4/15 Ormond Esplanade, Elwood, Vic 3184

Astoundingly proportioned, uniquely appointed and directly opposite Elwood beach in the iconic 'Beaufort' Deco complex, this spellbinding first floor apartment offers unobstructed sea and sky views and a renovated interior blending breathtaking period features with artistically-inspired modernisation. Proudly located at the front in the pastel-presented complex of seven apartments, the floor plan commences with a massive reception foyer, actually a room in its own right. Behind this, the private second bedroom with built-in wardrobes. The large and lovely central bathroom stages designer tiling, bespoke glass basin, a thick-glass shower and two doors - one to the foyer and another cleverly flowing through to the main bedroom. Zoned by its own hallway, this huge main bedroom mesmerises with deco ceiling detail, ceiling fan for balmy nights, a leadlight bay window framing those tremendous bay views and WIR and dressing room leading to the sun-filled, sea-vista study. Living areas are also surprisingly ample, with the one-off kitchen showcasing unique cabinetry, a S/S dishwasher and Paul Baucuse oven adjoining the dining room, and the connected lounge with open fireplace and ornate ceiling opening to a front parlour taking in that splendid sea-nery through arched, leadlight windows. Original floorboards with hand-stencilled friezes, dramatic period-style and modern light fittings, fresh paintwork and abundant natural light add to the bewitching and uplifting ambience. Cross the road to parkland and foreshore, and stroll around the corner to transport, Elwood Village, schools and services. With a lock-up garage, this rare beachfront opportunity assures a fine equilibrium of timeless allure and signature styling in a location sought after for sea air, sociable lifestyle, exceptional convenience and long-term investment satisfaction.
