Graced with timeless character and offering a golden mile address just steps from Ranelagh Beach, this superbly renovated four-bedroom home harks back to a golden era when Mt Eliza was the summer playground for Melbourne’s rich and famous. Echoing the American colonial influences of so many homes built in the Ranelagh estate in the 1930s, the weatherboard residence delivers a wonderfully unhurried seaside lifestyle backing onto a reserve that leads straight down to the beach for early morning swims or a hit of tennis or sailing at the Ranelagh Club. Featuring an inground pool, French doors to an entertaining deck, polished hardwood floors, window seats and three living areas, this is the perfect mix of traditional style and modern practicality. Only a short drive from the village and a choice of schools, other features include a superb stone and stainless-steel kitchen, large master bedroom with spa ensuite, formal lounge with wood fire, a home theatre or rumpus room and attractive gardens with stone paths, edging and entry pillars.
