In a prized Brighton pocket on the corner of Drake Street, this parkside beauty is brimming with blue chip possibilities. Proudly residing on 785sqm (approx) of sundrenched land for over 100 years, the existing Edwardian is set to inspire a spectacular renovation or luxury new build (STCA) for the next generation to enjoy.
Dual street frontages and a north-westerly aspect open up your design options to revive the original residence with its grand proportions and wealth of period features. Or rebuild one or two magnificent homes opposite Elsternwick Park within a short walk of the beach and fine schools as well as cosmopolitan shopping and dining strips (Martin & Bay streets and Ormond & Glen Huntly roads) and public transport.
Currently home to a 3-bedroom family classic flaunting high 3.4m ceilings, beautiful bay windows and baltic pine flooring. An impressive entry introduces formal lounge and dining rooms both fire-warmed, while the rear hosts spacious family living (split system) and a chef’s kitchen boasting granite benches, quality appliances and custom cabinetry. There’s even an authentic Butler’s Pantry which now serves as a bar area.
Outside a brick paved entertainment pavilion and bathroom facilities plus a carport or ideal work-out space, remote garage and workshop. A blissfully private front yard opens to the generous main bedroom (built-in robes). Two more bedrooms with robes, an updated bathroom and ducted heating throughout. Surrounded by established gardens bursting with veggies, fruit and flowers this is a truly idyllic family setting for now and beyond.
