360B New Street, Brighton VIC 3186

5-bedroom Brighton house | Federation-era transformed | solar and pool | zoned for Elsternwick Primary and Elwood College This property’s competitive strength lies in its rare combination of scale and location: a five-bedroom Federation-era house on a 483-square-metre lot, fully modernised with solar panels and a swimming pool, in a suburb where family homes of this size are tightly held. The internal area of 343 square metres positions it well for buyers seeking generous living space without a sprawling land commitment, and the absence of bushfire, flood, or heritage overlays simplifies due diligence. It suits a family prioritising school catchments and immediate amenity over renovation potential. The primary risk is the lot’s relatively modest size for Brighton—55 percent building coverage limits future expansion or a pool house addition without council negotiation. The 1910 original structure may conceal maintenance needs behind the modern finish, and the rental listing suggests possible vacancy or vendor motivation, which could soften negotiation leverage. For an owner-occupier, the property functions as a turnkey family home; for an investor, the rental yield should be modelled conservatively given the high-value bracket. Hold for lifestyle use rather than short-term capital gain.
