Elwood

Evoking all the sunlit glory of a tropical oasis in one of Elwood’s most coveted positions, this superbly renovated and surprisingly house-like two bedroom villa enjoys a whisper-quiet setting while creating meaningful connections to two sundrenched courtyards where the aspirations of entertainers, families and pet owners alike can be satisfied in style. Set to the rear of the boutique, circa-1930s ‘Comer Court’ block, this is an exceedingly rare discovery just metres from the sands of Elwood Beach and from the coffees of Ormond Road, all with the added prize of its own lock-up garage.

Upon entry, this immaculately presented and freshly painted home reveals attractive polished hardwood flooring throughout a vast open-plan and north-facing dining / living room that is underpinned by an updated kitchen with Miele cooking, while flowing outdoors to a divine courtyard that is partially sheltered by exotic palm trees. Meanwhile, a second deck basks in afternoon sun and is equally suited to entertaining, sheltered both by an awning and an established lemon tree that also invites your guests to simply reach out, grab a lemon and refresh their drinks as needed. Further highlights include a huge primary bedroom with built-in robes, a superb bathroom with separate laundry and a cubby / shed in the rear courtyard, as well as split system heating / air conditioning.

Poised for a blissful bayside lifestyle with easy city access from this dream location on the cusp of Ormond Road’s village-like charm and moments from all the shopping options, restaurants, cinemas, city-bound trams and trains of Elsternwick.
