An extraordinary transformation of a stunning solid-brick period classic, this beautifully conceived family home by Alex Savic of Star Architecture delivers breathtaking north-facing living and entertaining amid garden seclusion, in one of Elwood's most tightly held and sought-after streets. Set across a lush 495sqm (approx.) garden setting, it's incredible architectural proportions, excellent zoning, and exceptional indoor-outdoor connection create an uncompromising family sanctuary, complete with secure off-street parking for three cars.
Soaring double-height ceilings and expansive glazing introduce direct natural light to the open-plan living and dining areas, extending through bi-fold doors to a broad entertainment deck and secluded north-facing gardens. The gourmet kitchen features bespoke marble benchtops, a stunning fluted walnut island, premium Miele appliances and a butler's pantry with a Vintec wine fridge, whilst an underfloor cellar accommodates approximately 400 bottles. Four generous bedrooms sit over a single level, including a substantial main suite with fitted walk-in robes and a striking designer en-suite overlooking jasmine-lined greenery. Three additional bedrooms offer abundant storage, plus a central bathroom with marble and terrazzo finishes and a family-friendly wet-room layout. Upstairs, a versatile mezzanine study and sitting area opens beneath vaulted ceilings, maximising flexibility, with sliding doors opening to a sun-drenched terrace shaded by climbing ornamental grapevines.
Thoughtful passive design elements maximise winter sunlight and minimise summer heat, supported by double glazing and a 12kW solar system, complemented by hydronic and in-slab heating, reverse-cycle heating/cooling, keyless entry, Sonos outdoor audio, automatic irrigation, extensive storage and a secure workshop with internal entry to the home. Enviably positioned between St Kilda Botanical Gardens and Brighton Road's cafés and restaurants, it is moments from the vibrant shopping and dining precincts of Acland Street, Carlisle Street and Chapel Street, and is mere moments from leading schools and city-bound transport.
