101 Cochrane Street, Brighton, VIC, 3186

With plans and permits approved for 5 luxury town residences and 20 metre (approx.) frontage, this picturesque tree-lined setting on the edge of Martin Street Village and elite private schools, this elegant home is a fine example of 1920s architecture on a grand scale, with a full-sized tennis court and unwavering family appeal.

Occupying a deep, wide allotment measuring over 1,650 sqm (approx), this graceful and thoughtfully updated home offers a collection of refined spaces offering flexibility for relaxing, alfresco enjoyment, entertaining and working from home. A host of period features play their part, with sash windows, high decorative ceilings, and open fireplaces adding beautiful ambience and tradition.

From the broad entrance hall, separate formal living and dining rooms set the tone for the unexpected scale within, complementing the modern open plan family room to the rear that seamlessly spills to a paved patio, mature gardens and tennis court. The kitchen is well equipped with a walk-in pantry, Miele dishwasher and a Belling induction stove, while the extensive use of sleek granite benches serves to enhance the timeless allure.

The charm and space continue upstairs, where two generous bedrooms with balcony access and BIRs provide plenty of space for a growing family, alongside a study nook, bathroom and lower-level sitting room. The well-designed main bedroom suite sits hidden within the newer wing, boasting a lavish travertine ensuite and separate home office, while the remaining bedroom has access to a third renovated marble bathroom.

Perfectly comfortable now, the potential exists to reimagine if desired and provides ducted heating, cooling, alarm system, a single garage and plenty of secure driveway parking within a circular driveway close to North Brighton Beach, Elsternwick Park, leading schools, and Gardenvale Station.
