Built circa 1889, ‘Wavertree’ is a magnificent Victorian-era home exuding timeless elegance, impeccable craftsmanship, and an exceptional balance of opulence and space.
Nestled beyond a landscape of French-inspired gardens by renowned designer Andrew Stark, this grand 4/5-bedroom, 4-bathroom family residence is enveloped in a wrap-around verandah featuring timber fretwork and original tessellated tiles in immaculate condition. Rising from bluestone foundations and sitting atop a glorious 1,178sqm (approx.) of land, ‘Wavertree’ is one of Middle Brighton’s most recognised period properties and was originally owned by Pioneer, James Jamieson.
Upon entry, ‘Wavertree’ charmingly displays the rich integrity of the Victorian-era detailing. Expertly and painstakingly maintained, lofty ceilings, grand proportions and original Baltic floorboards convey a timeless sense of elegance only found in homes of this calibre. Spacious formal living and dining rooms, both with original fireplaces, offer limitless flexibility and a nod to an era bygone. The open-plan kitchen, comprehensively renovated to suit a modern-day lifestyle, features a suite of high-end appliances including four ovens, three fridge/freezers, three dishwashers and ample storage suited to the needs of a family.
A cleverly designed extension (completed 2021) connects the kitchen to a north-facing dining & lounge area, which flows cleverly beyond sliding glass doors to a generous grassed area, BBQ/alfresco, plus a solar and gas heated lap pool & spa. The modern extension also provides a rare, supersized double garage not commonly seen in period homes.
In the master bedroom, a large walk-in robe and luxurious ensuite offer a spacious private domain, and a further three/four bedrooms each feature original period detailing, fireplaces, and expansive proportions. Three renovated bathrooms offer endless comfort and a flexible floor-plan that caters to all.
An exceptional opportunity in one of Brighton’s most coveted locations, ‘Wavertree’ sits within moments of Brighton & Firbank Grammar Schools, Brighton Beach, Church & Bay St shopping precincts and much more. This timeless address is a rare gem and the perfect opportunity to secure a Victorian-era home that has it all.
