145 South Road, Brighton East VIC 3187

Celebrating the utmost in cutting-edge mid-20th-century architecture, this resplendently presented, circa 1961 four-bedroom Brighton East residence retains all the classic style hallmarks of the modernist era, complemented by luxurious contemporary enhancements and featuring a spacious, zoned layout, perfect for effortless family living and impressive entertaining.

Privately set behind automated gates on a low-maintenance 825sqm approx. block, the solid brick home’s oversized front door introduces its generously proportioned and light-filled dimensions. Original polished slate crazy-paved flooring, ‘popcorn’ ceilings and vibrant glass splashbacks set a delightful modernist tone, while an open timber staircase, which leads to the second-storey extension, alludes to the home’s contemporary liveability and zoned floorplan. The downstairs layout comprises the abundantly glazed north-facing open plan living/dining area with an open fireplace, a theatre room, two bedrooms, including the main, both with built-in robes, and a stunning main bathroom. The centrally positioned entertainer’s kitchen is equipped with Neff cooking appliances and a Bosch dishwasher. Floor-to-ceiling glass borders a decked central alfresco decked courtyard, while a wall of glass with sliding doors edges the rear entertaining terrace, complemented by a built-in traditional sauna, while a towering palm tree adds to the strong Palm Springs vibe. There are a further two bedrooms upstairs, another bathroom, and a second living area/retreat. Additional features include a double carport plus plenty of off-street parking, laundry with external access, ducted heating and cooling plus split systems.

On the market for the first time in 25 years, this outstanding beachside family ‘oasis of calm’ is within steps to both St. Leonard’s and Haileybury colleges, with fabulous cafes and boutiques of Hampton Street just moments away, and close to the wonderful leisure amenities of Dendy Park and Brighton Beach.
