Elwood VIC 3184

This c1900 double-fronted freestanding Victorian is a prime example of the glorious architecture of the era. Many elements remain intact, from the tiled front verandah, to the intricate iron lacework and original wrought-iron fireplaces, there are so many evocative reminders of times gone by, yet contemporary updates ensure comfort.

Set on a 579sqm (approx.) allotment of prime Elwood land, this gracious residence opens to reveal a classic central hallway dividing the primary rooms. Incredible soaring ceilings, deep skirting boards and warm Baltic floors are amongst the heart-warming features of the original part of the home which offers three generous bedrooms plus an elegant formal lounge. A later addition provides more living space including a relaxed meals area and casual family room which opens to a sundrenched patio and lush gardens. Oriented towards the north, there is ample space for a further extension or pool if desired (STCA). The bright and functional central kitchen forms the homes heart, whilst a fourth bedroom with ensuite, large laundry, contemporary bathroom plus ducted heating and on-site parking for two plus cars are also on offer.

So very inviting yet with so much potential to add further contemporary touches, this beautiful home is zoned for Elwood Primary School, located just a walk from Ormond Road and Ripponlea villages plus within easy reach of the sparkling foreshore.
