Elegantly layered in refined Bayside style, this deceptively spacious 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom family entertainer captivates with contemporary flow over two flawless levels. Facing the wide open greenery of Elsternwick Park, stroll to Elsternwick Primary School, Gardenvale trains, crowd-pleasing Martin Street cafes, leading schools and your choice of Brighton and Elwood beaches.
Beyond a private garden entry, an instantly relaxed sitting room is framed by bay windows and an ornamental open fireplace, while a formal dining room provides a thrilling centrepiece for entertaining under an intricate ceiling rose. The home opens up in sunlit style with a sleek kitchen and family dining area showcasing a stone-finished breakfast bar and the full suite of high-quality Miele appliances including an integrated microwave and dishwasher.
A versatile home theatre or retreat is staged towards the rear before French doors swing open to a brick-paved courtyard with a dedicated BBQ zone, a lush lawn and a private leafy perimeter. There is a radiant east-facing warmth at play here, the whole alfresco area tailor-made for large-scale entertaining through to smaller informal gatherings.
The free-flowing layout offers exemplary rest and retreat for the whole family with a quintet of naturally lit and generously sized bedrooms spread over both levels, superbly serviced by a trio of sparkling bathrooms. Intricately detailed, special features include extensive heating/cooling, storage solutions, a large laundry, off-street parking, hardwood flooring, a back-to-base alarm, ducted vacuum and so much more. An inspection will impress.
