31 Vautier Street
Elwood

A magnificent transformation has created large-scale living at its finest, metres from the beach and Ormond Road's cafes and shops. The classic origins of "Clonmel" are merged with a state-of-the-art renovation, with four living and dining areas, four bedrooms and a large study, and contemporary outdoor living with a pool. The home of a designer on the original Elwood Hill Estate, today's luxury includes a spectacular double-height dining area that was once home to a ballroom dancing school, Ilve kitchen with marble feature wall, large main bedroom with marble tiled ensuite, and a mezzanine study with bay view. The sense of space, privacy and refinement is first-class, on land of 668 square metres approx. Original features include a grand central hallway with high ceilings and a tessellated tiled floor, marble fireplaces, and a bluestone cellar. Impressive design reveals zoned bedrooms, family room with bifold doors opening onto a deck, hydronic heating and split-system air conditioners, remote-control blinds, outdoor shower, solar-heated pool, and easy garage access. One of Elwood's finest Victorian homes in a leafy beachside street, with an outstanding blend of character, exacting design and quality.
