84 Bay StreetBrighton

If you are seeking a slice of Victorian charm in the beating heart of Brighton proper, you cannot go past "Rosstrevor". This double fronted home dishes up a mouth-watering blend of character-filled nostalgia and contemporary comfort topped off with masses of potential to further enhance. Nestled midway between North Brighton central, Bay street shopping/dining and the prestigious Golden Mile foreshore, this appealing home is enveloped in pretty established gardens. Across a traditional bullnose verandah, a central hallway - accented by soaring ceilings and ornate fretwork arches - divides the three tranquil bedrooms including the large ensuite master, which along with one other room showcases an original tiled fireplace. The scene of family gatherings for over a century, the formal dining/living room features an elegant hearth and charming serving hatch through to the central timber kitchen where a towering exposed brick oven recess harks back to the home's origins. This inviting space opens to a more recently-added family room where double doors can be thrown open to the glorious gardens boasting laden fruit trees, meandering paths and storage sheds. Completing the package are a light-filled bathroom, generous laundry plus ducted heating, split system cooling, security alarm and carport parking. Choose whether to enjoy as is, extend or even add a pool or alternatively start again with a modern showpiece (STCA).
