1 Norwood Avenue, Brighton VIC 3186

SOLD OFF MARKET

Built in the 1930s as the "almost-beachfront" residence of a famous opera singer, this approx 11300sqft/1,050sqm property takes first place in this prestigious tree lined avenue with a sweeping frontage and a sun-bathed north-facing rear garden.

Meticulously maintained and improved by just one owner over the last 60 years, this substantial three bedroom, two bathroom Spanish Mission home showcases refined style with grand formal rooms, a bright sun-room and a pretty "breakfast-room" - all oriented to gorgeously groomed gardens at every turn. Featuring all classic 1930's detail, grand oak panelled hallway and ornate moulded ceilings throughout. Master-suite with dressing-room and a decadent marble spa-ensuite and a timeless Corian kitchen, this centrally heated and air-conditioned home offers modern comforts including an alarm and double-auto garaging with workshop/store-room set within lush tank-watered gardens.

Live the gracious life beyond the arched entry of this timeless period beauty, or use this solid brick home as the base for a once-in-a-lifetime renovation. Alternatively, breathe new life into this iconic beachside address with the grand estate it so richly deserves. With room for a north-south tennis court, pool and luxury home, this Diva's former home is inarguably a Dress Circle opportunity.
