46 Southey Street, Elwood, VIC 3184

An impressive architect-designed renovation has elevated this timeless solid brick Edwardian, transforming it into an exceptional, future-ready home that effortlessly caters to a myriad of needs and lifestyles.

Set under soaring ceilings and with reminders of its heritage on full display, the stylishly appointed flat-transition residence ? with no steps or stairs ? is perfect for retirees, while the fully self-contained studio at the rear will appeal to those requiring teen or in-law accommodation, a private work-from-home office space or simply somewhere for guests when they come to stay.

Among the main home's many standout inclusions are dual living zones ? both with gas fireplaces. A stately library with custom shelving and a bay-windowed reading area has been finished to please, while the open plan living/dining area boasts bi-fold doors that can be thrown open on warmer days, blurring the line between indoor and outdoor living.

Prestige Bosch appliances and polished granite benchtops star in the sophisticated gourmet kitchen along with a large walk-in pantry with dedicated study nook. The sublime master bedroom is a sanctuary in every sense and has the luxury of a designer ensuite with heated bidet; an inclusion also found in the skylit main bathroom.

Crowned by a stunning skillion roof, the studio impresses with its sundrenched northerly orientation, polished concrete/terrazzo-style flooring, kitchenette and chic bathroom. The bedroom is carpeted and has built-in robes.

Both dwellings enjoy the comfort of hydronic heating, R/C cooling and ceiling fans. Other standout features include a full laundry with drying rack, stunning block parquetry, bespoke joinery, a rainwater tank, solar panels, double carport, storage shed and securely gated parking for multiple cars ? all on an astounding 768sqm (approx.).

In the heart of Elwood proper, the home is close to popular cafes, boutique shopping, the beach, bay & suburb trails, parks & gardens. It is also within moments of public transport for a stress-free workday commute while the primary school and secondary college are just minutes away.
