Resplendent in gallery like ambience and Art Deco elegance, this primarily single level easy living four bedroom home, a celebrated artists residence, is designed to evoke harmony and creativity, and will further captivate with a barn inspired studio, easy care sculptural gardens, and an illustrious Brighton location just steps to Bay Street. Retaining all the refinements of its circa 1950 origins, the character rich solid brick residence is securely set behind a lockable gate with video intercom entry, and there is an auto gate to a double remote operated garage. The substantial 524 sqm approx. block has been impeccably landscape designed to celebrate low maintenance living, with paved formal gardens at the front, and a mod grass lawn and bluestone paving at the rear. Inside, the generously proportioned interiors are rich in time honoured features including soaring ornate ceilings, decorative cornices, and original fireplaces. Polished timber boards flow through the expansive ground floor layout, comprising the four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and the extended open plan living space, which is abundant in northerly light and features a hand stacked stone wall around a Heat & Glo gas log flame heater, and a gourmet central kitchen with stone benchtops, timber veneer cabinetry and Miele appliances. Bifolding glass sliding doors open out on two sides to undercover alfresco decks, that are edged in manicured greenery, including a pair of cloud pruned olive trees. The lush greenery is delightfully brought inside via two light courts, one that is viewable from the built in bathtub in the master bedroom ensuite, and another from the fourth bedroom.
