Family Entertainer with Edwardian Elegance in Peaceful Pocket

Peacefully nestled on a period-perfect, tree-lined street, this quintessential 4 bedroom (plus home office and study) Edwardian offers widespread family appeal where character is commonplace and convenience is a constant. Live the life you love and walk to lively Tennyson Street cafes, Elwood Primary School and College, St Kilda Botanical Gardens, the beach, Elsternwick Park, and the local Elwood Supermarket with easy public transport access across the whole of Melbourne.

Free-standing and free-flowing over 481m2 (approx.), a captivating street presence is undeniable with a majestic pair of palm trees anchoring the exquisite front garden. Beyond a traditional porch entry, discover a formal lounge and a compact home office with a built-in desk. The gleaming granite-topped kitchen boasts stylish timber cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances including a dishwasher, and a servery window to an inviting dining room.

The effortless style flows outside to an elevated and sheltered alfresco deck, expansive enough to stage the full complement of outdoor settings. Presenting a whole range of dining and entertaining possibilities, privacy is assured with a leafy perimeter framing a lush lawn and an established garden.

Exemplary rest and retreat is provided on the ground floor in a perfect pair of mirror-robed bedrooms, superbly serviced by a skylit bathroom with a sumptuous bathtub and separate walk-in shower. Venture upstairs via a chocolate timber staircase to the remaining two robed and air-conditioned bedrooms, a skylit retreat, and a luxe bathroom with a shower over bath, all under spectacular vaulted ceilings. A true delight from top to bottom, this entire first floor will engage children of all ages.
