Mid-Century Style with Future Scope

Offered for the first time in more than 50 years, this immaculate mid-century residence occupies a substantial 766sqm approx. allotment with frontage to Kananook Close, just over 350m on foot from Brighton Beach. Established gardens provide exceptional privacy and a picturesque setting for the single-level home, which remains immediately inviting while offering significant scope to renovate, extend or create a new luxury family residence in this prized Bayside position (STCA).

Past the secure garden entry, generous formal living and dining rooms feature a wood-burning fireplace and French doors opening beneath a magnificent Liquidambar to paved alfresco surrounds alive with seasonal colour. Herringbone timber floors continue into the central family domain, extending north to a crazy-paved terrace and naturally shaded garden. A distinctive 1950s stone wall incorporates an updated gas fireplace, while the well-appointed kitchen features black granite benches, Miele appliances and a Neff oven and grill. The flexible accommodation includes a main bedroom with ensuite, private sitting room and garden access, a northern second bedroom with dressing room, home office or third bedroom with extensive original cabinetry, modern bathroom and an additional TV room or possible fourth bedroom.

A recreation room and adjoining workshop add further versatility at the rear, complemented by a concealed cellar accessed from the kitchen, water tanks, split-system heating and cooling, a single carport and additional gated off-street parking. Instantly inviting yet rich with future possibility, this well-loved property enjoys a blue-ribbon Brighton position within walking distance of Bay Street and Church Street dining, city-bound transport, Brighton Beach, the foreshore trails, Brighton Yacht Club, The Baths, Firbank Grammar and Brighton Grammar.
