Edwardian Entertainer on the Edge of Martin St Village
One of the fine red-brick beauties that make the Martin St precinct so desirable, this three bedroom plus study-area, 2.5 bathroom Edwardian home offers a well-considered design for today with a traditional formal lounge for quiet times, an expansive family zone to lounge, dine and entertain, and a grand master-domain with ensuite and retreat for parental peace and privacy.
Designed to entertain inside-out in all seasons, the broad-lawned backyard dives into summer with a heated swim-spa and welcomes cooler nights with a panel-heated, awning-shaded al fresco pavilion extending to a sunken fire-pit area. With a versatile multi-purpose room (with third WC) alongside the pool, there’s even a place for gym, kids’ retreat or separate-entry business at home workspace.
Timeless by design with a glossy granite and prestige appliance kitchen with Bosch dishwasher to add to entertaining living and a clever fitted-study to add to work-life balance, this centrally heated and reverse-cycle air-conditioned home fits a modern family with a stylish ensuite and skylit family bathroom, great storage including robes for each bedroom and quality appointments including plantation-shutters, an alarm and wired Bose speakers.
Grand with period proportions and gracious with Edwardian detail including an open-fireplace for each living zone, solid timber floors including restored Baltic Pine boards, the home is set in groomed grounds with parking on a red-brick drive including a double carport. With all you could need for a lovely family life today, there’s also excellent scope to step up to the next level tomorrow with a luxury upgrade and extension to capitalise on this leafy lovely address.
Just around the corner from the cafés and shopping of Martin St village and less than 500m to Gardenvale station, this is yesterday’s beauty meets today’s beautiful life; in reach of all the Brighton schools (Star of the Sea and St James Primary School are one block away), two stops down the line to Church St and a 19 minute rail commute to the CBD.
