8 Talofa Avenue, Brighton East, Vic 3187

Love this big beautiful Californian dream today, then dream about the possibilities for tomorrow! A true garden sanctuary at a famously leafy address, this approx 737sqm property offers a cleverly extended five bedroom, 2 bathroom, dual zone Californian Bungalow for today ...and extravagant land to develop or build a dream home in the future.

Fit a modern family in this impeccably presented period home and enjoy a well-zoned, dual-living accommodation with bay-windowed lounge, beautiful dining and big family living-dining flowing to a glass-canopied al fresco area. Cleverly designed with separate zones for parents (in a garden-view master-suite with walk-in robe and elegant ensuite) and a rear bedroom wing for the kids (with its own smart separate-entry), this family-wise design even offers a choice of a fifth bedroom to double as a home-office.

Retaining all the beauty of the original era with grand proportions, tall windows, and lofty ceilings, this centrally-heated home features the highest quality renovation of its time with a classic country-style timber kitchen with Miele dishwasher, authentic parquetry and Australian hardwood floors, multiple skylights and endless storage including linen presses and a storeroom.

Set in gorgeously groomed garden surrounds with an all-season space to entertain, lush lawns for kids to play, and up to three car parking spaces including carport, there's all you need to grow a family in this leafy sanctuary. Alternatively watch a brand new home or two (Subject to Council Approval) grow on this spectacular site and maximise the lifestyle and value in this blue-chip position.

The dream location for a dream home with the Brighton private and state schools in reach (and in Zone), parks all around and the bus at the end of the street, there's also more than enough room for a rewarding dual-occupancy development minutes to the beach and Church St’s station, shopping and hospitality, and a direct road or rail commute to the CBD.
