56 Elster Avenue, Elsternwick, Vic 3185

Presenting immense potential for a stunning restorative renovation or innovative rebuild (STCA), this classic, early California Bungalow is outstandingly positioned on a 692sqm (approx.) allotment with a rear northerly aspect, just moments from Gardenvale Station.

Retaining all the hallmarks of its era, the single-level home’s century-old charm and rich character is defined by a covered entry verandah, curved bay windows and stucco walls. Inside, the generously proportioned interiors feature ornate plasterwork ceilings, polished timber floors and glass lead lighting. The original floorplan stems from the central hallway and consists of a formal living room, three bedrooms including the charming front bedroom with a bay window, another bedroom that has ensuite/bathroom access, and a third bedroom that adjoins a study. The central kitchen is well-equipped with an electric double oven and gas hot plate and flows to the adjoining meals area with access to the rear yard. There are two bathrooms, a laundry with external access and a powder room. Features split system heating/cooling plus ducted heating. Set in lovely gardens with plenty of lawn area and established trees, the home is complemented by a large double garage, with workshop and storage shed.

This outstanding property, currently tenanted, is in the Elsternwick Primary and Elwood College school zones, close to Star of the Sea College, with easy access to trams, Gardenvale Station and Martin Street cafes and restaurants.
