THE DEAL
Homes in Elwood's Golden Mile rarely slip quietly onto the market, and this single-level Californian has no intention of breaking tradition. Transformed under the expert eye of Woods Bagot, this three-bedroom, three-bathroom stunner delivers sophisticated, sun-drenched living matched perfectly with remote-controlled garaging for two and a premium tree-lined village address between Ormond Rd and the beach.
Period glamour greets you at the façade, yet the contemporary revival at the rear truly steals the spotlight, where a glass breezeway connects past with present, introducing open-plan living beneath spectacular ceiling voids and expansive glazing. Polished concrete floors and walls dressed in custom-crafted oak cabinetry pair strikingly with sleek Tundra marble in the kitchen, fully equipped with integrated refrigeration and Miele appliances, including dual ovens, knock2open dishwasher and an induction cooktop. Full-width timber-framed doors divide indoor and outdoor living, where a private deck and lush gardens deliver calm sophistication with minimal fuss.
Three bedrooms maintain quiet separation from the primary living zones. The main suite is impressively proportioned, luxuriously appointed and entirely private, boasting a sky-lit ensuite and substantial walk-in robe. A second bedroom charms with its modern wood-burning fireplace, while the third cleverly integrates a private study/sunroom with leafy outlooks. Wellness is thoughtfully integrated throughout the home, highlighted by a Sunlighten infrared sauna, complementing an active lifestyle that may include early bay swims, Pilates sessions in the village or a morning run along the picturesque foreshore trail.
Nothing here is accidental. Each detail reflects meticulous consideration and undeniable excellence, from underfloor heating in the bathroom and rear extension to the double glazing and internal garage access, walls of custom storage and thriving vegetable gardens at the front, making the most of the deep and sun-filled setback.
SEALS THE DEAL
With zoning for Elwood Primary School and Elwood College, and a short stroll from beachfront breakfasts at Elwood Bathers, coffee at Combi, dinner at Bang Bang, and leisurely weekends browsing the produce at Elwood's fortnightly Farmers Market, this is not only an enviable address, but an exceptional way of life.
