Last Listing description (December 2010)

Architectural Deco on the edge of the bay - one door to the bay
Built in 1936 for the leading local proponent of the Art Deco style, William Palmer, this spectacularly sited up to four bedroom, 3.5 bathroom home today showcases a masterful renovation by one of Australia's leading architects, Peter Carmichael.
Artfully extended from an elaborately detailed solid-brick base, this meticulous renovation retains fine formal rooms including lounge/dining with banquette-bay stretching out to the Elwood parklands, and a sitting-room (configured to double as guest suite) stepping out to poolside gardens. A ground-floor master-suite encompasses a terrazzo-floored time-capsule bathroom, while secondary bedrooms take in sea breezes from a hall of French-doors. Original polished Tasmania Oak timber floors throughout ground floor.

West Australian Jarrah timber floors on the first-floor, semi-circular living is walled by pillarless glass and wrapped by a curvaceous balcony to catch a 180degree bay, park and city panorama, while a beautifully fitted library/home-office focuses on Elwood parklands and city views behind its own rounded balcony.
Detailed with streamlined cabinetry (including for a state-of-the-art kitchen with butler's pantry) beside decorative Deco plasterwork, original fireplaces and rich timber floors, there's modern conveniences including ducted heating and cooling, an alarm and a double garage on an auto-gated, turning-circle driveway.
Set in around 9130sqft/848sqm of drip-watered gardens, this exceptional home steps back to a 22.5m fully-tiled self-cleaning lap-pool ...and looks forward from one of Melbourne's most celebrated locations - on the city-edge of the Golden Mile just 1 door from the beachfront facing north across Elwood's parklands.
