-planned to offer parental privacy, theres a grand ground-floor master bedroom beside a pretty period-style bathroom, and an upstairs childrens zone with attic-style bedrooms (including one with study/retreat area) serviced by their own bright bathroom.

Surrounded by lush established gardens complete with double carport parking, and fitted with ducted heating and alarm, this is gracious family living right where so many families want to live - within blocks of the Primary School, Brighton Beach station and the Bay, and with Church St and the private school precinct within easy reach.

With all the grace of yesterday and endless potential for tomorrow, theres even the possibility of rethinking this prime approx 7,900sqft/734sqm site as the place for a future prestige new home.
