16 Shasta Avenue
Brighton East

Enviably positioned in a family-focussed beachside Brighton East neighbourhood, this much-cherished four-bedroom single-level generational family home is on the market for the first time in 44 years and will captivate with its impressive Art Deco features and its generously proportioned free-flowing floorplan that translates well to contemporary living, inspiring updating, renovation, or redevelopment (STCA).

Privately positioned on 658 square metres behind a high, traditional brick and picket fence, a security coded automatic entry gate opens to a brick paved forecourt, edged by neatly landscaped established gardens. A double undercover carport matches the style of the ornate brickwork and stucco-clad home, while an arched entry vestibule introduces the home’s grand Art Deco origins which are further magnified inside with a feature fireplace in the formal dining room and stunning geometric themed plasterwork ceilings. The spacious layout is perfectly suited to contemporary family living and incorporates north-facing formal living and dining rooms, and a light-filled zoned main bedroom with built-in robes and shower ensuite. Centrally positioned and equipped with Miele appliances including an oven and dishwasher, the kitchen heads the expansive main living/family room, with open fireplace, and a series of multi-paned windows and glass doors that open out to the private rear garden and paved alfresco zone. There are another three bedrooms, all with built-in robes, and the central family bathroom has a corner spa bath, twin vanities, and a separate shower. There is also a large laundry/utility room, plenty of built-in storage, central heating, and a lockable garage/shed/workshop.

This property is superbly located in a low-traffic, family-focussed street a short stroll to Hampton Street’s Dendy Village shops and cafes, centrally positioned within strolling distance to both Church Street and, Bay Street precincts, the beach, Dendy Park, Brighton Golf Club and Brighton’s choice of prestigious schools. Transport is also super convenient, as it’s just metres to the bus-stop and in walking distance to the Hawthorn Road tram and Middle and North Brighton Stations.
