19 Glyndon Avenue, Brighton, Vic 3186

‘Elanora’ is blessed with the most impeccable pedigree – blue chip address, landmark architect, award-winning gardens and one of the most spectacular panoramas in Melbourne. And the opportunity now offered to become only its second custodian is highly significant and deeply exciting. 

With its immaculate Mediterranean-inspired façade perfectly framed by two magnificent Canary Island palms on a sweeping 1,270sqm (approx.) of land, ‘Elanora’ is a striking presence at the beach end of Glyndon Avenue - the wide, tranquil tree-lined boulevard lined with elegant homes and landmark estates that is considered by many to be the premier address on Brighton’s famous Golden Mile.

This home is a masterclass in proportion, symmetry, detail, amenity and pure liveability, and to move across its four beautifully planned and presented levels is to come to understand why celebrated architect Jon Friedrich has declared it one of his favourite works – it has found exactly the right balance of substance and style.

There are standout moments aplenty - the vast timber-panelled study, gracious formal dining with an exquisite picture window, a first-class contemporary kitchen, five exceptionally spacious bedrooms all with lovely outlooks and supported by four sleek bathrooms, a full-scale home cinema, world class home automation and a basement garage for up to five cars.

And then there are the outdoor rooms – the picturesque grounds, gardens and turquoise pool. The garden was named winner of the Victorian Landscape Award and, on level four, the home’s crowning glory: a vast and beautiful rooftop terrace with a barbeque and jaw dropping panoramic views across Port Phillip Bay to the CBD skyline. 

And all around the wonderful way of life that is quintessentially Brighton – the stylish shops, fine dining, leading schools and picture-perfect parks and beaches.
