EXPRESSION OF INTEREST - Closing Tuesday 5th December at 4pm

A home where everything beats to the same rhythm of seamless integration, coherent styling and an exacting attention to detail, this carefully extended Edwardian home is a synthesis of period charm and a light-infused contemporary entertainer's lifestyle.
Screened and private behind the leafiest front garden, the facade is a classic half-brick/half stucco showcase that features a terrazzo front porch as an eye-catching welcome. Once inside, American Oak is an enduring theme through the floors and expansive built-in storage, its sandy tones a perfect match for the premier beachside location.
It's all about entertaining in the open plan living and dining zone where a sunken lounge is the perfect spot to nest while a Flos pendant light crowns the light-filled dining area - throwing back the massive stacker doors blurs the boundaries between indoors and out.
A stunning 5.5m marble bench with a protective resin finish is soft & silky to the touch ensuring everyone will linger here for casual meals or informal drinks, while high-end Miele appliances including an integrated fridge/freezer make hosting so easy.
Out in the afternoon sun there is built-in seating and a BBQ set in striking exposed aggregate concrete; amongst lush greenery, this is the ideal space to while away the hours over drinks with friends – an auto gate to the rear laneway gives option of onsite parking for one car.
To the front the first of four bedrooms retains period appeal with pretty sash windows looking out to the garden - together with a second downstairs bedroom, it shares a sophisticated bathroom with towering natural stone charcoal mosaic juxtaposed with white Kartell tapware.
Upstairs, the tranquil master bedroom with a matching ensuite boasts two runs of fitted wardrobes, clever integrated cabinetry along with remote blinds and a skylight window - a fourth bedroom on this level, a very functional study zone and coveted extra storage keep the highlights coming.
Individually zoned heating/cooling, double glazing & integrated Sonos throughout plus a full laundry, underground 5000l water tank, alarm and video intercom conclude an exceptional lifestyle proposition.
Just two streets back from the beach, metres to iconic Jerry's Milk Bar & buses, walking distance to primary and secondary schools and close to shops, restaurants and open greenery, this prestige locale is what Elwood living is all about.
