7 Gladstone Parade, Elsternwick VIC 3185

THE DEAL
Elsternwick’s historic College Precinct - home to grand and imposing period mansions, quiet tree-lined streets and an air of exclusivity reserved for the select few. Quietly hidden within a landmark property and brimming with Art Deco excellence, this luxuriously renovated ground-floor two-bedroom residence showcases the lifestyle, prestige, and serenity that have long been associated with this impressive locale.

Hardwood floors, high ceilings, and original leadlight windows enrich the well-zoned interiors, which extend from the entry foyer to two generously sized bedrooms along the northern side. The large main includes full-width built-in robes, double glazing to the front for added warmth and peace, plus a dedicated study zone and sleek powder room. All day sun fills the second, flanking the stunning central bathroom, where a freestanding bath sits within the walk-in shower, creating a spa-style experience, enriched by overhead and towel rail heating.

Living and dining areas have been thoughtfully reconfigured and upgraded for contemporary living, while preserving the exquisite Art Deco details and emphasising the flow through dual garden connections. The brand-new hosts’ kitchen is a showstopping centrepiece, featuring stone benchtops, Blum soft-close joinery, and premium appliances, including a Fisher & Paykel dish drawer system, a Bosch induction cooktop, and a NEFF oven with the Slide & Hide disappearing door. A servery window and coffee nook elevate the everyday, whilst outdoors, a broad deck extends the entertaining space to irrigated gardens, a water feature, and raised planter boxes ready for herbs or home-grown produce.
