"Marathon" Reveals Grandeur with a Contemporary Edge
High on Church Street Hill is where you'll discover a spectacular revival of a grand Victorian home. Contemporary elegance sits superbly with the original splendor, and the result is magnificent. Four living zones are refined and welcoming, with a light-filled family room opening out to a self-cleaning pool and gourmet garden. A grand entry foyer, high ceilings, marble fireplaces, original leadlight, a two-way staircase and verandahs on each level are reminders of this home's beautiful origins. Built circa 1890, "Marathon" is one of an Italianate pair and comprises four bedrooms, a gracious lounge, casual living and an Ilve kitchen, children's playroom, and a grand study/fifth bedroom. Every room is exquisite, including the large main bedroom. Designer landscaping has created an outdoor oasis with bluestone paving around the pool, an original maid's fireplace provides alfresco warmth, and established plantings sit alongside espaliered citrus trees, herbs and passionfruit with garden irrigation. Every essential is here, off street parking on Church St and rear access to ROW from Well St. Metres from cafes, shops and Middle Brighton station, this grand home is moments from schools
