2 Roehampton Crescent, Mount Eliza VIC 3930

A landmark beachside residence that has stood proud since its beginnings in 1933, this grand American colonial weatherboard home is the epitome of charm and luxury in Mt Eliza’s famed Ranelagh Estate.
Originally built as a wealthy Melburnians beach house just doors from the Ranelagh Club sporting facilities, a short walk to Ranelagh Beach and moments to village shops and restaurants, the enchanting two-storey home and guest cottage has been spectacularly refurbished and decorated in keeping with its Hamptons-style elegance featuring a stone fireplace, polished floorboards, marble and french doors throughout.
Set on 840sqm (approx) behind a sweeping driveway, two gorgeous living/dining rooms have French doors to a delightful summer entertaining courtyard looking out to rear gardens, while a large rooftop deck provides a second alfresco option with views across the bay to the city skyline and the You Yangs.
Fitted with a Miele oven, steamer, cooktop and dishwasher, the white stone-topped kitchen is a superb modern addition, while upstairs accommodation includes three charming attic-style bedrooms – two with views – a sparkling new bathroom lined in white marble, and a large attic retreat opening to the rooftop sundeck.
A den behind the entry opens to the rear entertaining terrace, while the guest cottage has easy access to the lower level bathroom.
The home also features reverse cycle air conditioning, ducted vacuum, a double remote-controlled garage and four water tanks.
