3 Spray Street
Elwood

Retaining all the character and charm of its 1920s Bungalow origins, this architecturally renovated, freestanding and extended four-bedroom Elwood family sanctuary with resort-style pool and spa has recently undergone an aesthetic and technological transformation designed to enhance contemporary liveability in this leafy lifestyle neighbourhood, just moments to Elsternwick Park, Elwood Village, and the beach.

Set behind automated driveway gates and a bluestone paved and designer landscaped forecourt, the single level brick home has been re-painted, newly floored with engineered oak boards, and the bathrooms and kitchen have been luxuriously updated. Lofty 12-foot ceilings evoke elegant spaciousness which is magnified in the Miller Robertson Architects’ designed rear extension where a 20-foot high living area, edged in automated clerestory windows and gliding glass doors, harmoniously connects to the alfresco entertaining zone featuring a glamorously dark fully tiled 14-metre solar/gas-heated lap pool with spa, extensive timber decking, and low-maintenance mod-grass lawn areas privately bordered in lush established greenery. A sleek stone splashback adds contemporary styling to the central gourmet kitchen equipped with high-end Miele appliances including a 900mm oven, gas cooktop and dishwasher while a central island bench/breakfast bar and walk-in preparation pantry enhance family living and gourmet entertaining. Offering floorplan flexibility, there are three bedrooms with built-in robes, including the spacious main bedroom with a luxe shower ensuite, while the main bathroom has a stone double-vanity, free-standing bath, and walk-in shower. A light-filled formal living room at the front, with original fireplace, could also function as a fourth bedroom or work-from-home space. Additional features include secure off-street parking, an e-vehicle charger, bike storage shed, hydronic heating, split system heating/cooling, heated towel rails in the bathrooms, a laundry with external access, attic storage, under house wine cellar, security alarm system, sound system and garden irrigation. Almost all automated functions, including pool and spa heating, can be controlled via an App. Positioned in an unbeatable lifestyle location, neighboured by Elsternwick Park and Yalukit Willam Nature Reserve, it’s a short walk to Ormond Road Village and Elwood Beach with Elsternwick Station, buses, and elite Brighton schools, including Brighton Grammar and Firbank Grammar also in close proximity.
