19 Burns Street
Elwood

Occupying approximately 708sqm within one of Elwood's most picturesque tree-lined streets, this freestanding Edwardian residence has been extended over time to create an exceptional five-bedroom, three-bathroom home that celebrates its rich heritage while embracing contemporary family living. A tuck-pointed solid brick façade, wrap-around tessellated verandah introduce interiors of unexpected proportion, where high ceilings extend through the broad entrance hall before revealing multiple living zones and a spectacular deep rear garden, just moments from the area’s best schools, city-bound transport and the beach.

Double doors reveal the front north-facing living and rumpus rooms where French doors open onto a honed bluestone terrace and secure garden, luxuriating in northern sun and surrounded by established greenery. Sun-drenched open-plan living and dining domains continue to the rear, set beneath dramatic high ceilings and expansive glazing, designed to connect effortlessly outdoors. A gas fireplace adds warmth to the substantial living and dining domain, whilst the kitchen, appointed with Bosch, Miele and Smeg appliances, sits at its centre before two sets of bi-fold doors draw the entire space out to a covered alfresco with a built-in mains gas barbecue, overlooking a deep lawn shaded by a magnificent established palm.

Outstanding family accommodation spans two levels, including two ground floor bedrooms with walk-in robes, highlighted by a main suite with ornate ceilings and ensuite. A garden-view home office and central family bathroom complete the lower level, whilst three further bedrooms and a third bathroom sit above. An oversized laundry with extensive storage, ducted heating and cooling, split system air conditioning, water tanks, secure gardens, a rear garage or storage shed and two off street car parks complete a remarkable home, positioned within an easy walk of Elsternwick off leash dog park, Yalukit William Reserve, Ormond Road Village, Elwood Primary School and Elwood Secondary College, Brighton Road trams and Elsternwick Station.
