1/11 Milton Street, Elwood, Vic 3184

Resplendent in the Tudor Revivalist-meets-Art Deco architectural elegance and grandeur of its circa-1923 origins, this house-sized three-bedroom plus study ground-floor Elwood apartment will captivate with its soaring ceilings, leadlight windows, and free-flowing, adaptive layout, perfect for contemporary living and entertaining.

Serenely situated, in an exclusive residential enclave in the heart of Elwood, the north-facing apartment at the front of the iconic Hartpury Court, is set within glorious ‘old English’ style cottage gardens and lush lawn areas, that are beautifully maintained for all residents to enjoy. An undercover entry porch leads to the Tudor-style front door that matches with the heritage-listed Arthur W Plaisted-designed façade. Inside, soaring ceilings, polished hardwood floors, leadlight windows, ornate plasterwork and Tudor style exposed timber trimmings/strapping remain a time-honoured testament to the architect’s original vision. Contemporary enhancements, including a Jetmaster gas log fire heater, hydronic heating, and reverse cycle air conditioning, ensure all-season comfort within the home’s double-brick construction. Originally designed as a ‘sun room’ and bathed in northerly light, the study offers a perfect space for working-from-home, with an outlook of verdant greenery. 

The kitchen has an original servery to the dining room, timber benches and an impressive Falcon free-standing range with gas cooktop and double ovens.  There is a substantially-sized cellar under the kitchen floor with built-in steps and space for wine storage, and/or a gym/studio.  The three bedrooms are zoned off a hallway on the eastern side of the apartment and all are generously proportioned with lovely leadlight windows that delightfully draw in dappled morning light. The main bedroom is extra-large and has large bay windows overlooking the garden, and the gleaming central bathroom has a built-in tub and walk-in shower.

Additional features include newly installed bespoke Germary steel security screens, which can be open for fresh air while feeling safe and secure while being away or at night. A single secure under cover car park with access from Hartpury Avenue, and the beautifully maintained building has had foundation and roofing works carried out in recent years. This outstanding location is just steps to St Kilda Road trams, shops and cafes, and a short walk to Ripplonlea Station, Elwood Beach, Ormond Road Village and St Kilda Botanical Gardens.
