65 Mitford Street, Elwood, Vic 3184

Set amongst the trees in one of Elwood's most sought after precincts, this beautifully maintained Federation home on a deep block is poised to be reinvented as one of the street's truly classic residences.
The front half of the dwelling, which includes entry hall, two bedrooms, living room and dining room, retains many of its original features including leadlight windows, decorative ceilings, plate shelves, polished Baltic pine floorboards and an open fireplace.
But it's the rear section where a clever transformation could take place. Currently housing a neat kitchen and bathroom, third bedroom, laundry, second toilet and a storage room, it opens into a delightful private garden complete with a paved entertaining area.
Additional attributes of this charming solid brick home include a cosy gas log fire with a feature slate wall surround, an alarm system, built-in robes in two of the bedrooms and off-street parking, plus a superb location around the corner from the St Kilda Botanical Gardens and a short stroll from Acland Street.
