1/1-5 Tiuna Grove, Elwood, Vic 3184

Get out in front of the pack with leading-edge garden living and como by mckimm luxury. A flagship street-front courtyard residence in this ground-breaking beachside project, this 2.5 bedroom plus home-office, two bathroom apartment opens beyond its own private street-entry to provide an expansive dual-suite, dual courtyard design.

Expansively entertaining with an elite Miele appliance kitchen with butler's pantry, and fire-warmed lounge area to enhance home-entertainment, the apartment provides a quiet space to work at home in an enclosed office and a place to escape with two lavish suites - each with a wall of robes and private ensuite. Best of all, there's an endless outward focus with a garden-terrace stretched out in afternoon sun … and an additional curvaceous courtyard for the second suite.

One of just a dozen up-scale residences in this small-scale group, this garden apartment offers a considered curation of airy oak flooring and chunky 100% wool carpets beneath up to 2.7m ceilings, and timber-look cabinetry against a backdrop of pure white 2-Pak doors, V-Groove paneling, and painted brick. Richly detailed with honed and sealed natural stone benchtops, soft matt-porcelain tiles and floor-to-ceiling commercial double-glazing, the finish is beyond prestige, with concealed-cistern WCs, sleek undermount sinks and basins, and matt-black tapware and hardware.

Exceeding every expectation of apartment living with individual room-by-room Daikin climate control, a personal alarm plus common area CCTV, and video-intercom plus keyless entry, the home is specified to the finest detail – right down to Clipsal slimline switches, energy-efficient LED and titanium lighting, and Wi-Fi-ready data points.

Beautifully integrated into landscaped and lit surrounds with Irrigation extending to courtyard plantings and lift-access basement garaging expanding to two carspaces, this street-front home leads the way - just 250m to the broad sands of Elwood beach, even closer to the bars and baristas of Ormond Rd, and a leisurely beachfront drive or cycle to the CBD.
