1 Lockwood Ave, Brighton East VIC 3187

On an impressive 1276m2 approx. with a great depth of rear garden and potential, this considerable up to five bedroom two bathroom brick period home is ready to write its next family chapter. Much loved for the last 42 years, this single level haven enjoys a leadlight entrance to the wide foyer, a north facing lounge with vintage sliding doors to the parquetry floored dining area that spills out to an east facing stone courtyard, an open plan family living and dining area with a Regency wood burning fireplace and a superb kitchen with Ilve 900mm stove, Bosch dishwasher and seamless adjoining laundry.

There’s desirable separation between the generous main bedroom with its roomy walk in robe and renovated adjoining bathroom; and the kids’ wing with three well proportioned bedrooms with built in robes, a fully appointed bathroom and a powder room with external access for swimmers. The large study or fifth bedroom with library adds a point of flexibility. You can entertain crowds outside with a massive gable roofed patio, huge solar heated swimming pool and beautiful open lawn within established boundaries of greenery that emphasize the private nature.

Providing elite potential for renovation, extension, new build or possible redevelopment subject to council approval, this significant property is enhanced with two ducted heating systems, numerous split system air conditioners, ceiling fans, solar panels, garden sheds, a double auto garage with EV charger and a second driveway where you could park another car, boat or trailer. Around the corner from Gardenvale Primary School and Zest in Food café, a short walk to Landcox Park and the Hawthorn Road tram, while moments to the Bay Street shops, Martin Street Village, trains and leading schools.
