A picture-perfect Edwardian of timeless character and exceptional family appeal, ‘Avoca’ c1910 combines period elegance with a superbly functional floorplan tailored for modern living. Beyond a captivating façade, the beautifully refreshed home offers an abundance of space and flexibility, with the rare advantage of dual living zones, a study or fourth bedroom, and secure auto-gated parking, all set in a prized North Brighton pocket.
Soaring ceilings, leadlight windows and tiled open fireplaces enrich the original quarters with warmth and charm, while a spectacular vaulted living and dining domain creates a wonderful sense of light, space and connection. Anchored by a cosy wood-burner fireplace and flowing seamlessly through double-glazed glass sliders to a sun-soaked entertaining deck, it is a home designed for every season. Framed by established north-westerly gardens, the outdoor setting offers a blissfully private and serene backdrop for family enjoyment.
Towering skylights illuminate the family-sized kitchen, where premium stone benchtops, ample custom cabinetry and quality European appliances, including a Miele dishwasher, deliver everyday ease. Overlooking the open-plan living and dining areas, this welcoming hub is complemented by a spacious formal lounge or media room and a delightful garden-view study or fourth bedroom opening directly to the deck, providing the sought-after separation and versatility families desire.
Generously proportioned accommodation includes three further bedrooms, two with built-in robes, highlighted by a beautiful main suite with a stone-topped ensuite featuring a rainfall shower, sleek black tapware and warm timber accents. A spacious family bathroom echoes the same designer details with the addition of a luxe freestanding bath. A European laundry, extensive attic storage, plantation shutters, timber flooring, new wool carpets, central heating and split-system cooling complete this move-in-ready family package.
Surrounded by some of Bayside’s most loved lifestyle attractions, and within easy walking distance of Elsternwick Primary School, Star of the Sea College, Elsternwick Park, Martin Street and Elwood Villages, public transport and the beach, this exceptional residence delivers the perfect balance of family functionality, period beauty and blue-chip convenience.
