16 Hall Street, Brighton VIC 3186

Occupying an allotment of approximately 895 square metres, this original beauty has timeless elegance and endearing character which meld fluidly with modern living in this delightful family residence. Surrounded by enchanting gardens, the generously proportioned home has been updated and extended both upwards and outwards to include a family/dining room, sitting/TV room and superb entertainer's kitchen with granite benchtops, two Smeg ovens, induction and gas cooktops and a curved central island bench/breakfast bar.

Beneath the natural shade of a vine-entwined pergola, the alfresco patio gazes out to the sparkling pool and child-friendly lawn complete with cubby house and slide.

Along with the second bedroom and bathroom, the master ensuite bedroom sits desirably on the lower level. Another two bedrooms on the upper level as well as a third bathroom and fitted study area create an idyllic retreat for the kids, while a fifth bedroom offers the versatility to be set up as a home office if needed. A large studio is sure to appeal to the keen hobbyist or handyman in the family.

With a turreted façade adding a nuance of storybook romance, the home also features ducted heating, off-street parking for three cars, a storage shed and patterned ceilings. Only doors from Billilla mansion and gardens and walking distance to top schools and upmarket Church Street's shops, boutiques, restaurants, Dendy Cinema and Middle Brighton Train Station.
