4 Heaton Avenue, Elwood VIC 3184

Perfectly presented on Heaton Avenue's most elevated blocks, this renovated period residence combines the appeal of its classic heritage with a fashionable family lifestyle. Occupying an expansive 696sqm (approx) with a sundrenched north-facing rear and single dwelling covenant, the glorious home is spacious, beautiful and versatile in equal measure.
Welcomed by a flourishing botanical garden and tiled verandah, the home opens up to reveal a bounty of period features - soaring ceilings, coffered panelling and plate rails all enhanced by delicately-coloured leadlight windows to create an undeniably nostalgic ambience. Set to the front, an inviting sitting room (possible bedroom) features a fantastic fitted library – both this room and the ensuite master with walk-in robes flaunt feature fireplaces. A smaller bedroom also enjoys access to the ensuite giving options of a nursery or study, while two further bedrooms - including one that spills out to a private deck – serviced by a chic marble family bathroom are also included.
Curved gallery walls provide a striking introduction to a contemporary extension (OFP), supersized spaces for the grandest dinner parties and relaxed get-togethers, a spacious Carrara marble entertainer's kitchen, quality appliances and statement finger-tiles that reach up to the lofty ceilings. Bi-folds can be thrown back to connect indoors with generous decking which is warmed by gas heaters and has plumbing in-situ for a BBQ – this is a tranquil location for alfresco entertaining overlooking lush lawn and flourishing fruit trees, a perfect position to add a pool.
A freestanding home office and WC accessed via the auto carport is yet another highlight – a practical laundry, reams of brilliant storage (including attic) plus central heating/cooling, ducted vacuum and on-site parking for three cars round off a comprehensively-updated family sanctuary. A prestige locale within moments of Elsternwick station, trams and dining options as well as Elwood village and the bay.
