Jellis Craig. Positioned within a peaceful no-through enclave, this beautifully presented residence delivers an exceptional family lifestyle where thoughtful renovation, generous proportions and outstanding outdoor living come together in effortless harmony. Surrounded by nature and moments from some of Eltham’s most treasured parklands and trails, the home offers a rare balance of tranquillity and everyday convenience.
A welcoming entry introduces a well-considered floorplan that immediately reveals the home’s warmth and sense of space. An inviting living and dining domain anchored by a combustion fireplace creates a relaxed environment for both everyday living and entertaining, while ornate ceiling roses and oversized cornices add an elegant character element. The expansive main suite provides a peaceful retreat, complete with walk-in robe and beautifully renovated ensuite finished in a timeless grey and white palette. A flexible study at the front of the home offers an ideal work-from-home environment.
At the centre of the home, the kitchen forms a natural gathering point for family life. Sleek white cabinetry, stone benchtops and quality Bosch appliances, including induction cooking, are complemented by excellent storage and thoughtful details such as USB power points and a quiet externally vented exhaust system. A striking bifold servery window connects the kitchen seamlessly to the outdoor alfresco, enhancing the home’s strong indoor–outdoor connection.
The alfresco domain is a true highlight, thoughtfully designed for year-round entertaining beneath a fully insulated veranda roof. A built-in town gas barbecue, integrated outdoor strip heater and television create an inviting entertaining space that overlooks a pancake-flat grassed yard, fully fenced and ideal for children or pets. Additional enclosed off-street parking further enhances the practicality of the outdoor setting.
The rear of the home provides excellent family zoning, headlined by an oversized rumpus room wired for surround sound. Yamaha ceiling speakers positioned in the kitchen allow for zoned music throughout the living areas. Two further bedrooms are serviced by a stylishly renovated central bathroom featuring bath, shower and vanity. The laundry has also been impressively updated, offering generous storage, internal ventilation and both internal and external clothesline systems.
Internal access from the double garage ensures everyday convenience, while an extensive list of inclusions enhances the home’s comfort, efficiency and functionality. These include a 6kW solar system with 10.1kWh battery, 5-star four-zone ducted heating, evaporative cooling, ducted vacuum, internet-controlled irrigation, smart lighting, automatic curtains in the lounge, CCTV with smart doorbell, security alarm, Google Nest smart smoke alarms and remote electric driveway gates. Two water tanks service the garden, with one connected to the automated sprinkler system, while a solar-powered roof exhaust fan further supports energy efficiency.
Additional practical features include loft storage to the garage, a solid workbench and tool pegboard, built-in lounge entertainment cabinetry, a plumbed fridge cavity, Foxtel wiring, and a garden shed with internal shelving. Two north-facing clotheslines further enhance everyday functionality.
The location is equally compelling, surrounded by some of Eltham’s most beautiful natural amenities including Barak Bushlands, Eltham Lower Park, Petty’s Orchard, Griffith Park and the Yarra River with its accompanying walking trail network. Families will also appreciate the convenience of primary and secondary schools within walking distance, bus services at the end of Falkiner Street, nearby Bolton Street shops and Eltham Station approximately a 25-minute walk away.
