Delight in the charm and convenience of this Dendy classic with its wonderful family spaces, poolside entertaining and proximity to Church Street, numerous sought after private and public schools and Brighton’s iconic Dendy Beach. A local favourite, ‘Cooinda’ is much admired for its elegant corner presence, gorgeous blooming gardens and even the anticipated arrival of a twinkling reindeer adornment at the commencement of each festive season.
Full of surprises with so much family accommodation beyond its classic clinker brick facade and lovely landscaped gardens. A gracious and spacious formal zone flaunts beautiful decorative ceilings, the lounge is bay-windowed and fire-warmed, and the dining room features an ornamental fireplace. An historic, arched leadlight window illuminates the family living domain with period style, while tall bi-folds open to a sun-soaked, resort-style rear for entertaining ease.
Smooth granite wraps the classically appointed kitchen with ample bench space alongside Bosch appliances, Fisher & Paykel dishwasher, a walk-in pantry and handy, dining servery looking across to the pool. Outside, a covered, al fresco area with an integrated, stainless steel BBQ (mains gas), wet area and built-in space for entertainment equipment fitted with all connections, is perfect for watching the Grand Final and endless summer lunches by the solar heated pool in the very low maintenance, north-westerly backyard.
The ground level hosts a fitted study and large combined laundry and powder room. Also downstairs, an en suite master (walk-in/built-in robes) graced with ornate ceilings and a pretty window-seat looking onto the ever-changing floral planting of the front garden. Kids have their own quarters on the first-floor, this invaluable, air-conditioned zone boasts a substantial lounge, three more character-filled bedrooms (built-in robes) and a family bathroom.
Beautifully detailed with leadlight windows and doors, ornate vent covers, high ceilings and polished floorboards as well as modern comforts such as ducted heating throughout, split systems and auto-blinds. Abundant well-lit storage includes an attic with drop-down ladder, extensive roof space, two under-stair areas (one used as a cellar) and much more. Gated carport parking (fitted with a powerpoint to charge an electric vehicle) entered via Hallifax Street.
Enjoy family convenience within an easy walk of St Joan of Arc and Brighton Beach primary, parkland, shops, restaurants, the cinema, station and Bayside’s famous Bathing Boxes. Also close to the area’s leading independent schools and Brighton Secondary College.
