1/18 Gillard StreetBrighton East

A smart renovation has transformed this classic-style home into a chic & sophisticated contemporary haven – perfectly suited to downsizers, professionals and simply anyone chasing a carefree, low maintenance lifestyle. On its own title with no shared land or body corporate fees, and luxuriating in glorious northerly sunlight & warmth throughout, the home’s fenced front garden leads to interiors with an undeniable ‘wow’ factor. Open plan in layout, and enhanced by wide-board floors, floaty sheer curtains and a host of other high-end finishes, among its highlights are a spacious & inviting lounge/meals area, a space designed for effortless entertaining. A curved-end island anchors the stunning gourmet kitchen where luxe stone surfaces and quality appliances – including a Vintec wine fridge - are standout features. Here, a curved wall conceals a butler-style pantry and stylish terrazzo-floored laundry with handy outdoor access. Timeless terrazzo can also be found in the beautifully appointed central bathroom, along with a sumptuous freestanding bath, skylight and floating vanity. There are built-in robes and loop-pile carpets in both bedrooms, new carpets and paintwork throughout, whilst ducted heating and cooling keep the home comfortable all year long. On a generous yet easy-to-maintain corner allotment of approx. 379sqm, the home is complemented by a front garden that provides plenty of room for summertime hosting and for children & pets to play. Securely gated, there is also ample off-street parking – including a double carport and space for a caravan or trailer. Within easy reach of the Number 64 tram and highway for a direct commute, this prized pocket of Brighton East is also close to Hurlingham Park, the vibrant retail & dining attractions along Centre Rd & Bay St and bus stops. Just a short bus ride to Brighton’s elite private schools, it is also in the sought-after Brighton Secondary College zone and moments from Bentleigh West Primary School.
