OBVIOUS
An architectural home is a true investment that pays dividends. This peerless Edwardian, reimagined by the highly acclaimed Neil Architecture, is a testament to that. It delivers a sanctuary beyond comparison. It embraces your family's evolution and enriches your quality of life from Day One and for years to come.

Honoring its heritage character, it presents a design ahead of its time. Beyond the tuckpointed red brick facade and elegant tessellate tile porch lay the home's original rooms - beautiful, superbly modernized bedrooms, supported by a luxurious natural marble bathroom with all the finishes. The transition from old to new is flawless, as Listone Giordano oak floors span throughout the ground floor, and custom skylights allow natural light to dance across the room.

An inspired kitchen is at the heart of the home with a strong focus on design and functionality. The Stone Italiana island bench anchors the room, with Japanese tiles by Artedomus adding playful texture. An abundance of bespoke joinery stretches out to an innovative second office or study area.

Together, the open-plan living and dining domain offer a setting equally suited to family relaxation as it is to sublime cocktail evenings and dinner parties. The indoor-outdoor flow is seamless, with full-height glazing revealing a bluestone-paved alfresco area enlivened with color from lush vertical gardens that evoke a sense of privacy. Secure parking is accessible via the rear lane, as needed.

Upstairs, one will appreciate the peaceful retreat of the main bedroom suite with its custom floor-to-ceiling robes and luxurious marble master bathroom, while the adjacent 5th bedroom boasts superior functionality and scale, effortlessly catering to a work-from-home lifestyle.

Nestled in leafy Elwood, situated two blocks from the beach, this home will have you soaking up Elwood's elated lifestyle and renowned neighborhood bayside bliss. Additional features include hydronic heating, cooling throughout, louver windows, double glazing, motorized external blinds, and custom skylights.

SEALS THE DEAL
Under the skilled hand of Neil Architecture, this meticulously designed, marvelously appointed, and architectural family home is a haven that continues to provide its residents with a magical experience.
