43 College Street, Elsternwick, VIC

Behind the Green Door Open the front door and prepare to be dazzled. This solid brick Edwardian has been reimagined by Freadman White into something extraordinary. A home with heritage soul, contemporary swagger and not a hint of compromise. Here, original character and high-end modern luxury set the tone. Set on a commanding 440sqm allotment, it is as low maintenance as it is lavish. Three or four bedrooms flex to suit your life, and the master suite sets the mood with a box bay window, built-in robes and a show-stopping ensuite. Then comes the heart of the home. Open-plan living and dining areas, built for the twenty-first century, pour straight onto a landscaped alfresco terrace with its own outdoor dining zone and pizza oven. Summer lunches and winter pizza nights beckon. The kitchen is pure theatre: acres of stone benchtops, double ovens, a gas range, dishwasher and endless storage. Entertainers, this one is yours. Work from home? Your study opens to its own private courtyard. Need to host? A guest powder room keeps visitors comfortable, while a central bathroom serves the family and a generously proportioned laundry takes the chore out of chores. Heated, cooled and fitted with every modern comfort, the home is secured by remote gates for two vehicles and a private front garden shaded by a magnificent Jacaranda tree, where children and pets roam free. Then there is the address. Close to the village buzz of Martin Street and the cafés of Glen Huntly Road, with Gardenvale Station on hand for the Sandringham line and quality schools, including Wesley College, within walking distance, you'll be home before the pizza oven cools. Bold, beautiful and ready to live in. Opportunities of this calibre seldom come to market. Behind the green door, your next chapter awaits.
