12 Thackeray Street, Elwood VIC 3184

Luxuriating in glorious northerly sunshine on its professionally landscaped yet easy-care allotment in one of Elwood's most tightly-held beachside pockets, this beautifully reimagined double-brick 1920s residence promises families a first-class lifestyle in a location to match.

Immediately appealing thanks to its classic verandaed façade and exquisite leadlight windows, the freestanding home opens to interiors that flawlessly meld the best of old and new.

Benefiting from dual street access, the home offers secure off-street parking from either Thackeray Street or Pozieres Ave at the rear. With up-to four bedrooms, it includes a formal lounge, a separate dining area and a sunny family/sitting room. The kitchen has been stylishly renovated and is equipped with premium appliances, sleek stone surfaces and ample cupboard space.

Three bedrooms and a smartly-finished fully-tiled bathroom are located toward the front of the home, whilst an extremely versatile and peaceful fourth bedroom/retreat is positioned at the rear and has its own direct access whilst enjoying use of a second bathroom with laundry provisions.

Two separate study areas will please families with students or those working from home. Additional highlights include ducted heating, split system heating/cooling, security cameras, ceiling fans, Crimsafe security doors and a 4x5m attic with drop-down ladder and two handy roof access points.

Double-glazed north-facing windows and extended eaves help keep the home cool on warmer days, and the irrigated Paul Pritchard-designed gardens are easy-to-maintain and both child and pet-friendly.
