Charming Victorian with Poolside Luxury

House Sold - BRIGHTON VIC

This classic Victorian beauty has been superbly renovated to combine light filled modern living with period charm and elegance. Be drawn in by the romance of stained glass windows, lofty ceilings, polished floorboards and open fireplaces. Built in 1905, this double brick four-bedroom home is surrounded by established gardens, featuring an indoor/outdoor pool and pool house.
Towards the front of the home are the formal living/dining zones, with grand marble fireplace, bay windows and ceilings adorned with magnificent ceiling roses and antique chandeliers. Across the hall is the master bedroom, with bay windows, open fireplace, walk-in-robe and ensuite with dual vanity. The second bedroom is equally spacious with built-in-robes, cabinets and desk, and the third enjoys a sunny spot to the rear of the home overlooking the pool, also with built-in-robes and desk. Private and quiet, the fourth bedroom could also be perfect as a home office or meditation retreat. The central bathroom is light filled and chic in black and white marble, with dual vanity, heating, and bathtub with shower.
The wide arched hallway flows through to an impressively spacious open plan family room and vast chef’s kitchen, complete with Miele appliances. The dining and sitting rooms are surrounded by pool and garden views, the perfect setting for year round entertaining; whether it’s a cosy dinner by the crackling fire, or an alfresco summer luncheon by the pool.
The rear garden is low maintenance and attractive, with ample lawns flanked by stately evergreen hedges, and a north facing poolside with paved sunbaking area and plumbed in BBQ.

The pool itself features an indoor section extending through the pool house, where another open fireplace and seating area provides a luxurious spa retreat, with own bar and shower facilities.
Other features of this generous family home include hydronic heating, reverse cycle cooling and double lock up garage with indoor access. The laundry room is complete with washtub, indoor line and plenty of storage.
Located on leafy Elwood Street, a short walk to local beaches (one great for dog owners!) North road foreshore, bay trails (for walking & cycling). Also a short walk to Bay St shopping precinct, cafés and restaurants, North Brighton train station, and a selection of some of Melbourne’s finest schools.
