2 College Street

Elsternwick VIC 3185

Don't miss this rare opportunity to secure a first-time-offered, Tuscan-inspired residence that truly ticks every box. Comparable homes in this calibre would command $5-6 million, yet this is offered in the mid-$3 million range.
Designed with architectural ingenuity, the home maximises vertical space to deliver 450 m of refined living, featuring:
Flexible garaging - a two-car front garage plus additional roofed and unroofed car/boat spaces via a side sliding double gate, which can also extend the outdoor entertaining zone.
Expansive outdoor entertaining - a rare-sized area seldom found even on 800 m blocks, with provision for a lap pool (currently lawn) and space for a trampoline or roofed table-tennis area if a 3rd car isn't required.
Sweeping outlooks - unobstructed views from all main living areas and breathtaking 360 panoramas from the rooftop terrace.
Generous proportions - 3 m ceilings in the main living areas across both ground and first floors.
Versatile living options - perfectly suited to larger families or downsizers, with the potential for additional income from a two-bedroom wing. While seamlessly integrated with the main residence, it also offers full separation via its own side gate and private entrance.
Peace of mind - secure surrounds with high brick and wrought-iron fencing, intercom pedestrian gates, and surveillance cameras.
