8 Mayrose Crescent, Brighton East, Vic 3187

Be swept away by the potential of this period beauty on the sweep of Brighton East's greatest crescent. Built to a state-of-the-art standard in the late 1920s, this substantial solid-brick beauty with grand proportions and gracious fittings is ready to relive its glory days.

Ahead of its time with a surprisingly contemporary design, this substantial three bedroom home with rear garage offers an early version of open-plan living with a ballroom-sized living/dining zone flowing into a window-walled sun-room and an adjacent kitchen with sizeable meals area.

Edging into the Art Deco era with delightful detail including a grand tiled fireplace and decorative cornices and ceilings, there's a remarkable retro kitchen kept in "time-capsule" condition (right down to red bakelite handles) and a spectacular terrazzo-floored bathroom graced with Art Deco floor graphic and Italian glass tiles.

With timber floors tucked beneath floral carpets, lofty ceilings edged by deep cornices and irreplaceable proportions, this showpiece of the '20s is ready to reward today's renovation vision. Alternatively, look beyond the past and into the future and bring an all-new outlook to this approx 7868sqft/731sqm block and coveted crescent. Whatever the approach, this one offers historic promise!
