Set on a north-facing 615sqm (approx.) allotment, 54 Elliott Street, Cheltenham is a distinctive three bedroom residence offering an impressive combination of generous proportions, enduring original character and exceptional garaging.
Built by its owner-builder and maintained in remarkably well-kept original condition, the home showcases a level of craftsmanship rarely encountered in more contemporary residences. High ceilings, picture rails, solid timber joinery and original timber doors and windows create warmth and authenticity throughout, complemented by distinctive Castlemaine slate detailing that adds further appeal to the facade.
Inside, generous proportions continue. The inviting carpeted living room showcases a custom timber mantle and stone work feature, built-in desk and opening glass doors, while a 9kW split-system provides year-round comfort. The kitchen retains its original charm with pantry storage and is equipped with a New World oven and cooktop.
Three bedrooms are serviced by a central bathroom and two compact ensuite facilities, with four water closets and two showers in total providing an unusually practical arrangement for family living. Original details remain a defining feature, presenting an exceptional foundation for those who appreciate authentic craftsmanship, while offering scope to introduce contemporary updates over time.
Development potential is further enhanced by the site zoning, concrete stumps, three phase power and a 3.1m wide driveway. This access leads to abundant open off-street parking now and allows for future dual occupancy or second dwelling development (STCA).
A spacious backyard and dedicated alfresco area provide further flexibility, while the broad proportions of the home and land offer plenty of opportunity to adapt the property to evolving lifestyle needs.
The location is equally appealing, with Elliott Street Playground and Mentone Racecourse Reserve close by, alongside the shopping, transport and amenity of Mentone and Cheltenham. A selection of highly regarded schools, including Cheltenham East Primary School, Mentone Primary School, Kilbreda College, Mentone Girls' Secondary College, Mentone Grammar and Mentone Girls' Grammar, are all within easy reach, while DFO Moorabbin, Thrift Park Shopping Centre, Westfield Southland and Cheltenham Recreation Reserve further enhance everyday convenience.
For buyers seeking space, substance and genuine versatility, 54 Elliott Street presents a rare opportunity to secure a character-rich home on a substantial north-facing allotment, with garaging and workshop facilities that are exceptionally difficult to replicate.
