Here’s what the Agent said about it…

Now known as Grainger Place,
299 New Street was the birthplace of world renowned
Australian musician and composer
George Percy Grainger on the 8th July, 1882.

Problem is I’ve never heard of him.
Oh well, I imagine Brighton was a tad different
when he was born there some 130yrs ago!

And wouldn’t he lurve the home now!


Black n White, yes, but I like it sometimes…


I think the kitchen is small for the house,
but I love the black stools so much!!!

Hey for a 130yr old home, this study is fantastic!
Notice the skirting boards – HUGE!

I think this bathroom is divine!


AND here’s the Master Plan!

AND Here’s What the Agent Said about it!

Refurbished to a rare level of perfection/ Victorian grandeur merges with 21st Century
Birth place of Percy Grainger

Set to become an iconic Brighton address, this magnificent 3 bedroom residence offers an unparalleled standard of sophisticated family living where Victorian grandeur merges with 21st Century spaces and exquisite appointments.

Now known as Grainger Place, 299 New Street was the birthplace of world renowned Australian musician and composer George Percy Grainger on the 8th July, 1882.
The majestic Victorian home (circa 1880) standing on the 479sqm (5,156sqft) approx site has been completely refurbished from the foundations up. The meticulous attention to detail is immediately apparent from the external refurbishment that includes rendered brick walls which were a hallmark of classic Brighton Homes in the mid 1880’s. It comprises a grand entry hall with a stately archway, three bedrooms, main opens to private grassed courtyard and boasts a sumptuous ensuite with separate shower and bath and double basin vanity; an elegant formal living and dining room with a marble surround open fireplace, a vast open plan living area with kitchen, meals and informal living spaces that opens to a wraparound courtyard garden through three sets of French Doors; custom-built home office/study; powder room and laundry. The kitchen showcases Miele appliances, granite benchtops and timber cabinetry. Highlights include high ceilings, ornate cornices, deep skirting boards, central heating, air conditioning and much more. Plus there are four car spaces, two of which are covered.

Wonderfully located, it’s within easy walking distance of the beach, leading schools, railway station, restaurants and the sophisticated Church Street and Bay Street shopping precincts.

WOW

    Beautiful house, but not a fan of the kitchen. You're right, it does seem small for the scale of the rest of the house, and the colour of the cupboards just doesn't grab me.

    That said I would still live there 🙂
