First time offered in 100 years, this delightful cottage (c1926) is as neat as a pin, full of period character, and ready to enjoy while you plan renovations or an extension (STCA). Set in a quiet, private street on approximately 680sqm, its a home your family will love now, with room to grow into later. Inside, a lounge adjoins a separate dining room, while the kitchen offers electric cooking and a meals area.

Three bedrooms include one with a fireplace that works beautifully as a study or additional living zone. Theres also a central bathroom, laundry, a second toilet with outdoor access, and double glazing to the north-facing front window. Extensive updates have already been completed, including restumping, replastering, rewiring, replumbing and adding insulation to internal and external walls as well as ceilings.

A cost-efficient, low environmental impact home, it features solar panels (installed 2008), water tanks, induction cooking, an electric car charger and wiring for a future heat-pump hot water system. The deep backyard offers a fully wired workshop, garage, two sheds, undercover parking for two cars and extra off-street space, still leaving plenty of lawn for backyard cricket. For those looking ahead, there are previously approved plans for a double-storey extension plus sketch plans for a single-storey option.

Zoned for sought-after Gardenvale Primary School and Brighton Secondary College, you can walk to trams, several kindergartens, North Brighton Station, Bay Streets dining, shopping and cinema, and Landcox Park, with the bay close enough to make beach walks part of your weekly routine. Glen Huntly Roads shopping strip and Bentleigh Village are also within easy reach. Secure it now and make the next chapter yours.
