Behind a picture-perfect façade in one of Elwood’s quietest and most prized positions, this freestanding c.1917 brick home offers not only instant, but future family appeal. Already renovated/extended so that period elegance is matched by stylish contemporary living, council approved plans exist to further renovate and create a three bedroom plus study family home that maximizes the northern rear aspect and the existing double garage via side ROW. Immediately enjoy a simply delightful single level layout in which a series of spacious original rooms retain their period profile in high ceilings, charming multi pane windows and a bright traditional hallway.

Two generous bedrooms feature impressive BIRs/storage, including the main with bay window, before a generous lounge flows through to north facing open plan living/dining featuring a stylish stone kitchen with walk in pantry and island entertaining. Window walls ensure these spaces enjoy uninterrupted sunshine and lush, leafy vistas, whilst sliding glass doors unfold to a perfectly private, landscaped entertaining courtyard lined with elegant Birch Trees and Boston Ivy.
Beyond, a large multipurpose room can readily be converted back to a remote double garage if desired. Further highlights include an immaculate contemporary bathroom, skylit laundry with storage, panel heating, split cooling, pale timber floors and landscaped entry courtyard.

Enjoy a fabulous Elwood lifestyle just a short stroll from Tennyson Street cafes, Elwood Primary, Elwood College and popular parks, walk along nearby canal trails to the beach or in the opposite direction to Brighton Road trams, trains and Ripponlea Village. A wonderfully versatile opportunity for a range of buyers from single level downsizers to lifestyle focused families. Land 260sqm.
