Nestled behind an enclosed front garden in a coveted Brighton East location, this beautifully renovated & extended period gem has been cherished by one family for over three decades. The flexible two storey floorplan offers an abundance of space & comfort for a modern family lifestyle. The welcoming entrance hallway delivers an elegantly spacious formal lounge (with fire place) & adjoining dining room, a dedicated study with built-in cabinetry & culminates in the light saturated heart of the home. Here a wonderfully expansive northerly oriented living & dining zone extends out to an undercover alfresco area & good sized rear garden. Adding to the appeal is an updated stone topped kitchen with stainless steel appliances (including dishwasher & integrated microwave) & an abundance of storage. The generous accommodation continues upstairs to a main bedroom with built-in cabinetry, built-in robes & ensuite. Three additional bedrooms with built-in robes & a sparkling central bathroom complete the accommodation. Other features include ducted heating, split system heating/cooling, carport for two cars behind auto front gates, stylish powder room, separate laundry, under stair storage, irrigation & a rear storage shed with lighting & power outlets.
