Time for a Sea Change….. being just 400 metres from the magnificent ocean at Brighton Beach, this enviable lifestyle awaits someone looking for fresh air, tranquil sunsets and cosmopolitan living at its best.
The famous Jetty Rd Cafes, quality restaurants and boutique shopping are just some of the attractions of living here, not to mention the ease of public transport straight to the CBD. (across the road).
This immaculate Federation homestead with return verandahs was built for the former Mayor of Brighton in 1914 who was a member of the South Australian Parliament for 30years and is steeped in history.
The home still stands today in all its former glory with not a crack in sight – a very rare find indeed. Upon entering the front door you’ll be amazed at the quality this home exudes from every aspect. Whether it’s the wide hallways with original fretwork, the 12′ ornate ceilings and cornices throughout, or the Baltic Pine polished floorboards, it’s simply stunning!

The formal lounge offers a box bay window with antique leadlight windows which makes for a relaxed seating area whilst reading your favourite book. The open fireplace, with original tiling and ornate mantel has some family history of its own.
The formal dining room is of grand proportions, offers a built-in, antique bookcase with glass panelled doors & includes an original fireplace with a gas log fire installed, complimented by its own magnificent mantelpiece.
The main bedroom is light-filled and spacious. The original leadlight windows are just amazing, and all in fantastic condition.
The windows, like every room in the home, are adorned with quality drapes and pelmets and you can also enjoy the ambience of the open-fire in your bedroom …. very romantic.
Bedroom two is double in size and offers an open-fireplace and antique corner wardrobe.
The third bedroom, also double in size was the original kitchen many years ago.
The cavity where the oven was located is now a cupboard although the overhead mantel still remains and makes for a lovely historical feature.
Adjacent to this room is the original bathroom with heritage tiling, bath and separate shower. There is also a huge storage cupboard next door, originally used as a walk in robe.
The kitchen has been newly built and boasts quality “Blanco” stainless steel appliances, with extra wide oven and gas cook-top with a wok burner.
The bench tops are made of Corian and the cupboard storage space is abundant.
There is a timber hutch that opens up to the family room for easy entertaining.
There is a newly built extension which has been cleverly constructed inside and out in keeping with the age of the dwelling, which includes the matching of leadlight windows, Baltic Pine doors and windows.
This extension consists of a family room overlooking the rear garden that has easy access through French doors. The fourth bedroom is double in size, has built-in wardrobes and has a full sized ensuite bathroom with corner spa bath, wash stand, separate shower, heritage tiling and thermostat control water system. There is also a powder room that completes the extension.
The home situated on a corner allotment of 648 sq mtrs, has great off- street undercover parking for two cars. A large workshop with concrete floor and power will please the handyman, or someone looking for extra storage.
This property has been beautifully maintained throughout the years, and tells a historical story, right down to the original Tecoma hedge and cottage gardens.
It is an absolute credit to the current owners who have made this their family home for the past 41 years.
The condition is arguably one of the best in Brighton that you will find today.
