310 Barkly Street

Elwood VIC 3184

Making smart design statements at every turn from an invisibly glass-framed floating stair, to a sneaky kitchen view to a lush side atrium, the home meets a demanding specification with natural and composite stone benchtops, century-old ironbark floors (recycled from a Queensland fruit-picking shed) and fully-tiled bathrooms designer-fitted with roof-hung rainhead showers.

Prioritising practicality with a clever butler's pantry, and custom cabinetry including built-in and walk-through robes, the home is centrally heated and cooled with individual reverse-cycle climate-control for each bedroom, gasfires for each living zone, and video-intercom and irrigation. Even the gardens are artfully conceived with auto-gated parking from the rear, lushly hedged gardens out front, and a secure storage shed for both one deadlocked and racked for 5 bikes, the other sized for garden needs.

Positioned to enjoy both Elwood's relaxed shopping and cafes and St Kilda's vibrant bars and bistros, this architectural Edwardian is steps to iconic Jerry's Milk Bar caf, 250m to the beachfront parklands (in particular, the fenced dog park), a stroll to St Kilda Botanical Gardens, and a walk along the canal to Ormond Rd.
