Overview

Enchanting Freestanding Edwardian in Coveted Locale

In a coveted tree-lined pocket close to the bay, this beautiful freestanding Edwardian residence delivers spacious accommodation, family flexibility and the bonus rare inclusion of gated parking for two cars. Instantly enchanting with its classic brick façade and decorative bay window, the home opens to interiors that are warm and welcoming. Upon entry, a hallway leads past the first two bedrooms one with an original fireplace - and a ground floor bathroom with spa to the vast open plan living/dining zone, which is centred around a cosy Heat & GLO gas fireplace and connected to the rear decked courtyard via a trio of French doors. Perfectly placed for both indoor and outdoor hosting, the sophisticated gourmet kitchen is anchored by a waterfall-edge stone island and impresses with a suite of quality appliances, including a Smeg oven & cooktop and Bosch dishwasher. Offering exceptional privacy, the main bedroom is tucked away upstairs in a quiet zone of its own. With extensive storage and private ensuite, it really is a retreat in every sense. Also offered are ducted heating, split system heating/cooling, plantation shutters, hardwood floors and a full laundry. Combining modern functionality and space with original features such as high ceilings, intricate leadlight, ornate fireplaces and detailed fretwork, this timelessly appealing home is within steps of Jerry's Milkbar, bus stops, St. Kilda Tram 96, and Glen Huntly Rd shops & cafes. Moments from Acland Street, and Elwood's foreshore and beaches, it is also near the suburb's primary schools and secondary college and green expanse of the St Kilda Botanical Gardens.
