136 Rutland Avenue, Mount Eliza, Vic 3930

Enveloped by the protected greenery of the Earimil Creek Nature Reserve across two boundary lines, this original 1970s brick veneer home claims 944 sqm (approx) of classic character within Mount Eliza's storied Ranelagh Estate, a setting where leafy seclusion is not just promised, but permanently preserved.

Released for the first time in 50 years, the single-level residence makes the most of its true north orientation, with a private gated entry, natural gardens, and a boardwalk approach introducing a timeless brick façade. Timber-framed windows and a deep-set half bay window nod to its nostalgic charm in the light-filled living room, while a laminate kitchen opens via sliders to a sun-drenched balcony overlooking the lawned rear garden and valley beyond, a natural extension of the home's quiet charm.

Tucked at the rear for privacy, the main suite features a walk-in robe and ensuite, with two additional bedrooms and a central bathroom unfolding along a separate hallway.

Perceptive buyers will see the merit in honouring the integrity of its mid-century soul, reimagining through a contemporary lens, or exploring a second-storey addition to capture sweeping Port Phillip Bay vistas (STCA). Whichever the direction, it is a home that rewards foresight, grounded by a location that continues to appreciate over time.

Balancing coastal ease with everyday amenity just 750 metres from Mount Eliza Village and its lively café and boutique shopping scene, with Ranelagh Beach and Peninsula Grammar moments away, additional features include ducted heating, a split system, two water tanks, and off-street parking for multiple vehicles via a double carport and single remote garage.
