Overview

30 Centre Road, Brighton East, 3187

This single-level weatherboard home masterfully combines the timeless charm of a California Bungalow with modern family functionality and contemporary living. Boasting five bedrooms plus a study, the residence offers generous proportions and light-filled living spaces, all set within a beautiful garden environment in a highly sought-after beachside Brighton East location.

Behind a traditional picket fence with automated driveway gates, the circa-1925 home presents enduring street appeal. An inviting undercover verandah and a classic leadlight panel front door welcome you into the home’s period character, further enhanced inside by Baltic pine flooring, soaring ceilings, ornate fireplaces, and intricate timber fretwork details. The skylit central hallway leads to the main open-plan living and dining area, recently updated and reconfigured to include a free-standing wood fire-heater that serves as a stylish focal point.

The kitchen is a sleek, modern space defined by a stone-topped island illuminated by designer copper pendant lighting. It is filled with abundant northern light and equipped with premium Miele appliances, including a gas cooktop, double oven, and integrated dishwasher. Glass sliding doors provide seamless indoor-outdoor flow to a full-width undercover alfresco deck featuring mood lighting and a ceiling fan. The private rear lawn is beautifully hedged with lush jasmine and includes a charming mini-house cubby, perfect for children.

A versatile second living or study area, which could serve as a sixth bedroom, also opens to the deck through French doors. The laundry has been newly renovated and includes drying racks. The main bathroom is a luxurious, skylit space with floor-to-ceiling tiles, a built-in bathtub, walk-in shower, and stone vanity.

The main bedroom, positioned at the front of the home, offers a luxurious retreat with a custom-fitted walk-in robe and a mosaic-tiled ensuite featuring a walk-in double shower and stone vanity. Four additional bedrooms showcase bespoke period features, including a front room with a box bay leadlight window and another with a fireplace and mantle.

Additional features include ducted heating, split system heating and cooling, ceiling fans, new carpets, sheer curtains, a security alarm, a garden shed, and a double carport with a power outlet.

Ideally located for beachside living, the home is just a short walk to Dendy Village and centrally positioned between Bay Street and Church Street shopping precincts and train stations. Brighton Beach is nearby, along with prestigious private schools such as St Leonard’s College, Haileybury Grammar, Brighton Grammar, and Firbank Grammar.
