479 St Kilda Street, Elwood, Vic 3184

Behind a classy and quaint unassuming facade is one of the largest Elwood family homes you'll find. Adding an ultra-contemporary dimension to the original charm at the front, an open-plan designer extension at the rear incorporates a massive living/dining room beneath soaring cathedral ceilings, a massive family-style kitchen with huge central island bench/breakfast bar and commercial-grade stainless-steel oven with six-burner cooktop and access to a covered alfresco entertaining area looking onto a lush fully landscaped rear yard. An ideal self-contained teenager's retreat/in-law accommodation boasts its own private entry and gorgeous park and golf course views. This beautiful blend of past and present also features up to four bedrooms, two bathrooms renovated in true Elwood style, a full-size study/retreat, powder room, large separate laundry, off-street car space, a secure covered utility courtyard/shed, heating/air conditioning throughout, an ornate open fireplace, floorboards and storage for your collection of favourite whites and reds. This is a remarkably rare find just 50 metres from the cosmopolitan cafe scene in Elwood Village and a walk to the beach, trams, buses, Elsternwick Station and Elwood Primary.
