Emboldened by its placement among a prestigious, heritage-laced pocket, this revitalised gem deftly blends classic and contemporary; a quaint and charismatic retreat primed for family life. Framed by the tall, converging trees that see Cochrane Street regarded as one of Brighton’s most attractive, an alluring facade showcases the detail typical of its Edwardian roots, preceding an interior rich with modern flair. Trendy tones and wide-board oak floors form a charming, coastal palette, while fireplaces, leadlight windows, and ceiling rosettes offer a nod to old-world origins. Glancing across thriving foliage, front bedroom and living spaces complement a large master and two additional kids’ rooms, together served by excellent storage, a stylish central bathroom, and walk-in robe/in-vogue ensuite pairing to master. With approved plans and permits in place for an architect-design extension, an instantly enjoyable back section’s broad dining area flanks a kitchen fit for the avid home chef, with a 900m Smeg cooker and Asko dishwasher joined by extensive cabinetry and stone bench space. A substantial backyard highlights the broader parcel’s impressive dimensions, providing several driveway spaces (accessed via May Street), a lock-up garage, and ample room for kids to play while adults entertain.
