30 Clive Street, Brighton East, Vic 3187

High-hedged, corner-sited and oriented to all-day sun, this Art Deco beauty offers single-level living to every stage of life. Unfolding in gracious period style with a versatile possible 3 bedroom floorplan, this superbly solid double-brick home stars a sun-filled lounge facing north across the well-treed front yard, and separate dining opening through wide double French doors to a shady terrace in the generous backyard. There’s even another living zone outdoors in an all-season undercover al fresco area beyond more double French doors and a tri-fold kitchen-servery window.  

Presented in timeless style with a quality kitchen (with gas-cooktop and Bosch dishwasher) and an abundance of additional cabinetry to serve, store and support entertaining, this impeccably styled home features a classic separate laundry, and a bespoke-fitted bathroom with a custom-crafted wall-hung vanity and Italian tiles. Styled with warm wideboard Oak floors, tall full-height mirrored robes and quality window furnishings including custom Roman-blinds, this reverse-cycle air-conditioned home’s rich period detail forms a backdrop to gracious living – complete  two vintage fireplaces and high decorative ceilings.  

 Accessed from Clinton St with sun-catching gardens on three sides, this impressive Art Deco is landscaped for easy maintenance with rows of tall ornamental pears and a lush Murraya hedge adding to the privacy, lawns for kids and pets to play (and even fit the trampoline), and an auto-gated carport for perfect peace of mind. These well-proportioned 459sqm (approx.) corner grounds are beautifully flexible too; with endless space and scope to take this solid home to the next level, and a second crossover to enhance future plans. 

Set amongst the wide nature-strips and leafy treescape of this highly-sought locale with the tram to the CBD and the bus to Church St and Bay St’s stations and cafes at the end of the street, even this location offers options for every stage of life. With a choice of Dendy, Hurlingham and Landcox Parks within a walk, and a good assortment of cafes and shopping nearby on Hawthorn Rd, there are the central Brighton private schools in reach, and in-demand Bentleigh West Primary School in Zone.
