Edwardian Entertainer on the Edge of Martin St Village

One of the fine red-brick beauties that make the Martin St precinct so desirable, this three bedroom plus study-area, 2.5 bathroom Edwardian home offers a well-considered design for today with a traditional formal lounge for quiet times, an expansive family zone to lounge, dine and entertain, and a grand master-domain with ensuite and retreat for parental peace and privacy. <br/><br/>Designed to entertain inside-out in all seasons, the broad-lawned backyard dives into summer with a heated swim-spa and welcomes cooler nights with a panel-heated, awning-shaded al fresco pavilion extending to a sunken fire-pit area. With a versatile multi-purpose room (with third WC) alongside the pool, there’s even a place for gym, kids’ retreat or separate-entry business at home workspace. <br/><br/>Timeless by design with a glossy granite and prestige appliance kitchen with Bosch dishwasher to add to entertaining living and a clever fitted-study to add to work-life balance, this centrally heated and reverse-cycle air-conditioned home fits a modern family with a stylish ensuite and skylit family bathroom, great storage including robes for each bedroom and quality appointments including plantation-shutters, an alarm and wired Bose speakers. <br/><br/>Grand with period proportions and gracious with Edwardian detail including an open-fireplace for each living zone, solid timber floors including restored Baltic Pine boards, the home is set in groomed grounds with parking on a red-brick drive including a double carport. With all you could need for a lovely family life today, there’s also excellent scope to step up to the next level tomorrow with a luxury upgrade and extension to capitalise on this leafy lovely address. <br/><br/>Just around the corner from the cafés and shopping of Martin St village and less than 500m to Gardenvale station, this is yesterday’s beauty meets today’s beautiful life; in reach of all the Brighton schools (Star of the Sea and St James Primary School are one block away), two stops down the line to Church St and a 19 minute rail commute to the CBD. <br/><br/>
