Description: Presenting an exceptional opportunity in a prized pocket of Brighton East, close to Centre Road shops, cafes and transport, this beautifully presented classic 1950s solid-brick three-bedroom-plus-studio family home is positioned at the front of a deep, level 800 square metre block, and inspires a plethora of potential for buyers to renovate, rent out, subdivide, or redevelop (STCA). Rich in retro charm and character, the single-level home is set behind neatly landscaped, established gardens and flanked by a long driveway, with a lockable gate leading to the rear garage. Inside, polished original hardwood flooring, high ceilings, hand-plastered walls, timber framed doorways and sash windows endorse the home's timeless appeal. There is a spacious living/dining zone, with a corner window drawing north westerly light, and a gleaming, white central kitchen with a freestanding Chef oven with gas cook top and a Bosch dishwasher. There are three generously sized bedrooms, including the main, which has a wall of built-in robes and front garden outlooks, while the recently refreshed bathroom has a built-in bath/shower and stone vanity. Additional features include two gas heaters, plus recently upgraded central heating and evaporative cooling, a modern tiled laundry, and a powder room. Outside there is a renovated studio/bungalow, with floating floor and downlights, ideal for guest/teenager accommodation. There is also an undercover alfresco patio, and the expansive, park-like, level back lawn. Perfectly positioned, this exceptional property is moments from vibrant Centre Road restaurants, shops, and cafes, and is in equal walking distance to Bentleigh and North Brighton stations, and close to Hawthorn Road shops and tram, Hurlingham Park and Elster Creek walking trail.
