Iconic, inspired and simply irresistible – if you've ever driven along Ormond Esplanade, you will instantly recognise this incredible home. Standing out from the crowd thanks to its spotted gum façade with concrete block base and colourful cluster of porthole windows – a nod to the nearby St Kilda pier – the spectacular home by Judd Lysenko Marshall Architects is ready for its next lucky custodians.
Impressing with a small carbon footprint, a clever layout and thoughtful inclusions such as an open staircase that allows sunlight to permeate every level, the home – aptly named 'Ormond Esplanade' – opens to a peaceful entry level with versatile lounge/study or fourth bedroom. Perfect for teens or guests, this fabulous space enjoys seamless connectivity to the private back garden thanks to two walls of stacking sliders, while sturdy internal sliding doors can be closed shut, completely separating the zone from the rest of the house to create a quiet & private space.
Upstairs, discover an enviable entertaining hub centred around an exceptionally cool kitchen with butcher-block benchtops, prestige appliances and copious amounts of storage. From here, host guests out on the alfresco terrace with retractable awning, or inside around the crackling Masport fireplace – all with never-to-be-built-out views of the foreshore and beyond.
A mezzanine level children's wing comprises two colourful bedrooms with study nooks; they share a vibrant fully-tiled bathroom and separate powder room. Tucked away on the upper-most level the master bedroom complete with decadent bay-views, ensuite and concealed wardrobes as well as a fitted study area with sweeping panoramas you will never tire of create a canvas of colour & tranquillity.
Multiple split systems are among the practicalities, along with a large laundry, ground floor powder room, lockable storage with bike racks, roof storage with drop-down ladder, alarm, intercom entry, solar panels, watering system, double glazed windows and double carport as well as secure parking for additional cars.
Situated on Elwood's Golden Mile – one of Melbourne's most prestigious beachside addresses – the home is within moments of Ormond Road village, public transport, Elsternwick Park and the suburb's primary and secondary schooling options.
