And now for something completely different - a townhouse with character and charm! Certainly, this excellent property has all the modernity you might desire, but it goes that extra distance thanks to strong architectural values, first-rate presentation and a good dose of the X Factor.

The spotlight is firmly on this being a family home yet it also displays a skillful maximisation of space, a clever focus on openness and natural light, a smart blend of formal and informal living and entertaining areas, the careful zoning of living and sleeping areas, and the welcome inclusion of a lovely alfresco area thats paved, private and sophisticated.

Polished hardwood flooring is a feature of the ground floor where theres a formal living & dining room which can be closed off looking out to the pretty front garden. The open informal living room, out to the courtyard, includes a trendy skylit kitchen - all gleaming easy-clean cabinetry and granite benchtops and splashbacks. The study is on the ground floor with nearby full bathroom.

Upstairs has been designed with contemporary flair, interesting angles work to great effect on the windows, and skylights enhance the warm ambience. There are built-in wardrobes in the 3 bedrooms, a family bathroom and a pristine ensuite with boldly coloured wall tiles.

Not only does this delightful home have all the desirable inclusions to make contemporary life as relaxing as possible hydronic panel heating; refrigerative AC; security alarm; intercom entry; remote control front gate and garage door; direct entry to the house from the garage, but it also typifies low maintenance liveability - the only way to go these days!

Its a family-friendly location here - easily accessing all the amenities and facilities of bayside Brighton.
