Architecturally transformed through an award-winning Wood Marsh Architecture extension, this captivating freestanding Edwardian residence delivers substantial family accommodation and visionary style in one of Elwood's most tightly held pockets. One block from the beach and moments from a morning latte at Jerry's Milk Bar, a dramatic double-height wall of glass transforms the rear of the home, drawing natural light deep into the interiors while creating a spectacular backdrop for entertaining.
Original Baltic pine floors and magnificent pressed metal ceilings introduce the traditional front rooms before giving way to an extraordinary rear addition, where spotted gum flooring continues beneath a soaring wall of leaning glass. A gas fireplace adds warmth to the expansive family living and dining area, while the contemporary kitchen is centred on an oversized island, complemented by a walk-in pantry and fitted with premium Miele appliances, including dual pyrolytic ovens, 900mm cooking appliances, and an integrated dishwasher, creating an exceptional space for passionate home cooks. Entertaining extends to the seamless decked courtyard beneath a retractable awning with a mains gas connection for the barbecue, while a separate living room with an original fireplace and adjoining alcove provides an inviting children's TV/living or study space.
A front home office with a leadlight box bay window and a pressed-metal ceiling offers excellent flexibility, while a graceful, curved staircase at the rear rises to four further bedrooms. The impressive main bedroom enjoys a fitted walk-in robe and a striking ensuite, one of two recently renovated bathrooms, alongside a central family bathroom with a skylight and deep bath. Appointed with a huge family-sized laundry featuring full-height storage, extensive linen storage throughout, hydronic heating, reverse-cycle heating and cooling, garden irrigation, solar power, remote blinds, landscaped front gardens and secure off-street parking behind a motorised gate, this exceptional home is completed by a coveted Elwood address, moments from the 96 tram, Elwood Village, leading schools and the waterfront walking trails of Ormond Point.
