Framed by an unusually wide street frontage, this reworked Californian Bungalow offers a level of space and calm rarely encountered in Elsternwick. Surrounded by expertly landscaped native gardens and a generous setback, the home feels distinctly removed from its urban context yet sits within one of the area's most prestigious and accessible pockets, zoned for Gardenvale Primary and moments from cafes, village activity and city-bound transport.
The fully restored brick façade and oversized proportions speak to the home's era, with high ceilings, era-typical detail and built-in storage throughout four bedrooms. The main suite is orientated to the north, featuring a gas-enhanced original fireplace and a sleek, modern ensuite. A second bathroom with a separate WC and additional powder room keep pace with everyday needs, preceding two living areas, including a formal sitting room and open-plan zone to the rear. The gourmet kitchen with Bosch appliances, stone finishes, and a full north aspect enriches the generosity of space, extending past a tranquil window seat designed to take in the serenity through stacked sliding glass to a broad undercover deck. Offering a unique and rare vantage point for entertainment and relaxation, the private yard has been landscaped with established natives, drawing in all-day light and abundant birdlife.
Raised vegetable gardens to the north, a large garden shed to the rear, and plenty of parking out front in the carport enhance the shift in energy from inner city to a relaxed sanctuary, matched inside with hydronic heating, ceiling fans, double glazing throughout, split system air conditioning, ample storage, and a large laundry with outdoor access. Positioned amongst some of Elsternwick's finest homes and mansions, steps from Wesley College, Leibler Yavneh College, Hopetoun Gardens, Gardenvale Station, Martin St Village, and only moments from the choice of dining, café and retail options of Elsternwick Village.
