4/17 Byrne AvenueElwood

Tucked within “Thalassa” — one of Elwood’s most recognisable Victorian mansions — this remarkable residence delivers a rare sense of space and tranquillity just seconds from the sand. Set in a quiet Golden Mile cul-de-sac, it captures the essence of coastal living with the village, foreshore and vibrant café scene all moments away. Designed for those who value privacy and proportion, the expansive living and dining domain is framed by a magnificent picture window looking out to a Mediterranean-style atrium crowned by a sculptural urn — a breathtaking centrepiece that floods the interiors with natural light. There’s ample room to create separate lounge, dining and study zones, while the granite-topped kitchen with European appliances, drawer dishwasher and curved breakfast bar invites casual meals and easy entertaining over wine and conversation. With two outdoor private spaces, a north facing sunny alfresco courtyard off the living room which is perfect for entertaining and an internal secluded courtyard off the main bedroom. A second bedroom, spacious bathroom, European laundry, and richly toned parquetry floors complete the package, along with split-system heating/cooling and a covered carport with direct roller-door access. With secure intercom entry shared by only two other residences, this unique home offers a blend of timeless character and modern comfort in one of Elwood’s most exclusive settings. All within easy reach of Elwood boutiques, cafes, restaurants, city trams, Ripponlea Station and the endless walking and cycling trails that line Port Phillip Bay.
