Behind its freestanding period façade and pretty gardens, this brilliantly unexpected home delivers far more than meets the eye, with secure off-street parking via ROW, generous indoor-outdoor proportions, and a rear garden setting that makes entertaining a natural extension of everyday life. What appears at first as a classic single-front charmer opens into volumes of light and space, unbelievable in both scale and feel, with three sizable bedrooms, two living areas and an enviable open-plan domain that draws in the light.
On the ground floor, two large bedrooms with built-in robes include the main bedroom with an en suite and garden access, complemented by a second modern bathroom and full laundry with external access. Upstairs, a third bedroom with powder room connects to a mezzanine retreat, creating flexibility for study, additional lounge or quiet escape, making the most of the rear sunny aspect. Towering vaulted ceilings rise dramatically above expansive living and dining zones below, where the well-appointed stone kitchen and entertainment zone extends through full-height glass to a deck and low-maintenance garden, enhanced by an integrated BBQ, perfect for long afternoons in the sun.
The position reinforces the appeal, with Ripponlea Station, village cafés and boutiques moments away, Carlisle Street’s dining and shopping within walking distance, and Brighton Road trams on the doorstep. Zoned for Elwood College and close to leading schools including Caulfield Grammar, it offers the charm of a heritage home with light-filled spaces and outdoor connection that make family living both easy and engaging, complete with polished timber floors, split system heating/cooling, a Rinnai heater, substantial attic storage, high gated access and intercom security.
