Expressions of Interest
Extraordinary in scale and uncompromising in execution, this Richard Swansson–designed residence occupies a quiet court within Elwood’s Golden Mile, presenting a level of architectural luxury unlike anything in the area. Hidden beyond a high-walled frontage within a tree-lined cul-de-sac just steps from Elwood Beach, the discreet garden approach opens to a floating concrete slab and oversized pivot door, introducing robust, high-end finishes and substantial ceiling heights that continue throughout multiple levels and intelligently designed wings.
A landscaped central courtyard draws light and greenery deep into the interior, with a mature Queensland bottle tree framed by full-height glass on three sides, maintaining a continuous relationship between the living spaces and the central heated pool and spa. The long internal gallery leads to a rear retreat where sliding doors and integrated joinery sit alongside an in-built workspace, buffered by a bamboo-lined garden. Here, the relationship between the interior and al-fresco areas is deliberate and calming, with full-height glazing that addresses the pool directly and a double sided gas fireplace. This continuity extends to a large main suite, opening to the pool, where a second fireplace, dressing room, and bespoke en-suite connect to a sheltered garden.
Toward the north facing front, expansive open concept living and dining areas with a gas fire expand beneath soaring 3.6m ceilings, extending through stacked sliding doors to the poolside terrace. A marble kitchen with walnut-veneer cabinetry, integrated bar seating, and premium appliances connects seamlessly to a fitted home office, while opposing windows reveal a private terrace framed by olive trees and an in-ground trampoline. Upstairs, a floating timber stair ascends to three additional bedrooms with built-in desks and robes, supported by two bathrooms and a central powder room.
Below, an additional bedroom or studio with an adjoining bathroom sits alongside a basement garage with a gym space. Comprehensive appointments include hydronic heating (slab and panels), solar power, integrated audio, air conditioning, video intercom, keyless entry, a guest powder room, and a laundry with drying cupboard, all within easy walking distance of Ormond Rd Village, Elsternwick Park, and elite schools.
