6 Primrose Crescent

Brighton East VIC 3187

A host of wonderful features combine to make this period house into a charming home for the modern family. Constructed of solid brick downstairs and with western red cedar cladding on the upper storey, the home exudes comfort and solidness. Outstanding presentation adds to the appeal.
The home was probably built c. 1920s, and has front rooms of excellent size as well as high ceilings, picture rails, deep skirting boards and decorative cornices. The formal lounge room at the front of the house has an elegant ambience and the addition of a stylish electric 'log' fire with flame effect. The formal dining room, with archway, is extra spacious and has open fireplace and double doors leading out to a wisteria-draped pergola.
The rear of the house is a more recent addition that features space heater, timber flooring and exposed brick walls in an open informal living area overlooked by a smart timber kitchen. The main bedroom is downstairs with a bathroom, powder room, and skylit laundry with ample storage. Upstairs are another 3 bedrooms (2 with BIRs), powder room, bathroom, and box room.
The lovely lush gardens are a standout. A colourful array of cherished plants draws attention and there are several alfresco entertaining areas and relaxing retreats that beckon you outside. It's a garden with plenty of space for children to play. A rainwater tank (with electric pump), grey water use, and a watering system with drippers and timers assist in drought-proofing the garden.
The brick garage in the rear garden has undergone a conversion to residential standard and it now makes an ideal studio/home office with reverse-cycle air conditioning and ladder access to attic storage. There's also a large workshop/shed and off-street parking for 2 cars.
What a find!
