3 Cambridge Street, Brighton East, Vic 3187

Retaining all the stylistic hallmarks of its circa-1930s origins, this classic solid brick 3-bedroom California Bungalow set on a 697sqm* north-south facing block in Brighton East’s prized parklands precinct presents an outstanding opportunity for restoration, renovation, or redevelopment (STCA).

Set behind a high picket fence in a quiet, leafy street, this family-friendly neighbourhood is just a short stroll to the fabulous leisure amenities of Landcox Park and the sports fields of Hurlingham Park. The home’s original façade is rich in Spanish Mission influences including a wide entrance verandah framed with a trio of arches linked with ornate columns, stucco walls, and stunning leadlight bay windows. Inside, the bespoke traditional craftsmanship continues with intricate ceiling roses, carved timber panelling and picture rails adorning the home’s entry hall and front rooms including a formal lounge and dining, divided by traditional bi-fold doors, with an open fireplace flanked by built-in leadlight side cabinets. Extended several decades ago, the home’s central kitchen faces the sunroom with a door opening out to a paved alfresco area, and the lushly lawned rear garden that receives plenty of northerly sun. There are three bedrooms including the front master with ornate bay/leadlight window, and a rear double-sized room. Also includes a large laundry, single garage/workshop and a long driveway with off-street parking.

This sought-after neighbourhood in the Gardenvale Primary School zone comprises a mix of renovated and established family homes and new luxury townhouse developments. It’s just a few minutes’ walk to both Bay Street and Martin Street shops, cafes, and stations. Enjoy the best of Bayside within easy reach including prestigious private schools, beautiful beaches, the Bay Trail, and boutique shopping.
