1C Cheeseman Avenue, Brighton East, Vic 3187

Located in Brighton East's prized parklands precinct, and just moments to Hawthorn Road trams, this three-bedroom brick home on a 682sqm (approx.) block, offers comfortable and spacious family living for now with potential for renovation (STCA) or take advantage of Bayside Council-approved plans for a Lowe Design & Build dual occupancy redevelopment.

On the market for the first time in more than three decades, the circa 1949 home retains plenty of original charm including high 2.9m (approx.) ceilings and ornate cornices. Stylishly maintained and updated to enhance contemporary family living and entertaining, polished Victorian Ash floorboards flow throughout the open-plan spaces that include a lounge area with an open fireplace, a family/rumpus room, and dining room. The light-filled central kitchen is well-appointed with a Kleenmaid oven, AEG gas cooktop, and Bosch dishwasher, while the classic kitchen sink window looks out over the lovely north-facing back garden and expansive alfresco dining/entertaining deck.

Zoned at the front of the house, the master suite can be closed off from the rest of the house and has a walk-in robe and ensuite. The other two bedrooms have built-in robes and are serviced by the gleaming, renovated main bathroom with built-in tub and walk-in shower. There is also a study/home office (or fourth bedroom) with an access door from the four-car remote-door garage, which also incorporates the laundry/mud room.

On a level allotment, both front and back gardens are well maintained with lush lawn areas and established garden beds and fruit trees including apricot, plum and lemon. There is also a garden shed, a water tank that provides irrigation for the gardens, and the home is fitted with six solar rooftop panels. Also includes central ducted gas heating, plus two split systems and two wall-mounted air conditioners.

Positioned in a family-friendly cul-de-sac, with the convenience of Hawthorn Road trams just metres away, it's just a short walk to Landcox Park, Hurlingham Park and Little Brighton Reserve. Zoned for Gardenvale Primary School and Brighton Secondary College, it's also just a five-minute drive to Martin Street cafes and Bay Street shops.
