96 Baden Powell Drive, Mount Eliza VIC 3930

Classic family living on 1 acre+ in Mount Eliza
Set on more than an acre cascading down to a bushland reserve, this classic Mount Eliza home offers exceptional privacy and enormous family-friendly appeal with two living areas, a vast barbecue deck, swimming pool lightly shaded by a tall palm tree and a lawn tennis court waiting to be restored.

Long cherished by the same family for the past half century, a spacious design and solid construction offer excellent bones for a contemporary update, while beyond a cypress hedge at the rear of the property screens the old tennis court.

Cleverly configured to soak up the northern aspect, the single-level residence features both formal and informal living and dining zones with rich hardwood timber flooring and an open fireplace for winter ambience.

Gazing across a fish pond, the salt-chlorinated swimming pool and reserve treetops beyond, a hardwood kitchen with white Blanco and Fisher & Paykel appliances and a 1970s vibe is perfectly functional, while outside a long merbau deck provides both covered and sun-soaked zones to entertain overlooking the gardens.

Situated in the coveted Derinya Primary School zone and a short drive to Toorak College, Peninsula Grammar, Woodleigh Minimbah, Mount Eliza village and the beach, the property includes a master ensuite and dressing room, family bathroom, side-gate access and double carport behind a circular driveway with wrought iron gates.
