The transformation of this captivating c1910 Edwardian has created a dream home of unmatched style and amenity. Nestled in a premier Elsternwick setting, it is near Glen Huntly Road’s cosmopolitan lifestyle precinct and an exceptional selection of schools.

A spacious home office leads to a contemporary family domain where a towering skylight heralds the transition from heritage charm to modern brilliance.
