31 Champion Street Brighton - James Home Ratings

James Essence

Brighton Family Home with Light, Flow, and Function
Inspected: 20 August 2025

 

This is a well-executed, move-in-ready home on a wide 770sqm block in a strong Brighton family location. Designed with light, flow, and function at its core, it feels complete, confident, and ready for its next chapter.

 

Position & Land

  • Land: 770sqm, good width that adds presence and usability

  • Orientation: East–west block but with clever design that pulls in strong northern light into the living zones

  • Location: Family pocket close to South Road and Hampton Street, ideal for secondary school families

  • Neighbourhood: Stable, in-demand, with strong supporting properties

 

Property & Floorplan

  • Facade/Street Presence: Very good — balanced and appealing

  • Living Areas: Excellent flow and connection, light-filled and family-functional

  • Bedrooms/Bathrooms: All worked well; five bedrooms, four bathrooms – no redesign needed

  • Study: Front-positioned, a strong plus for WFH or quiet retreat

  • Kitchen: Central, quality appliances, efficient layout

  • Upstairs: Timber floors noted as unusual, but easily softened with carpet if desired

  • Pool & Yard: Pool positioned well, integrated without dominating yard space

  • Garage: Four-car, rear access, discreet and functional

  • General Feel: A “great feeling home” — natural layout, volume, and light working in unison

 

Price & Market

  • Quote: $4.98M (top of range)

  • Market Context: Price feels firm but fair in line with quality and land

  • Comparables:

    • 90 Dendy St, Brighton – $5.6M (766sqm)

    • 66 Champion St, Brighton – $5.125M (858sqm)

    • 100 Roslyn St, Brighton – $4.608M (721sqm)

  • Market Likelihood: Strong chance of selling — well-matched to current family demand

 

Buyer Fit

Best suited to families with 2–3 secondary school children (4 at a stretch), looking for a home with minimal compromise. Not a renovator’s play — this is for buyers wanting a finished product in a proven Brighton pocket.

 

Summary

A modern, family-ready Brighton performer. On inspection it ticked every major box: light, flow, function, and location. The asking price of $4.98M is ambitious but not unrealistic. This is a home that should, and most likely will, sell.
