Behind a picturesque, beautifully established front garden setting & Spanish Mission façade this 1930’s period beauty, in a prized Elsternwick location, showcases a breathtaking architectural renovation & extension. From the moment you enter the original front section of the home, you’ll immediately get a sense of the seamless integration between the old & new. Where the timeless period charm & character of yesteryear, including beautifully restored leadlight windows & doors & magnificent decorative ceilings, blend effortlessly with the modern luxury of today. Richly stained timber flooring greets you on arrival & delivers three generously sized bedrooms with built-in robes, one with a stylish marble ensuite & the other two serviced by a stunning fully tiled skylit central bathroom. The hallway culminates in the “piece de resistance”– a light saturated open plan living & dining zone with an open fireplace, storage galore & polished concrete floors wrapped in floor-to-ceiling doors & highlighted by the dramatic use of skylights, glass & landscaping to create a seamless indoor-outdoor experience. This breathtaking space extends outdoors to a wraparound alfresco deck, blissfully private garden sanctuary encapsulated in lush greenery & a solar heated pool, setting the scene for intimate family gatherings or lavish entertaining. Adding to the open plan allure are the crisp clean lines of a gourmet marble kitchen & butler’s pantry with a stunning oversized central island bench, high end appliances (including 2 x integrated dishwashers) & an abundance of soft close cabinetry.
