16 Loller Street,
BRIGHTON

OBVIOUS

This is a home with original Edwardian charm that has been tastefully brought into 2022 with a contemporary renovation — situated in Melbourne’s premium suburb of Brighton. Loller Street is known for keeping quiet with low traffic, a family demographic, and street-appeal that looks as pretty as a picture.

There are four bedrooms, a WFH study, and four communal spaces for living and dining to cater to all introverts and extroverts within the house. The main lounge features restored original windows and an open fireplace, while the family room has a double-height ceiling for space and light to flood throughout.

Each level includes two bedrooms — three of which have built-in-robes — and a renovated bathroom sits on each floor. Natural timber flooring has been used for rooms where spills occur, while pure wool carpet features in spaces you would typically be barefoot. Plantation shutters have been used across most windows, with a front veranda for people-watching, and two sheds on the property to store golf clubs (or anything else, really).

The kitchen is generous in proportions and in style. Storage has been front-of-mind with plenty of cabinetry and Miele appliances taking preference, however entertaining was clearly underlined in the renovation brief — the open floorplan grants the back bifold glass doors access to the lush garden.

The landscaping has been meticulously designed to create an oasis within your block, with low-maintenance lawn beneath your feet and mass plantings of gardenias, roses, and liriope. You’re sitting 1.5km from infamous Brighton Beach, an easy five-minute walk to Middle Brighton Station, and an 11-minute walk to Coles Local Brighton.

SEALS THE DEAL

Don’t lift a finger. The transformation work has already been done, combining the best of the original form like the established tree shading the front of the home, and modern upgrades to cater to every comfort.
