4 Milton Street, Elwood, Vic 3184

Private Auction Thursday 22 October. 

Grandly proportioned and long admired, this magnificent two story Victorian balconied terrace occupies one of Elwood’s premier streets, retaining its original grace while sensitively updated for contemporary living. Exceptionally private and remarkably peaceful, its generous interiors extend to north-facing gardens, creating a substantial and flexible city-edge residence just moments from the area's best-known lifestyle attractions. 

Beyond intricate cast-iron lacework and the deep verandah, a wide hallway beneath soaring ceilings introduces Baltic pine floors and a corbelled arch, setting an impressive arrival before two interconnecting front lounge and dining rooms, each enriched by open fireplaces. Relaxed living and entertaining extend to the rear through a light-filled meals area and central kitchen, beautifully appointed with timber benches, stainless steel appliances and a wealth of integrated storage. Alongside, the living room opens directly to a serene red-brick courtyard and established north-facing gardens, allowing sunlight and greenery to become a constant part of the interior, complemented by a tranquil water feature, shed and ROW pedestrian access. 

Northern light illuminates the bedrooms upstairs, led by a large study or third bedroom that opens to a deep decked impressive terrace in the sun. Two further bedrooms retain open fireplaces, including the gorgeous main bedroom with balcony access and extensive robes, whilst the neat bathroom with a spa bath is supplemented by a powder room. Additional features include hydronic heating, ceiling fans, and attic storage, all within an ultra-accessible locale, a short walk from Tennyson Street cafés, Elwood Village, Brighton Road trams and the shopping strip, Balaclava Station, leading schools, St Kilda Botanical Gardens, and the foreshore.
