19 Lawrence Street, Brighton, Vic 3186

Tucked away in a premium pocket, merely moments to the very heart of Brighton, this irresistible period cottage offers the appeal of yesteryear with exciting potential for tomorrow.

Occupying approximately 379sqm with the northern sunshine glistening across the leafy backyard, the weatherboard home - known as ‘Elysium’ - is eye-catching from the road thanks to a tranquil picket-fenced front garden and original verandah showcasing delicate iron lacework.

Inside, soaring ceiling and decorative plasterwork along with two handsome fireplaces enrich the interiors which provide two generous bedrooms to the front both with fitted wardrobes. Out to the rear, the open plan entertaining area extends to the smart kitchen with stone benchtops and a feature burgundy oven, while doors open out to the sheltered alfresco patio which is a serene and private space to enjoy with loved ones.

The garage has been adapted to provide versatile extra living space or an additional bedroom – still leaving a generous storage facility at the front. A neat bathroom and practical laundry are also on offer together with the comfort of a split system heating/cooling, a garden shed and onsite parking.

A much loved and very comfortable property with enormous allure, there is also scope galore to further enhance and possibly extend, perhaps taking inspiration from existing plans (lapsed) – subject to council approval.

This is a prestige Brighton location in the Billilla Mansion district. An easy walk to Church Street’s boutique retail, glorious dining options and station, close to bus stops and parklands, there are also elite private schooling and Cabrini Hospital readily on hand.
