129 Male Street, Brighton, Vic 3186

Outstandingly located on the edge of Bay Street’s cosmopolitan lifestyle precinct, this original condition double-storey residence, architecturally designed and constructed with double brick walls on 395sqm*, inspires exceptional potential for an architectural renovation or to redevelop (STCA) in one of Brighton’s premier blue ribbon streets. 

Securely positioned behind automated gates and a leafy front garden, there is a paved off-street parking area and a double garage with internal access. An undercover entry portico leads to the tiled entry hall and the ground-level utility spaces including a large living/rumpus room which could be renovated to provide self-contained accommodation with 1-2 additional bedrooms (STCA). There is also a laundry and powder room, and a rear access door to a shady undercover alfresco zone, and the compact rear garden. Upstairs are the expansive light-filled living and dining rooms that flow on to a balcony, with leafy treetop neighbourhood views, and a central kitchen. The main bedroom has far-reaching views with church spires providing landmarks, and there is a walk-in robe with storage and an ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom has a built-in robe with storage, as well as extensive book shelving, and the second bathroom has a walk-in shower. A laundry chute is conveniently located upstairs.
