Meticulous renovations bring a new era of easy living to this single-level Edwardian home, five doors from Elsternwick Park and Nature Reserve, close to Elwood's cafes, and blocks from the beach, Elsternwick's shops, trains and trams. "Moyarra" is a brilliant find for matching lifestyle and location, with nothing left to do but love the quality transformation. There's instant street appeal with a beautifully landscaped garden, a light-filled interior with three bedrooms and two living zones, and contemporary flair in the kitchen, ensuite and bathroom. Great care has gone into making this energy-efficient with wall, ceiling and underfloor insulation, double-glazing, ceiling fans and split-system air conditioners. Gaze out to garden spaces from the family room and lounge, love the main bedroom with high ceilings, an upholstered window seat and a freestanding bath in the luxe ensuite, and appreciate having an Ariston induction cooktop and Smeg oven in the kitchen. Outside is just as well-designed with a remote-control gate leading to the garage and off-street parking, a mains-gas barbecue, herb and vegetable garden beds, lilly pilly hedging, and a cubby house. Easy-care perfection in the Elsternwick Primary School zone.
