Visionary design with a quality edge brings a new way of living to what was once Head Street's neighbourhood store, enviably located metres from Elsternwick Park, around the corner from Elsternwick Primary School, and a short walk to the beach at the end of the street. The transformation is state of the art, creating a style focused home with two living zones, three bedrooms over two levels, idyllic outdoor living and with the option of off street parking if required.
It's easy to feel at home in this instantly relaxing oasis, where the spacious living and dining zone opens onto a deck and low maintenance garden, the original 1920s shop is now a light filled lounge room, and the gourmet kitchen makes a statement with a 3.4 metre (approx.) island bench, six burner Ilve range, double Belfast sink, and underbench wine fridge.
The architect designed renovation and extension incorporates everything you want in a premium home. Choose from a spacious ground floor or first floor main bedroom, appreciate the carefully planned features in the ensuite and family bathroom including infloor heating and heated towel rails, and admire the recycled oak floors, exposed brickwork, original leadlight, bespoke window seats, and plantation shutters. All main rooms have air conditioners and hydronic heating, there's video intercom entry for peace of mind, garden storage, and rear access from Brickwood Avenue. And when you want to relax outdoors you're surrounded by established greenery, Boston Ivy draped over a pergola, and views of leafy surrounds.
There's nothing to do but love this cherished home with its Edwardian origins and sought after location. Locals remember it as a milk bar, it was also one of Brighton's first butcher shops, and today it stands proudly as a fine home just a few doors from one of Bayside's best parks. Elwood's cafes are close by, it's a short walk to Gardenvale railway station, and shopping in Martin Street, Church Street and Glenhuntly Road is minutes away.
