99 Ruskin Street, Elwood, Vic 3184

A symphony of Edwardian charm, industrial chic and a surprise element of over-sized family accommodation and wow-factor. Gloriously renovated family residence brings the warmth of red brick, the modernity of black steel and the delight of a poolside setting to the treelined streets of beachside Elwood.
Nestled on approximately 510sqm, the traditional façade gives way to reveal classic high ceilings, leadlight windows & original fireplaces alongside more recent additions of elegant herringbone oak floors and massive double-glazed steel windows. A formal lounge with two-way pebble gas fireplace flows into the stunning entertaining zone where a trio of steel French doors open out to the generous and impressive alfresco deck. Hosts will be inspired to welcome guests in the rich navy-blue kitchen flaunting a suite of app-enabled Miele appliances (including wine fridge, dual ovens & integrated extractor) and stretches of streamline cabinetry concealing a Liebherr fridge/freezer – the Quooker tap and Dekton waterfall island are exquisite yet practical inclusions.
A custom-built sunbed casts an eye over the self-cleaning fully-tiled solar heated pool which will keep kids occupied with cute water fountains before they rinse off under the hot & cold outdoor shower - beyond this is a brilliant home office/studio with fitted workstations and powder room.
Individually styled, three of the bedrooms are conveniently located on the lower level – one with study nook and garden access, they share a sparkling family bathroom; whilst parents have command over the upper level where a stunning powder room with rich tiles plus a luxurious bathroom with custom walnut cabinetry topped with vibrant hand-crafted porcelain basins and luxe gold tapware service the large bedroom. A renovated balcony here offers a space to relax with views across the rooftops, while the large walk-in wardrobing provides ample space for every outfit.
The practicalities continue with a fully-fitted laundry with drying area plus a double auto garage with rear laneway access, while 6-zoned underfloor heating and ducted heating/cooling plus video intercom, remote controllable Bosch alarm system, Sonos speakers and 9.75kw SolarEdge Panels conclude a simply exceptional home.
And the beachside location is only fitting for a home of this calibre. Doors to the canal banks, metres to the shops, Primary & Secondary schools, bars & restaurants, the home is close to bus routes and just a heartbeat to the sand.
